Frigidaire FFLE3911QW Owner's Manual

•  Before cleaning the laundry center 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.

•  Clean the lint fi lter after every load. Lint build-up on 

the fi lter restricts air fl ow, which causes longer drying 

times. The fi lter is located at the bottom of the door 

opening. Remove by pulling straight up. Remove the 

lint and replace the fi lter. 

•  Occasionally a waxy build-up may form on the lint fi lter 

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 fi lter thoroughly 

and replace. Do not operate the dryer without the lint 

fi lter in place. 

•  If the dryer drum becomes stained from noncolorfast 

fabrics, clean the drum with a damp cloth and a mild 

liquid household 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 ineffi cient drying 

and possible fi re hazard.

•  Remove items from the washer as soon as the cycle 

ends. Excess wrinkling, color transfer, and odors may 

develop in items left in the washer.

•  Dry the washer top, the area around the lid opening, 

and the underside of the lid. These areas should always 

be dry before the lid is closed.

•  Before cleaning the washer interior, unplug the electri-

cal power cord to avoid electrical shock hazards. 

•  When extremely soiled items have been washed, a dirty 

residue may remain on the tub. Remove this by wiping 

the tub with a nonabrasive household cleanser. Rinse 

thoroughly with water.

•  The base plate or tub may become stained from fabric 

dye. Clean these parts with a nonabrasive household 

cleanser. This prevents dye transfer to future loads.

•  Remove the dual chamber insert (a) from the bleach 

and fabric softener dispenser by pinching at the cham-

ber divider and lifting upward. Also remove the siphon 

cap (b).

•  Rinse the insert and cap with a combination of ¾ cup 

liquid chlorine bleach and 1 gallon hot tap water to 

remove any buildup. Large amounts of fabric softener 

residue may indicate improper dilution or more frequent 

cleaning is required. Rinse well with tap water.

•  For the dispenser well, use a small brush to clean the 

recesses. Remove all residue.

•  Replace the siphon cap and insert by pressing it in 

place until you hear a slight click.

Clean the lint fi lter after every load.

To reduce risk of fi re or serious injury to persons or 

property, comply with the basic warnings listed in the 

Important Safety Instructions and those listed below.

A clothes dryer produces combustible lint. The dryer 

must be connected to an outdoors exhaust. Regularly 

inspect the outdoor exhaust opening and remove any 

accumulation of lint around the opening and in the 

surrounding area.

Fabric softener may build up in the dispenser well. 

Residue should be removed once or twice a month.
