Helpful Information
Care & Cleaning
The drum is rust-resistant. However,
colored fabrics which lose color or
bleed in the washer may cause dis-
coloration of the dryer drum. We
recommend that the dryer drum
be cleaned with a cloth using a
detergent and water paste or a
mild abrasive, such as Soft Scrub™.
Rinse thoroughly. Then tumble-
dry several wet rags or old towels
for 20 to 30 minutes before using
the dryer normally.
Interior
Wipe off any spills or washing
compounds. Wipe or dust with
a damp cloth. Try not to strike
the surface with sharp objects.
Dryer control panel and finishes
may be damaged by some laundry
pretreatment soil and stain remover
products if such products are
sprayed on or have direct contact
with the dryer.
Apply these pretreatment products
away from the dryer. The fabric
may then be washed and dried
normally. Damage to your dryer
caused by pretreatment products
is not covered by your warranty.
Exterior
Before every dryer use, clean the
lint filter. It is easier to remove
the lint when your fingers are
moistened.
To keep your dryer operating at
peak performance, be sure to have
a technician vacuum the lint from
the machine every three years.
Lint Filter
To store your dryer for a short peri-
od of time, disconnect the power
supply and clean the lint filter.
