Cleaning the Exterior
Proper care of your appliance can extend its life.
The outside of the appliance can be cleaned with
warm water and a mild, nonabrasive household
detergent. Immediately wipe off any spills with a
soft, damp cloth.
NOTE
• Do not use methylated spirits, solvents, or
similar products.
• Never use steel wool or abrasive cleansers; they
can damage the surface.
Cleaning the Interior
• Wipe around the door opening and seal with a
soft, damp cloth to prevent lint and dust buildup
that could damage the door seal.
• Clean the window with a soft cloth dampened
with warm water and a mild, nonabrasive
household detergent. Then wipe dry.
• The stainless steel drum can be cleaned with a
conventional stainless steel cleaner, used
according to the manufacturer’s specifications.
Never use steel wool or abrasive cleansers; they
may scratch or damage the surface.
Cleaning Around and Under the
Appliance
Vacuum lint and dust from around the dryer and
underneath it regularly.
Maintaining Ductwork
Vent ductwork should be checked for lint build up
once per month and cleaned at least once per
year. If any noticeable reduction in airflow or
drying performance occurs, immediately check
ductwork for obstructions and blockages and
contact a qualified technician or service provider.
Cleaning the Lint Filter
Always clean the lint from the filter after every
cycle.
a Lint Filter
To clean the lint filter, open the dryer door and pull
the lint filter straight up. Then:
1 For everyday cleaning, roll any lint off the
filter with your fingers, or
2 Vacuum the lint filter.
3 If the lint filter has become very dirty or
clogged with fabric softener, wash the lint
filter in warm, soapy water and allow it to dry
thoroughly before reinstalling.
