Dryer Interior
Unstable dyes used in many denim blue jeans or brightly colored cotton garments may cause some discoloration of the interior surfaces. This slight color change will do no harm to other clothes.
Should you wish to return the interior surfaces to their original whiteness follow the directions below.
The dryer may be cleaned by one of the following methods:
•Wipe the surfaces using a soft cloth and a non- abrasive paste of powdered laundry detergent and hot water followed by a short heat cycle with a load of rags, or
•Apply a liquid spray household cleaner to a soft cloth, wipe the discolored area and follow with a short heat cycle with a load of rags.
To remove crayon or ball point ink off the dryer drum, put the heat on high and use old rags in the dryer to absorb the crayon or ink. If unsuccessful, contact the appliance dealer. DO NOT use any chemicals in the dryer.
IMPORTANT: The use of chlorine bleach for removing any discolorations should be avoided because bleach could damage the finish.
Cabinet
Wipe dryer cabinet as needed. If detergent, bleach or other washing products have been spilled on the dryer top, wipe immediately. Some products will cause permanent damage if spilled on the cabinet.
Do not lay sharp or rough objects on or against the dryer. The finish could be damaged.
Control Panel
Use only a damp or sudsy cloth for cleaning the control panel. Some spray prewash products may harm the finish on the control panel.
Exhaust System
•Keep dryer area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids. Do not obstruct the flow of ventilation air.
•The exhaust duct should be inspected after one year of use and cleaned if necessary. Inspect and clean exhaust duct every one to two years as required thereafter.
•Vent hood should be checked and cleaned regularly to assure that it is working properly.
NOTE: Verify proper operation after servicing.
Motor Overload Protector . . .
The dryer’s motor overload protector stops the motor automatically in the event of an overload. After cooling, the overload protector will reset itself. Dryer
can be restarted by pushing the timer knob in. If overload protector cycles again, remove the dryer from use and call the service person to correct the problem.
