Care & Cleaning
Control Panel
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive
substances.
The control panel finish could be damaged by some
laundry pre-treatment soil and stain-remover products.
Apply such products away from the dryer and wipe up
any spills or overspray immediately.
Dryer Exterior
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive
substances. Protect the surface from sharp objects.
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.
Stainless Steel
To clean the stainless steel tumbler, use a damp cloth
with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner suitable for stainless
steel surfaces. Remove the cleaner residue and then
dry with a clean cloth.
LAUNDERING TIPS
• Dry only one blanket at a time for best tumbling action.
• Be sure the item is thoroughly dry before using or storing.
• Use the Wrinkle Control cycle to help minimize wrinkling.
• Dry in small loads for best results and remove as soon as possible.
• Use the Normal/Auto Dry cycle for soft, fluffy diapers.
• Use the Normal/Auto Dry cycle and a delicate temperature setting.
• Place a clean pair of sneakers in the dryer with the item to fluff the down comforters, etc.
Adding a couple of dry towels shortens dry time and absorbs moisture.
