DRYER MAINTENANCE AND CARE

Cleaning the Dryer Location

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from dryer.

Do not dry anything that has ever had anything flammable on it (even after washing).

Place dryer at least 18 inches (460 mm) above the floor for a garage installation.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

Keep dryer area clear and free from items that would block the airflow for proper dryer operation. This includes clearing piles of laundry in front of the dryer.

Cleaning the Dryer Interior

To clean dryer drum:

1. Use either a mild dish detergent mixed at low concentration of a nonflammable cleaner and very warm water. Rub with a s cloth.

■ Rinse well with a wet sponge or towel.
■ Tumble a load of clean clothes or towels to dry drum.

1. Use a microfiber cloth and very warm water in a spray bottle clean the drum and a second microfiber towel to dry.

NOTE: Garments that contain unstable dyes, such as denim blue jeans or brightly colored cotton items, may discolor the rear of t

dryer interior. These stains are not harmful to your dryer and w not stain future loads of clothes. Dry unstable dye items inside to avoid transfer of dye.

Removing Accumulated Lint

From inside the dryer cabinet:

Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often, depending on dryer usage. Cleaning should be done by a qualified appliance service or ventilation system cleaner.

From the exhaust vent:

Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often, depending on dryer usage.

Cleaning the Lint Screen

Every load cleaning:

The lint screen may be located either in the door opening or the top of the dryer depending on model. A screen blocked by lint can increase drying time.

To clean:

1. Remove the lint screen. If necessary, press the tab to release and open the lint screen. Roll lint off the screen with your fingers. Do not rinse or wash screen to remove lint. Wet lint is hard to remove.

1. Push the lint screen firmly back into place.

IMPORTANT:

■ Do not run the dryer with the lint screen loose, damaged, blocked, or missing. Doing so can cause overheating and damage to both the dryer and fabrics.
If lint falls off the screen into the dryer during removal, check the exhaust hood and remove the lint. See "Venting Requirements" in the Installation Instructions.
■ Clean space where lint screen is located, as needed. Using a vacuum, gently remove any lint that has accumulated outside of the lint screen.

As-needed cleaning:

Laundry detergent and fabric softener residue can build up on the lint screen. This buildup can cause longer drying times for your clothes, or cause the dryer to stop before your load is completely

dry. The screen is probably clogged if lint falls off while the screen is in the dryer. Clean the lint screen with a nylon brush every

6 months, or more frequently, if it becomes clogged due to a residue buildup.

To wash:

1. Roll lint off the screen with your fingers.
2. Wet both sides of lint screen with hot water.
3. Wet a nylon brush with hot water and liquid detergent. Scrub lint screen with the brush to remove residue buildup.

Check Your Vent System for Good Airflow

WARNING

Fire Hazard

Use a heavy metal vent.

Do not use a plastic vent.

Do not use a metal foil vent.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or fire.

Good Airflow

Along with heat, dryers require good airflow to efficiently dry laundry. Proper venting will reduce your drying times and improve your energy savings. See Installation Instructions.

The venting system attached to the dryer plays a big role in good airflow. Blocked or crushed vents as well as improper venting installation will reduce air flow and dryer performance.

Service calls caused by improper venting are not covered by the warranty and will be paid by the customer, regardless of who installed the dryer. To clean or repair venting, contact a venting specialist.

Maintain Good Airflow

■ Cleaning your lint screen before each load.
■ Replace plastic or foil vent material with 4" (102 mm) diameter heavy, rigid vent material.
■ Use the shortest length of vent possible.

■ Use no more than four 90° elbows in a vent system; each bend and curve reduces airflow.

Good Better

■ Remove lint and debris from the exhaust hood.
■ Remove lint from the entire length of the vent system at least every 2 years. When cleaning is complete, be sure to follow the Installation Instructions for final product check.
■ Clear away items from the front of the dryer.

Nonuse, Storage, and Moving Care Nonuse or Storage Care

4" (102 mm)

■ Only a 4" (102 mm) heavy metal exhaust vent and clamps be used.
■ Do not use plastic or metal foil vent.

Rigid metal vent:

■ Recommended for best drying performance and to avoid crushing and kinking.

Flexible metal vent (acceptable only if accessible to clean):

■ Must be fully extended and supported in final dryer location.
■ Remove excess to avoid sagging and kinking that may result in reduced airflow and poor performance.
■ Do not install in enclosed walls, ceilings, or floors.
■ The total length should not exceed 14 ft (2.4 m).
■ The length of flexible metal vent used must be included in the overall vent system design as shown in the "Vent System Chart."

Home Venting System:

■ If using an existing home vent system, clean lint from the entire length of the system before installing the dryer.
■ Make sure external exhaust hoods outside of the home is not plugged with lint or other outside debris.
- Replace plastic or metal foil vents with rigid metal or flexible metal vents. Review "Vent System Chart" and, if necessary, modify existing home vent system to achieve best drying performance.

Exhaust hoods:

■ An exhaust hood should cap the vent to keep rodents and insects from entering the home.
■ Must be at least 12" (305 mm) from ground or any object that may obstruct exhaust (such as flowers, rocks, bushes, or snow).
■ Do not use an exhaust hood with a magnetic latch.

Recommended Styles: Acceptable Style:
