Care and Cleaning 13 WARNING To reduce risk of fire or serious injury to persons or property, comply with the basic warnings listed in the Important Safety Instructions and those listed below. IMPORTANT Clean the lint filter and dump water container after every load. • Before cleaning the dryer 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. INSIDE • Clean the lint filter after every load. Lint build-up on the filter restricts air flow, which causes longer drying times. The filter is located at the bottom of the door opening. Remove by pulling straight up. Remove the lint and replace the filter. • Occasionally a waxy build-up may form on the lint filter 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 filter thoroughly and replace. Do not operate the dryer without the lint filter 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. • See next page for more information regarding cleaning of the condenser assembly. OUTSIDE • Clean the cabinet with mild soap and water. Never use harsh, gritty or abrasive cleansers. • Remove debris and lint from the front of the condenser door with a vacuum cleaner. • 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. • Before moving the dryer, place a strip of cardboard or thin fiberboard under the front leveling legs to prevent damage to the floor. IMPORTANT Do not store or place laundry products on top of dryer at any time. They can damage the finish or controls.
