Care and Cleaning To reduce risk of fire or serious injury to persons or property,

comply with the basic warnings listed in Important Safety Instructions,

pages 2-3, and those listed below.

• Before cleaning the dryer interior, unplug the electrical power cord to

avoid electrical shock hazards.

• Do not use any type spray cleanser when cleaning dryer interior.

Hazardous fumes or electrical shock could occur.

Inside

• Clean the lint screen after every load. Lint build-up in the screen restricts

air flow, which causes longer drying times. The screen is located at the

bottom of the door opening. Remove by pulling straight up. Remove the

lint and replace the screen.

• Occasionally a waxy build-up may form on the lint screen from using

dryer-added fabric softener sheets. To remove this build-up, wash the

lint screen in warm, soapy water. Dry thoroughly and replace. Do not

operate the dryer without the lint screen in place.

• If the dryer drum becomes stained from noncolorfast fabrics, clean the

drum with a damp cloth and a mild liquid household cleanser. Remove

cleanser residue before drying the next load.

• Every 18 months an authorized servicer should clean the dryer cabinet

interior and exhaust duct. These areas can collect lint and dust over time.

An excessive amount of lint build-up could result in inefficient drying

and possible fire hazard.

Outside

• Clean the cabinet with mild soap and water. Never use harsh, gritty or

abrasivecleansers.

• If the cabinet becomes stained, clean with diluted chlorine bleach [1/2

cup

(120 ml) in 1 quart (.95 liter) water]. Rinse several times with clear water.

• Remove glue residue from tape or labels with a mixture of warm water

and mild detergent. Or, touch residue with the sticky side of the tape or

label.

•Before moving the dryer, place a strip of cardboard or thin fiberboard

under the front leveling legs to prevent damage to floor.

Cleanlintscreen afterevery load.

Do not store or place laundry products

on top of dryer at any time. They can

damage the finish or controls.
