DRYER MAINTENANCE

WATER INLET HOSE
Replace inlet hose after 5 years of use to reduce the risk of
hose failure. Periodically inspect and replace inlet hoses if
bulges, kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks are found.
When replacing your inlet hose, mark the date of replacement
on the label with a permanent marker.
CLEANING THE TOUCH SCREEN
The Touch Screen should be cleaned periodically to remove
fingerprints or dust.
1. Make sure the dryer is OFF.
2. Wipe the touch screen area with soft, damp cloth.
3. Wipe dry with clean, soft towel.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging the touch screen window,
do not use chemicals or abrasive products.
CLEANING THE DRYER INTERIOR
Keep your dryer as clean and fresh as your clothes.
To keep dryer interior odor-free, follow this recommended
monthly cleaning procedure:
1. Apply a liquid, nonflammable household cleaner to the
stained area of the drum and rub with a soft cloth until
stain is removed.
2. Wipe drum thoroughly with a damp cloth.
3. Tumble a load of clean cloths or towels to dry the drum.
NOTE: Garments that contain unstable dyes, such as
denim blue jeans or brightly colored cotton 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 avoid transfer of dye.
CLEANING THE DRYER LOCATION
Keep dryer area clear and free from items that would obstruct
the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
CLEANING THE LINT SCREEN
Clean the lint screen before each load. A screen blocked by
lint can increase drying time.
IMPORTANT:
Do not run the dryer with the lint screen loose, damaged,
blocked, or missing. Doing so can cause overheating and
damage to both the dryer and fabrics.
If lint falls off the screen into the dryer during removal, check
the exhaust hood and remove the lint.
Every load cleaning
1. The lint screen is located in the front of the dryer. Pull the
lint screen straight up to remove. Roll lint off the screen
with your fingers. Do not rinse or wash screen to remove
lint. Wet lint is hard to remove.
2. Push the lint screen firmly back into place.
As needed cleaning
1. Roll lint off screen with your fingers.
2. Wet both sides of lint screen with hot water.
3. Wet a nylon brush with hot water and liquid detergent.
Scrub lint screen with the brush to remove residue
buildup.
4. Rinse screen with hot water.
5. Thoroughly dry lint screen with a clean towel. Insert lint
screen back into dryer.
