Cleaning the Dryer Location
Keep dryer area clear and free from items that would obstruct the
flow of combustion and ventilation air.
Cleaning the Lint Screen
Clean the lint screen before each load. A screen blocked by lint can
increase drying time.
IMPORTANT:
■
Do not run the dryer with the lint screen loose, damaged,
blocked, or missing. Doing so can cause overheating and
damage to both the dryer and fabrics.
■
If lint falls off the screen into the dryer during removal, check the
exhaust hood and remove the lint.
Every load cleaning
DRYER CARE
1. Apply a liquid, nonflammable household cleaner to the stained
area of the drum and rub with a soft cloth until stain is removed.
2. Wipe drum thoroughly with a damp cloth.
3. Tumble a load of clean cloths or towels to dry the drum.
NOTE: Garments that 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. Dry unstable dye items inside out to avoid transfer
of dye.
From Inside the Dryer Cabinet
Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often, depending on
dryer usage. Cleaning should be done by a qualified person.
From the Exhaust Vent
Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often, depending on
dryer usage.
Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the risk of hose
failure. Periodically inspect and replace inlet hoses if bulges, kinks,
cuts, wear, or leaks are found.
When replacing your inlet hoses, record the date of replacement.
Install and store your dryer where it will not freeze. Because some
water may stay in the hoses, freezing can damage your dryer. If
storing or moving your dryer during freezing weather, winterize it.
