Hold your hand under the outside exhaust hood to check air movement. If you do not feel air movement, clean exhaust system of lint or replace exhaust vent with heavy metal or flexible metal vent. See your Installation Instructions. Is the exhaust vent crushed or kinked? Replace with heavy metal or flexible metal vent. See your Installation Instructions. Has a fuse blown, or a circuit breaker tripped? Has an air cycle been selected? Select the right cycle for the types of garments being dried. See �Drying, Cycle and Temperature Tips.� Is the valve open on the gas supply line? Are fabric softener sheets blocking the grille? Use only one fabric softener sheet, and use it only once.

Explosion Hazard Use nonflammable cleaner. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
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. NOTE: 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. Dry unstable dye items inside out to prevent dye transfer.
