* Clean the lint filter after every load. Lint build-up
on the filter
restricts air flow, which causes longer drying times. The filter
is located
at the bottom
of the door opening.
Remove by
pulling straight

" Occasionally
a waxy build-up
may form on the lint filter and/
or moisture sensing bars from using dryer-added
fabric
soft-
ener sheets. To remove this build-up,
wash the filter and bars
with warm, soapy water. Dry the filter thoroughly
and replace.
Do not operate the dryer without
the lint filter in place.
" If the dryer drum becomes
stained from noncolorfast
fabrics,
clean the drum with a damp cloth and a mild liquid house-
hold cleanser.
Remove cleanser
residue before drying the next
load.
" Every 18 months an authorized
servicer should dean the dryer
cabinet
interior
and exhaust duct. These areas can collect
lint and dust over time. An excessive amount of lint build-up
could result in inefficient
drying
and possible fire hazard.

gritty
or abrasive
cleansers.

stained, clean with diluted
chlorine
bleach
(1 part bleach
to 8 parts water).
