Care Of Your Dryer
r AWARNING---------------------------
To reduce the risk of an
electric shock, serious injury
or death, disconnect the
electrical service to the
dryer before cleaning the
interior.
Dryer Interior
(Painted Cylinders Only)
The internal parts of your dryer are
coated with a paint that has been
specifically developed to brighten
their appearance.
Unstable dyes used in many denim
blue jeans or brightly colored
cotton garments may cause some
discoloration of the white surfaces.
This slight color change will do no
harm to other clothes.
Should you wish to return the
interior surfaces to their original
whiteness follow the directions
below.
The dryer may be cleaned by one
of the following methods:
• Wipe the surfaces using a soft
cloth and a non-abrasive paste
of powdered laundry detergent
and hot water followed by a
short heat cycle with a load of
rags, or
• Apply a liquid spray household
cleaner to the discolored area,
wipe with a soft cloth, and follow
with a short heat cycle with a
load of rags.
To remove crayon or ball point ink
off the dryer drum, put the heat on
high and use old rags in the dryer
to absorb the crayon or ink. If
unsuccessful, contact the
appliance dealer. DO NOT use
any chemicals in the dryer.
IMPORTANT: The use of chlorine
bleach for removing any
discolorations should be avoided
because bleach could damage the
finish.
Cabinet
Wipe dryer cabinet as needed. If
detergent, bleach or other washing
products have been spilled on the
dryer top, wipe immediately. Some
products will cause permanent
damage if spilled on the cabinet.
Do not lay sharp or rough objects
on or against the dryer. The finish
could be damaged.
Control Panel
Use only a damp or sudsy cloth for
cleaning the control panel. Some
spray prewash products may harm
the finish on the control panel.
Exhaust Duct.
The exhaust duct should be
inspected after one year of use
and cleaned if necessary. Inspect
and clean exhaust duct every one
to two years as required thereafter.
Vent hood should be checked and
cleaned regularly to assure that it
is working properly.
Motor Overload Protector ...
The dryer’s motor overload
protector stops the motor
automatically in the event of an
overload. After cooling, the
overload protector will reset itself.
Dryer can be restarted by pushing
the timer knob in. If overload
protector cycles again, remove the
dryer from use and call the
serviceman to correct the problem.
