Care and Cleaning

•  Before cleaning the dryer interior, unplug 

the electrical power cord to avoid electrical 

shock hazards. 

•  Do not use any type spray cleanser when 

cleaning the dryer 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 softener 

sheets. To remove this build-up, wash 

them 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 

non-colorfast fabrics, clean the drum with 

a damp cloth and a mild liquid household 

cleanser. Remove cleanser residue before 

drying the next load.

•  See next page for more information regarding 

cleaning of the condenser assembly.

Outside

•  Clean the cabinet with mild soap and water. 

Never use harsh, gritty or abrasive cleansers.

•  Remove debris and lint from the front of the 

condenser door with a vacuum cleaner.

•  Remove glue residue from tape or labels 

with a mixture of warm water and mild 

detergent. Or, touch residue with the sticky 

side of the tape or label.

•  Before moving the dryer, place a strip of 

cardboard or thin fiberboard under the front 

leveling legs to prevent damage to the floor.
