Cleaning Clean your dryer with a soft damp cloth and wipe dry. Do not use scouring cleaners as they can damage the paint and plastic surfaces. Interior The drum is rust-resistant. However, colored fabrics which lose color or bleed in the washer may cause discoloration of the dryer drum. We recommend that the dryer drum be cleaned with a cloth using a detergent and water paste or a mild abrasive, such as Soft Scrub TM. Complete cleaning by thoroughly wiping the drum with a moist cloth. Then tumble-dry several wet rags or old towels for 20 to 30 minutes before using the dryer normally. Exterior Wipe off any spills or washing compounds. Wipe or dust with a damp cloth. Try not to strike the surface with sharp objects. Dryer control panel and finishes may be damaged by some laundry pretreatment soil and stain remover products if such products are sprayed on or have direct contact with the dryer. Pre-Treatment Sprays Do not use pre-treatment sprays or liquids on or near your dryer as they can damage your machine's control panel as well as any of its plastic parts. Damage to your dryer caused by pretreatment products will not be covered by your warranty. Stains If stains appear inside the drum of your machine, mix a detergent and water paste (or use a nonflammable liquid cleaner) and wipe over the stain with a soft cloth. Then tumble old towels for 20 - 40 minutes on the FLUFF cycle to remove all traces of the cleaner. Lint Filter The lint filter will need to be cleaned before each time you use the dryer. It is easier to remove the lint when your fingers are moistened. A lint filter that is clean ensures your clothes will remain lint-free and your dryer will operate at maximum efficiency. Regularly inspect the outdoor exhaust opening. Remove any accumulated lint from this area and any surrounding areas. Storage To store your dryer for a short period of time, disconnect the power supply and clean the lint filter. 42
