dryer care and cleaning
The exterior.
Clean or dust off splatters or cleaning compounds using a
damp cloth. The dryer control panel and the finishing can be damaged by some
stain removers and grime treatments. Apply these products to the cloth away
from the dryer. The cleaning cloth can then be washed and dried normally.
Damage to your dryer caused by these products is not covered by warranty.
The Lint Trap Filter
Clean the lint trap filter after every use.
Remove it by pulling it in a straight line
upward. Run your fingers across the filter.
You can get a waxy buildup on the lint trap
filter from using fabric softener sheets for
the dryer. To remove this buildup, clean the
filter screen in warm soapy water.
.
Let it dry completely and return it to its place. Do not operate the dryer without
the lint trap filter in its place. Have a qualified technician vacuum the lint from the
dryer once a year.
The exhaust duct.
Inspect and clean the exhaust duct at least once a year to
prevent obstruction. A partially obstructed exhaust duct can lengthen dry time.
1. Turn off the power supply, disconnecting the
plug from the wall outlet.
2. Disconnect the duct from the dryer.
3. Vacuum the duct with the vacuum hose and
reconnect the duct.
The exhaust vent hood
Check with a mirror that the interior flaps
of the hood move freely during operation.
Stainless Steel Surfaces
To clean the stainless steel surfaces, use a damp cloth with a gentle, non-abrasive
cleanser appropriate for stainless steel surfaces. Remove the cleaner residue and
then dry with a clean cloth.
