OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Maintaining your dryer
Cleaning the exterior
• Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive substances.
• Protect the surface from sharp objects.
• Do not place any heavy or sharp objects or a detergent box on the dryer.
Keep them in a separate storage area. These items may scratch or damage
the top cover of the dryer.
• Because the entire dryer has a high-gloss finish, the surface can be scratched
or damaged. Avoid scratching or damaging the surface when using the dryer.
Cleaning the drum
• Clean with a damp cloth dampened with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
suitable for stainless steel and anodized surfaces.
• Remove the cleaner residue and dry with a clean cloth.
Cleaning the control panel
• Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive substances.
• Do not spray cleaners directly on the panel. The control panel finish may be
damaged by some laundry pre-treatment soil and stain remover products.
Apply such products away from your dryer and wipe up any spills or
over-spray immediately.
Cleaning and inspecting the exhaust system
Inspect and clean the exhaust yearly to maintain optimum performance.
1
Disconnect the exhaust duct from the dryer and from the exhaust hood (at the
exhaust outlet) outside of the building.
2
Check the interior of the duct and remove any lint accumulation.
3
Make sure that lint is removed from the exhaust hood. Lint may collect in the
exhaust hood so that the flappers or louvers will not open or close completely.
4
After cleaning the exhaust hood, make sure that the flapper or louvers move
freely.
5
Reassemble the exhaust duct and hood, making sure that the joints are secure
and sealed.
6
Operate your dryer and make sure that the exhaust air is not obstructed in the
vent and that there are no leaks in the system.
Note:
Check and clean the outside exhaust hood frequently to ensure a proper
air flow.
WARNING
Certain internal parts are intentionally not grounded and
may present a risk of electric shock only during servicing.
Service Personal: Do not contact the following parts while
the appliance is energized: Control Board and
Temperature-Regulating Thermistor (located on the Blower
Housing).
