CLEANING THE DRYER INTERIOR

To clean dryer drum
1. Make a paste with powdered laundry de-
tergent and very warm water.
2. Apply paste to a soft cloth.
OR
Apply a liquid, nonflammable household
cleaner to the stained area and rub with a
soft cloth until all excess dye is removed.
3. Wipe drum thoroughly with a damp cloth.
4. Tumble a load of clean cloths or towels to
dry drum.
NOTE: Garments which contain unstable dyes,
such as denim blue jeans or brightly colored cot-
ton items, may discolor the dryer interior. These
stains are not harmful to your dryer and will not
stain future loads of clothes. Dry unstable dye
items inside out to prevent dye transfer.

CLEANING THE DRYER EXTERIOR

To avoid damaging the exterior finish, do not
use soap-filled scouring pads, abrasive clean-
ers, steel-wool pads, gritty washcloths or some
paper towels on stainless steel surfaces.
• To clean the stainless steel surfaces of the
dryer, use the stainless steel wipes. Rub in
the direction of the grain. Order Part Number
8212510.
• To clean the optional decorative mat, remove
it from the top of the dryer, and clean both
sides with an all-purpose cleaner. Rinse with
water and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth. Place
it back on the top of the dryer.
