ENGLISH Dryer Regular Cleaning Cleaning the Exterior Proper care of your appliance can extend its life. The outside of the appliance can be cleaned with warm water and a mild, nonabrasive household detergent. Immediately wipe off any spills with a soft, damp cloth. NOTE • Do not use methylated spirits, solvents, or similar products. • Never use steel wool or abrasive cleansers; they can damage the surface. MAINTENANCE 41 NOTE • Cleaning the lint filter will reduce drying time and energy consumption and prevent unnecessary malfunctions. • Unload all of the clothes from the appliance before pulling out the lint filter. • If you have pets or use dryer sheets, perform a thorough cleaning of the lint filters more often, using a vacuum cleaner or under running water. • After cleaning the 3-piece lint filter, insert it back into place. The appliance will not operate without the lint filter in place. Cleaning the Interior • Wipe around the door opening and seal with a soft, damp cloth to prevent lint and dust buildup that could damage the door seal. • Clean the window with a soft cloth dampened with warm water and a mild, nonabrasive household detergent. Then wipe dry. • The stainless steel drum can be cleaned with a conventional stainless steel cleaner, used according to the manufacturer's specifications. Never use steel wool or abrasive cleansers; they may scratch or damage the surface. Cleaning Around and Under the Appliance Vacuum lint and dust from around the dryer and underneath it regularly. Leaving the Door Open After you finish using the appliance, leave the door open overnight to allow air to circulate and dry the drum. This helps prevent odors. In high-traffic areas or where space is tight, use the magnetic door stop to keep the door slightly ajar. To use, gently close the door until the magnet just contacts the inner door frame. Cleaning the 3-Piece Lint Filter CAUTION • Refer to the following instructions for proper cleaning of the lint filter. Failure to do so can cause lint buildup on the condenser that can affect the drying performance. a Inner Filter Assembly (2 Filters) • Clean both inner filters after every cycle. b Outer Filter • Clean the outer filter after drying 10 times or when the lint has accumulated on the outer filter. Cleaning the Inner Filter Assembly 1 Pull out the inner filter assembly from the outer filter. • Open the inner filter assembly by unfolding it in the direction of the arrow. • Remove the small filter at the base by sliding it out of the grooves on each side. 2 Use your fingers to get most of the lint off the filters. To clean off residual lint, use a vacuum cleaner or rinse under running water. • The filters must be completely dry before using or they could cause an unpleasant odor. CAUTION • Do not tap the large inner filter repeatedly as the built-in magnet may dislodge and cause a malfunction.
