20 Care & Cleaning

WARNING

To reduce risk of fire or serious injury to

persons or property, comply with the ba-

sic warnings listed in the Important Safe-

ty Instructions and those listed below.

Cleaning the Filter

WARNING

Clean the lint filter after every load.

CLEAN LINT will be displayed at the

end of the cycle to remind you to re-

move lint from the filter.

Clean the lint filter after every load. Lint

build-up on the filter restricts air flow, which

causes longer drying times. The filter is

located at the bottom of the door opening.

Cleaning the LuxCare

1. Remove the filter by pulling it straight up

from the dryer.

2. Press down the center tab on the top

of the filter to open the clamshell.

3. Gently clean the lint from the filter.

4. Snap the filter closed and place back

into the dryer.

Lint Shield

IMPORTANT

• DO NOT open the clamshell filter

beyond the hinge limit.

• ALWAYS handle the clamshell filter by

the frame, not by the mesh material.

Inside

• Occasionally a waxy build-up may form

on the lint filter 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 filter thoroughly and replace. DO

NOT operate the dryer without the lint

filter in place.

• If the dryer drum becomes stained from

non colorfast fabrics, clean the drum

with a damp cloth and a mild liquid

household cleanser. Remove cleanser

residue before drying the next load.

• Before cleaning the dryer drum interior,

unplug the electrical power cord to avoid

electrical shock hazards.

• DO NOT use any type spray cleanser

when cleaning the dryer interior. Hazard-

ous fumes or electrical shock could occur.

• Every 18 months a qualified service pro-

fessional should clean the dryer cabinet

interior, lint screen housing and exhaust

duct. These areas can collect lint and

dust over time. An excessive amount

of lint build-up could result in inefficient

drying and possible fire hazard.

Outside

• Clean the dryer cabinet with mild soap

and water. Never use harsh, gritty or

abrasive cleansers.

• If the cabinet becomes stained, clean

with diluted chlorine bleach (1 part

bleach to 8 parts water). Rinse several

times with clear water.

• Remove glue residue from tape or labels

with a mixture of warm water and mild

detergent. Or, touch residue with the

sticky side of the tape or label.
