WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury
to persons when using this appliance, follow basic
precautions, including the following:
• Unplug the dryer before cleaning to avoid
the risk of electric shock. Failure to follow
this warning may cause serious injury, fire,
electric shock, or death.
• Never use harsh chemicals, abrasive
cleaners, or solvents to clean the washer.
They will damage the finish.
Cleaning the Exterior
Proper care of your dryer can extend its life. The
outside of the machine can be cleaned with warm
water and a mild, nonabrasive household detergent.
Immediately wipe off any spills with a soft, damp cloth.

similar products.

performance occurs, immediately check ductwork for
obstructions and blockages.
Maintaining Ductwork
