Cleaning the Exterior
Proper care of your dryer can extend its life.
The outside of the machine can be cleaned with
warm water and a mild, nonabrasive household
detergent.
Immediately wipe off any spills with a soft,
damp cloth.
IMPORTANT: Do not use methylated spirits,
solvents, or similar products.
Never use steel wool or abrasive cleansers; they
can damage the surface.
REGULAR CLEANING

Wipe around the door opening and seal with a
soft, damp cloth to prevent lint and dust buildup
that could damage the door seal.
Clean the window with a soft cloth dampened
with warm water and a mild, nonabrasive

The stainless steel drum can be cleaned with
a conventional stainless steel cleaner, used
according to the manufacturer’s specifications.

can scratch or damage the surface.
Cleaning Around and Under the Dryer
Vacuum lint and dust from around the dryer and
