LEANING THE DRYER INTERIOR
Garments which 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. It is helpful to dry unstable dye items inside
out to prevent dye transfer.
To clean dryer drum:
1. Make a paste with powdered laundry detergent
and very warm water.
2. Apply paste to a soft cloth.
OR
Apply a liquid, non-flammable household cleaner
to the stained area and rub with a
soft cloth until all excess dye is
removed.
3. Wipe drum thoroughly with a damp cloth.
4. Tumble a load of clean cloths or towels to
dry drum.
w WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use nonflammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death,
explosion, or fire.
CARING FOR YOUR DRYER
R
EMOVING ACCUMULATED LINT FROM INSIDE THE DRYER CABINET
Lint can gather inside the dryer and be a fuel
for fire. Lint should be removed every 2 years, or
more often, depending on dryer usage. Cleaning
should be done by a qualified person.
L
INT SIGNAL
( ON SOME MODELS )
The lint signal (a whistle tone) indicates excessive
lint is present on your lint screen. A full
lint screen restricts airflow and
reduces drying efficiency. When you
hear the signal, stop the dryer and
clean the lint screen.
NOTE: Clean your lint screen before each load. Do
not wait for the lint signal.
