CARING FOR YOUR DRYER
C
LEANING 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
reappear when similar loads are dried.
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.
w WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use nonflammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death,
explosion, or fire.
