concealed space of a building.
DO NOT install a screen in or over the exhaust duct.
DO NOT install a booster fan in the exhaust duct.

Care and Cleaning - Dryer
The Exterior:
Wipe or dust any spills or washing
compounds with a damp cloth. Dryer control panel and
finishes may be damaged by some laundry pretreatment
soil and stain remover products. Apply these products
away from the dryer. The fabric may then be washed and
dried normally. Damage to your dryer caused by these
products is not covered by your warranty.
The Lint Filter:
Clean the lint filter before each use.
Slide out the grid that covers the filter. Run your fingers
across the filter. A waxy buildup may form on the lint filter
from using dryer-added fabric softener sheets. To remove
this buildup, wash the lint screen in warm, soapy water. Dry
thoroughly and replace. Do not operate the dryer without
the lint filter and grid in place. Have a qualified technician
vacuum the lint from the dryer once a year.
