LAUNDRY CENTER CARE
Keep laundry center area clear andfree 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 orsponge 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 arefound.
When replacing your inlet hoses, mark the date of replacement
on the label with a permanent marker.

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.
