Care & Cleaning

Control Panel

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive substances.

Cabinet

Wipe off any marks with soap and water. Use an appliance wax once a year if desired.

Tumbler

Remove any stains such as crayon, ink pen or fabric dye from new items (such as towels or jeans) with an all-purpose cleaner. Then tumble old towels or rags to remove any excess stain or cleaning substance. Once these steps are done, stains may still be visible, but should not transfer to subsequent loads.

Dryer Exhaust System

Inspect and clean once a year to maintain optimum performance. The outside exhaust hood should be cleaned more frequently to ensure proper operation. (Refer to the Installation Instructions for more information.)
