CARE AND CLEANING
• Before cleaning the dryer interior, unplug the electrical
power cord to avoid electrical shock hazards.
• Do not use any type spray cleanser when cleaning the dryer
interior. Hazardous fumes or electrical shock could occur.
INSIDE
• Clean the lint fi lter after every load. Lint build-up on the
fi lter restricts air fl ow, which causes longer drying times.
The fi lter is located at the bottom of the door opening. Re-
move by pulling straight up. Remove the lint and replace
the fi lter.
• Occasionally a waxy build-up may form on the lint fi lter
and/or moisture sensing bars from using dryer-added
fabric softener sheets. To remove this build-up, wash them
with warm, soapy water. Dry the fi lter thoroughly and
replace. Do not operate the dryer without the lint fi lter 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 dry-
ing the next load.
• Every 18 months an authorized servicer should clean the dry-
er cabinet interior and exhaust duct. These areas can collect
lint and dust over time. An excessive amount of lint build-up
could result in ineffi cient drying and possible fi re hazard.
OUTSIDE
• Clean the cabinet with mild soap and water. Never use
harsh, gritty or abrasive cleansers.
• If the cabinet becomes stained, clean with diluted chlo-
rine bleach (1 part bleach to 8 parts 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.
• When cleaning chrome parts use a window cleaner with
ammonia or mild soap and water.
• Before moving the dryer, place a strip of cardboard or thin
fi berboard under the front leveling legs to prevent damage
to the fl oor.
