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.
To clean dryer drum:
1. Make a paste with powdered laundry
detergent and very warm water.
2. Apply paste to a soft cloth.
OR
Apply a liquid, non-flammable household
cleaner to the stained area
and rub with a soft cloth until
all excess dye is removed.
3. Wipe drum thoroughly with a damp cloth.
4. Tumble a load of clean cloths or towels to
dry drum.
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use nonflammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death,
explosion, or fire.
Removing accumulated lint from inside
the dryer cabinet
Lint should be removed every two to
three years, or more often, depending on
dryer usage. Cleaning should be done by
a qualified person.
