Care & Cleaning
Control Panel
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive
substances.
Tumbler
Remove any stains (such as crayon, ink pen or fabric
dye) with soap and water. Then tumble clean old
towels or rags to remove any excess stain.
Cabinet
Wipe off any marks with soap and water. Use an
appliance wax once a year if desired.
Dryer Exhaust System
Inspect and clean once a year to maintain optimum
performance. The outside exhaust hood should be
cleaned more frequently to ensure proper operation.
(Refer to the Installation Instructions for more
information.)
Load the Dryer Properly
Place only one washload in the dryer at a time.
Mixed loads of heavy and lightweight clothes will dry
differently. Lightweight clothes will dry, while heavy
clothes may be damp.
Add one or more similar items to the dryer when only
one or two articles need drying. This improves the
tumbling action and drying efficiency.
Overloading restricts tumbling action, resulting in
uneven drying as well as excessive wrinkling of some
fabrics.
