Care and cleaning
CONTROL PANEL
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive substances.
Do not spray cleaner directly onto the panel.
The control panel fi nish 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.
TUMBLER
Remove any stains from the tumbler caused by crayon, ink, fabric dye (from new items such as towels
or jeans) and so on with an all-purpose cleaner.
Tumble old towels or rags to remove any remaining stain or cleaning substance.
Once these steps are followed, stains may still be visible, but should not transfer to subsequent loads.
STAINLESS STEEL TUMBLER
To clean the stainless steel tumbler, use a damp cloth with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner suitable for stainless
steel 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 fi nish, the surface can be scratched or damaged.
Therefore, avoid scratching or damaging the surface when using the dryer.
DRYER EXHAUST SYSTEM
Should be inspected and cleaned yearly to maintain the optimum performance.
The outside exhaust hood should be cleaned more frequently to ensure proper operation.
