CARING FOR YOUR WASHER/DRYER
As needed cleaning – dryer
Exterior
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth.
Interior
Garments which contain unstable dyes,
such as denim blue jeans or brightly colored
cotton items, may discolor the dryer interior.
Even after cleaning, these stains may
reappear when similar loads are dried.
These stains are not harmful to your dryer
and will not stain future loads of clothes. It
may be helpful to dry unstable dye items
inside out to prevent dye transfer.
