Installation Instructions
The Exterior:
Wipe or dust any spills or washing
compounds with a damp cloth. Dryer control
panel and finishes may be damaged by some
laundry pretreatment soil and stain remover
products. Apply these products away from the
dryer. The fabric may then be washed and dried
normally. Damage to your dryer caused by these
products is not covered by your warranty.
The Lint Filter:
Clean the lint filter before each
use. Slide out the grid that covers the filter. Run
your fingers across the filter. A waxy buildup may
form on the lint filter from using dryer-added fabric
softener sheets. To remove this buildup, wash the
lint screen in warm, soapy water. Dry thoroughly
and replace. Do not operate the dryer without
the lint filter and grid in place.
Have a qualified technician vacuum the lint
from the dryer once a year.
The Exhaust Duct:
Inspect and clean the exhaust
ducting at least once a year to prevent clogging.
A partially clogged exhaust can lengthen the
drying time.
Follow these steps:
Turn off electrical supply by disconnecting
the plug from the wall socket.
Disconnect the duct from the dryer.
Vacuum the duct with the hose attachment
and reconnect the duct.
The Exhaust Hood:
Check with a mirror that the
inside flaps of the hood move freely when
operating. Make sure that there is no wildlife
(birds, insects, etc.) nesting inside the duct
or hood.
