DRYER CARE

WARNING
•
Certain internal parts are intentionally not grounded and may present
a risk of electric shock only during servicing. Service Personnel – Do
not contact the following parts while the appliance is energized: inlet
valve, control board and temperature-regulating thermistor (located
on blower housing).

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

CONTROL PANEL
•
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive substances.
•
Do not spray cleaners directly on the panel.
•
The control panel finish may be damaged by some laundry pre-
treatment soil and stain remover products. Apply such products away
from your dryer and wipe up any spills or overspray immediately.
STAINLESS STEEL OR ANODIZED DRUM
•
To clean the stainless steel or anodized drum, use a damp cloth with
a mild, non-abrasive cleaner suitable for stainless steel and anodized
surfaces.
•
Remove the cleaner residue and dry with a clean cloth.
DRYER EXTERIOR
•
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive substances.
•
Protect the surface from sharp objects.
•
Do not place any heavy or sharp objects or a detergent box on the
dryer. Keep them on the purchased pedestal or in a separate storage
box. This may scratch or damage the top cover of the dryer.
•
Since the entire dryer has a high-gloss finish, the surface can be
scratched or damaged.
•
Avoid scratching or damaging the surface when using the dryer.
DRYER EXHAUST SYSTEM
•
Should be inspected and cleaned yearly to maintain optimum
performance.
•
Disconnect the exhaust duct from the dryer and from the exhaust hood
(at the exhaust outlet) outside of the building.
•
Check the interior of the duct and remove any lint accumulation.
•
Be sure that lint is removed from the exhaust hood. Lint may collect in
the exhaust hood so that the flappers or louvers will not open or close
completely.
