IMPO NT
Clean the lint filter after every load.
To reduce risk of fire or serious injury to persons or property,
comply with the basic warnings listed in the important Safety
!nstrUct on a nd tho j!sted beJow: ........................................................................................................................................................................
• Before cleaning the dryer interior, unplug the electrical power
cord to avoid electrical shock hazards.
• Do not use any type of spray cleanser when cleaning the dry-
er interior. Hazardous fumes or electrical shock could occur.
INSIDE
* Clean the lint filter after every load. Lint build-up on the filter
restricts air flow, which causes longer drying times. The filter
is located at the bottom of the door opening. Remove by
pulling straight up. Remove the lint and replace the filter.
" Occasionally a waxy build-up may form on the lint filter and/
or moisture sensing bars from using dryer-added fabric soft-
ener sheets. To remove this build-up, wash the filter and bars
with warm, soapy water. Dry the filter thoroughly and replace.
Do not operate the dryer without the lint filter in place.
* If the dryer drum becomes stained from noncolorfast fabrics,
clean the drum with a damp cloth and a mild liquid house-
hold cleanser. Remove cleanser residue before drying the next
load.
* Every 18 months an authorized servicer should clean the dryer
cabinet interior and exhaust duct. These areas can collect
lint and dust over time. An excessive amount of lint build-up
could result in inefficient drying and possible fire hazard.
OUTSIDE
" Clean the cabinet with mild soap and water. Never use harsh,
gritty or abrasive cleansers.
* If the cabinet becomes stained, clean with diluted chlorine
bleach (1 part bleach to 8 parts water). Rinse several times
with clear water.
, Remove glue residue remaining from tape or labels with a
mixture of warm water and mild detergent.
, When cleaning chrome parts use a window cleaner with am-
monia or mild soap and water.
" Before moving the dryer, place a strip of cardboard or thin
fiberboard under the front leveling legs to prevent damage to
the floor.
