CARE AND CLEANING
a
b
• Before cleaning the laundry center interior, unplug the
electrical power cord to avoid electrical shock hazards.
• Do not use any type spray cleanser when cleaning the
dryer interior. Hazardous fumes or electrical shock could
occur.
INSIDE DRYER
• Clean the lint fi lter after every load. Lint build-up on
the fi lter restricts air fl ow, which causes longer drying
times. The fi lter is located at the bottom of the door
opening. Remove by pulling straight up. Remove the
lint and replace the fi lter.
• Occasionally a waxy build-up may form on the lint fi lter
and/or moisture sensing bars from using dryer-added
fabric softener sheets. To remove this build-up, wash
them with warm, soapy water. Dry the fi lter thoroughly
and replace. Do not operate the dryer without the lint
fi lter in place.
• If the dryer drum becomes stained from noncolorfast
fabrics, clean the drum with a damp cloth and a mild
liquid household cleanser. Remove cleanser residue
before drying the next load.
• Every 18 months an authorized servicer should clean
the dryer cabinet interior and exhaust duct. These
areas can collect lint and dust over time. An excessive
amount of lint build-up could result in ineffi cient drying
and possible fi re hazard.
INSIDE WASHER
• Remove items from the washer as soon as the cycle
ends. Excess wrinkling, color transfer, and odors may
develop in items left in the washer.
• Dry the washer top, the area around the lid opening,
and the underside of the lid. These areas should always
be dry before the lid is closed.
• Before cleaning the washer interior, unplug the electri-
cal power cord to avoid electrical shock hazards.
• When extremely soiled items have been washed, a dirty
residue may remain on the tub. Remove this by wiping
the tub with a nonabrasive household cleanser. Rinse
thoroughly with water.
• The base plate or tub may become stained from fabric
dye. Clean these parts with a nonabrasive household
cleanser. This prevents dye transfer to future loads.
FABRIC SOFTENER DISPENSER
• Remove the dual chamber insert (a) from the bleach
and fabric softener dispenser by pinching at the cham-
ber divider and lifting upward. Also remove the siphon
cap (b).
• Rinse the insert and cap with a combination of ¾ cup
liquid chlorine bleach and 1 gallon hot tap water to
remove any buildup. Large amounts of fabric softener
residue may indicate improper dilution or more frequent
cleaning is required. Rinse well with tap water.
• For the dispenser well, use a small brush to clean the
recesses. Remove all residue.
• Replace the siphon cap and insert by pressing it in
place until you hear a slight click.
IMPORTANT
Clean the lint fi lter after every load.
