FIRE HAZARD

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.

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.

Before cleaning the dryer interior, unplug the 

• 

electrical power cord to avoid electrical shock 
hazards. 

Do not use any type spray cleanser when clean-

• 

ing the dryer interior. Hazardous fumes or electri-
cal 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 re-
place. Do not operate the dryer without the lint 
fi lter in place. 

If the dryer drum becomes stained from noncol-

• 

orfast 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.

Clean the cabinet with mild soap and water. 

• 

Never use harsh, gritty or abrasive cleansers.

If the cabinet becomes stained, clean with 

• 

diluted chlorine bleach (1 part bleach to 8 parts 
water). Rinse several times with clear water.

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.

When cleaning chrome parts use a window 

• 

cleaner with ammonia or mild soap and water.

Before moving the dryer, place a strip of card-

• 

board or thin fi berboard under the front leveling 
legs to prevent damage to the fl oor.

Do not store or place laundry products on top of 
dryer at any time. They can damage the fi nish or 
controls.

Clean lint screen after every load.
