WARNING
Cleaning the Dryer Interior
Explosion Hazard Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from dryer. Place dryer at least 18 inches (46 cm) above the floor for a garage installation. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
1. Apply a nonflammable household cleaner to the stained area of the drum and rub with a soft cloth until stain is removed. 2. Wipe drum thoroughly with a damp cloth. 3. Tumble a load of clean cloths or towels to dry the 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.
Cleaning the Lint Screen
Clean the lint screen before each load. A screen blocked by lint can increase drying time. IMPORTANT:
