CARING FOR YOUR DRYER

CLEANING THE DRYER INTERIOR

Garments which contain unstable dyes, such as denim blue jeans or brightly colored cotton items, may discolor the dryer interior. These stains are not harmful to your dryer and will not stain future loads of clothes. It is helpful to dry unstable dye items inside out to prevent dye transfer.

NOTE: Even after cleaning, these stains may reap- pear when similar loads are dried.

1.Make a paste with powdered laundry detergent and very warm water.

2.Apply paste to a soft cloth.

OR

to the stained area and rub with a soft cloth until all excess dye is removed.
