REMOVING ACCUMULATED LINT FROM INSIDE THE DRYER CABINET
Lint can gather inside the dryer and be a fuel
for fire. Lint should be removed every 2 years, or
more often, depending on dryer usage. Cleaning
should be done by a qualified person.
CLEANING THE DRYER INTERIOR
Garments which contain unstable dyes, such as
denim blue jeans or brightly colored cotton items,
may discolor the dryer interior. These stains are not
harmful to your dryer and will not stain future loads of
clothes. It is helpful to dry unstable dye items inside
out to prevent dye transfer.
NOTE: Even after cleaning, these stains may reap-
pear when similar loads are dried.
To clean dryer drum:
1. Make a paste with powdered laundry detergent
and very warm water.
2. Apply paste to a soft cloth.
OR
Apply a liquid, non-flammable household cleaner
to the stained area and rub with a
soft cloth until all excess dye is
removed.
3. Wipe drum thoroughly with a damp cloth.
4. Tumble a load of clean cloths or towels to
dry drum.
wWARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use nonflammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death,
explosion, or fire.
