WARNING

Information and those listed below.
Cleaning the fi lter
WARNING
Clean the lint fi lter after every load.
CLEAN LINT will be displayed at the end
of the cycle to remind you to remove lint
from the fi lter.
Clean the lint fi lter after every load. Lint
build-up on the fi lter restricts air fl ow, which
causes longer drying times. The fi lter is
located at the bottom of the door opening.

IMPORTANT
• DO NOT open the clamshell fi lter
beyond the hinge limit.
• ALWAYS handle the clamshell fi lter by the
frame, not by the mesh material.
Inside
• Occasionally a waxy build-up may form
on the lint fi lter and/or moisture sensing
bars from using dryer-added fabric
softener sheets. To remove this build-up,
wash them with warm, soapy water. Dry
the fi lter thoroughly and replace. DO NOT
operate the dryer without the lint fi lter in
place.
• If the dryer drum becomes stained from
non colorfast fabrics, clean the drum with
a damp cloth and a mild liquid household
cleanser. Remove cleanser residue before
drying the next load.
• Before cleaning the dryer drum interior,
unplug the electrical power cord to avoid
electrical shock hazards.
DO NOT use any type spray cleanser when
cleaning the dryer interior. Hazardous fumes
or electrical shock could occur.
• Every 18 months a qualifi ed service
professional should clean the dryer
cabinet interior, lint screen housing and
exhaust duct. These areas can collect lint
and dust over time. An excessive amount
of lint build-up could result in ineffi cient
drying and possible fi re hazard.
Outside
• Clean the dryer cabinet with mild soap
and water. Never use harsh, gritty or
abrasive cleansers.
• If the cabinet becomes stained, clean with
diluted chlorine bleach (1 part bleach to 8
parts water). Rinse several times with clear
water.
• Remove glue residue from tape or labels
with a mixture of warm water and mild
detergent. Or, touch residue with the sticky
side of the tape or label.
