Cleaning and care
Cleaning the dryer
TO AVOID
RISK OF EXPLOSION!
Never use solvents or highly
flammable liquids for cleaning.
Incorrect cleaning may damage the
dryer. Do not spray with a pressure
washer. Do not use scouring agents
or all-purpose cleaners. Do not use
steam cleaners.
Wipe the housing and the control panel
with a soft cloth and soapy water only.
Wipe the drum, door seal and inside of
the door with a damp cloth only.
Cleaning the exhaust duct
Inspect and clean the exhaust ducting
at least once a year to prevent
clogging. A partially clogged exhaust
will lengthen the drying time and will
result in poor performance of the dryer.
Turn off the circuit breaker
Unplug the dryer from the power
supply.
Disconnect the duct from the
dryer.
Vacuum the inside of the duct to
remove any accumulation of lint or
debris.
Reconnect the duct.
Professional duct cleaning is
recommended. See page 18.
Cleaning the moisture
sensor
The moisture sensor has to be cleaned
periodically because a fine layer of
transparent buildup is deposited on the
sensors.
This deposit can easily be removed by
wiping the sensors (the two bars next
to the lint filter) with a cloth and a little
white vinegar.
Use white vinegar only!
Clean the moisture sensor once a
month.
Cleaning the lint filter
housing
Lint and small debris may accumulate
in the lower portion of the lint filter
opening. With the lint filter removed,
accumulated lint can be seen and
easily removed with a vaccum cleaner
using a narrow crevice cleaning tool.
If you do not have a crevice cleaning
tool that will reach to the bottom of the
opening, you may contact Customer
Service for a list of sources and
recommended attachments.
Any accumulation of lint or debris
should be removed at least once a
month using your vacuum cleaner.
Cleaning the Steam
nozzle
Once a year, inspect the nozzle outlet.
If you suspect blockage, wipe the
outside of the nozzle with a cloth
moistened with vinegar. If the nozzle is
completely blocked, consult the
troubleshooting guide (see page 31) for
removal and cleaning instructions. If
the nozzle remains blocked, call
customer service (see page 32).
Change the light bulb
The dryer light turns on inside the drum
when you open the door and stays on
for for about 5 minutes or until the door
is closed. The light turns off about 4
seconds after the door is closed.
To change the light bulb:
Set program selector to "Off".
Turn off the circuit breaker.
Unplug the dryer from the power
supply.
Open the door and locate the
dryer light on the upper left side of
the seal.
%
Loosen the screw and open the
dryer light cover.
Turn bulb counterclockwise.
Replace the bulb with a new
appliance bulb only (obtainable
through parts department).
