Care of Your Dryer
WARNING
To reduce the risk of an electric shock, serious in-
jury or death, disconnect the electrical service to the
dryer before cleaning the interior.
W132
Dryer Interior
Wipe the surfaces using a soft cloth and household cleaner or a
non-abrasive paste of powdered laundry detergent and hot water,
followed by a short heat cycle with a load of rags.
To remove crayon or ball point ink off the dryer drum, put the
heat on high and use old rags in the dryer to absorb the crayon or
ink. If unsuccessful, contact the appliance dealer. DO NOT use
any chemicals in the dryer.
IMPORTANT: The use of chlorine bleach for removing
any discolorations should be avoided because bleach
could damage the finish.
Cabinet
Wipe the dryer cabinet as needed. If detergent, bleach or other
washing products have been spilled on the dryer, wipe immedi-
ately. Some products will cause permanent damage if spilled on
the cabinet.
Control Panel
Use only a damp or sudsy cloth for cleaning the control panel.
Some spray pretreat products may harm the finish on the control
panel. DO NOT use products that contain alcohol on the control
panel.
Exhaust System
WARNING
To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect the
electrical service to the dryer before cleaning.
W043
WARNING
Any disassembly requiring the use of tools must be
performed by a suitably qualified service person.
W299
The exhaust duct should be inspected after one year of use and
cleaned if necessary by a qualified service person to remove any
lint build-up. Inspect and clean exhaust duct every one to two
years as required thereafter.
NOTE: This recommended maintenance is not covered
under the terms of the warranty.
The weather hood should be checked frequently to make sure the
dampers move freely, dampers are not pushed in and that nothing
has been set against them.
Keep dryer area clear and free from combustible materials, gaso-
line and other flammable vapors and liquids.
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
NOTE: Verify proper operation after servicing.
Lint Filter
CLEAN THE LINT FILTER BEFORE DRYING EACH LOAD.
(Refer to
for lint filter location.) Cleaning the lint filter
is important because a layer or pad of lint on the filter will block
the flow of air through the dryer, thus reducing the efficiency of
the dryer. The clothes will take longer to dry and energy will be
wasted.
The lint filter may be washed if needed. Annually remove lint fil-
ter and screw to vacuum the duct under it.
