CARING FOR YOUR DRYER

LINT SIGNAL

On some models, there may be a lint signal

(a whistle tone) which indicates exces- sive 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.

REMOVING ACCUMULATED LINT FROM INSIDE THE DRYER CABINET

Lint can gather inside the dryer and be a fuel

for fire. Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often, depending on dryer usage. Cleaning should be done by a qualified person.
