REGULAR CLEANING

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of re, electric shock, or injury to persons, read this entire manual,

including the Important Safety Instructions, before operating this dryer.

• Unplug the dryer or turn the power o before cleaning to avoid the risk of electric shock. Failure to follow this

warning can cause serious injury, re, electrical shock, or death.

• Never use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents to clean the dryer. They will damage the nish.

CleaningtheLintFilter

ALWAYS make sure the lint lter is clean before every

cycle. The Check Lint Filter Light on the control panel

will blink before every cycle to remind you.

NOTE: NEVER operate the dryer without the lint lter.

Toremovelintbetweencycles:

Open the dryer door.

Pull the lint lter straight up.

Roll any lint o the lter with your ngers.

Insert lint lter back into dryer.

Periodicthoroughcleaning:

Some fabric softeners can build up on the lint lter over

time. This buildup can restrict the airow through the

lter reducing dryer eciency and lengthening drying

times. After removing lint, if the lter looks dark or dirty

when held up to the light, follow these steps to clean:

Use hot soapy water and a sti brush to clean

the lter.

Make sure the lter is completely dry before

reinstalling it and using the dryer.

NOTE: NEVER operate the dryer with a wet lint lter.
