Jeaning Dryer Interior
^WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Turn off electrical power or
disconnect dryer from power supply
before cleaning the interior.
Failure to do so may result in
electrical shock or serious injury.
Clothes, such as denim blue jeans or
brightly colored cotton fabrics, that
contain unstable dyes may discolor
the dryer drum. If the drum is
discolored, clean it by one of the
following methods to avoid possible
stain transfer in later loads.
' Use powdered laundry detergent
and hot water.
Make a paste with the detergent and
hot water. Apply paste to a soft cloth
and scrub the discolored area until
excess dye is removed. Wipe
thoroughly with a damp cloth. Run the
dryer through a timed heated cycle for
20 minutes with a load of rags.
’ Use liquid spray household cleaner.
Spray cleaner on the stained area. Rub
with a cloth until excess dye is
removed. Run the dryer through a
timed heated cycle for 20 minutes with
a load of rags.
If It Seems That The Dryer Is Taking
Longer To Dry, It May Be Because:
' Unt screen is filled.
' Exhaust system is too long or has a lint
build-up.
Clothes rinsed in cold water need a
longer time to dry.
' Dryer is overloaded.
' Dryer is installed in a cold area.
■ Today’s new fabrics demand lower heat
settings.
' Dryer should not be operated in room
areas where temperature is below
45°F (7.2°C).
