Care and Cleaning of the Dryer

The Exterior: Wipe or dust any spills or washing
compounds with a damp cloth. Dryer control
panel and finishes may be damaged by some
laundry pretreatment soil and stain remover
products. Apply these products away from the
dryer. The fabric may then be washed and dried
normally. Damage to your dryer caused by these
products is not covered by your warranty.
The Lint Filter: Clean the
lint filter before each use.
Moisten your fingers and
reach into the filter
opening. Run your fingers
across the filter. Have
a qualified technician
vacuum the lint from the
dryer once a year.
Stainless Steel: To clean stainless steel surfaces,
use a damp cloth with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
suitable for stainless steel surfaces. Remove the
cleaner residue, and then dry with a clean cloth.

ducting at least once a year to prevent clogging.

the plug from the wall socket.
Disconnect the duct from the dryer.

Vacuum the duct with the hose attachment
3
and reconnect the duct.
The Exhaust Hood: Check with a mirror that the
inside flaps of the hood move freely when
operating. Make sure that there is no wildlife
(birds, insects, etc.) nesting inside the duct or hood.
