LAUNDRY CENTER CARE

Keep laundry center area clear and free from items that would obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.

Explosion Hazard

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from dryer.

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

Cleaning the exterior

Use a soft, damp cloth or sponge to wipe up any spills such as detergent or bleach. Occasionally wipe the outside of your washer to keep it looking new.

Cleaning the interior

Clean your washer interior by mixing 1 cup (250 mL) of chlorine bleach and 2 scoops or caps full of detergent. Pour this into your washer and run it through a complete cycle using hot water. Repeat this process if necessary.

NOTE: Remove any hard water deposits using only cleaners labeled as washer safe.

Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the risk of hose failure. Periodically inspect and replace inlet hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts, wear or leaks are found.

When replacing your inlet hoses, mark the date of replacement on the label with a permanent marker.

Every load cleaning

The lint screen is located on the back wall of the dryer. Remove lint before each load. A screen blocked by lint can increase drying time.

To clean

1.Pull out the lint screen and its cover.

2.Separate the cover and the screen by squeezing the screen and pulling on the cover at the same time.

3.Roll lint off the screen with your fingers. Do not rinse or wash screen to remove lint. Wet lint is hard to remove.

4.Put the lint screen and cover back together and push firmly back into place.

IMPORTANT:

•Do not run the dryer with the lint screen loose, damaged, blocked, or missing. Doing so can cause overheating and damage to both the dryer and fabrics.

•If lint falls off the screen into the dryer during removal, check the exhaust hood and remove lint. See "Venting Requirements."
