Operating Tips

Clean the Lint Filter
• After each load.
• To shorten drying time.
• To operate more energy efficiently.
NOTE: Do not operate the dryer without the lint
filter in place.
Care & Cleaning
Control Panel
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive sub-
stances.
Tumbler
Remove any stains such as crayon, ink pen or fabric
dye from new items (such as towels or jeans) with an
all-purpose cleaner. Then tumble old towels or rags to
remove any excess stain or cleaning substance. Once
these steps are done, stains may still be visible, but
should not transfer to subsequent loads.

Replacing the Drum Light

Instructions for replacing the bulb:
1. Unplug or disconnect the dryer from the electrical
power supply.
2. Open the door and use a Phillips screwdriver to
remove the screw attaching the lens to the tumbler
front.
3. Remove lens cover by pulling cover toward center of
tumbler.

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.
• When drying large, bulky items such as a blanket or
comforter, it may be necessary to reposition the load
during the cycle to ensure even drying.
Cabinet
Wipe off any marks with soap and water. Use an appli-
ance wax once a year if desired.
Dryer Exhaust System
Inspect and clean once a year to maintain optimum per-
formance. The outside exhaust hood should be cleaned
more frequently to ensure proper operation. (Refer to
the Installation Instructions for more information.)
4. Rotate bulb counter-clockwise to remove from socket.
5. Replace the bulb with a 120 volt, 10 watt maximum
candelabra base light bulb.
6. Turn the light bulb clockwise into socket.
7. Replace lens cover by hooking plastic tabs into tum-
bler front below the light housing.
8. Reinstall the screw into the lens cover screw hole.
9. Reconnect dryer to power supply.
