Care & Cleaning

Control Panel

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive sub-
stances.

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.

Cabinet

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

Dryer Exhaust System

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