Lint signal

The lint signal (a whistle tone) indicates excessive lint is present on your lint screen or it has a residue buildup. See page 14.

A full lint screen restricts airflow and

reduces drying efficiency. When you

hear the signal, stop the dryer and

clean the lint screen.

NOTE: Clean your lint screen before each load. Do not wait for the lint signal.

Cleaning the dryer interior

Garments which 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. It is helpful to dry unstable dye items inside out to prevent dye transfer.

To clean dryer drum:

1.Make a paste with powdered laundry detergent and very warm water.

2.Apply paste to a soft cloth.

OR

Apply a liquid, non-flammable 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.

wWARNING

Explosion Hazard

Use nonflammable cleaner.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
