If discolored, clean the interior with one of the following methods to avoid staining later load items. 1. Powdered laundry detergent and very warm water. Make a paste with detergent and water. Apply paste to a soft cloth and scrub area until all excess dye is removed. Wipe thoroughly with a damp cloth. Tumble a load of rags to eliminate any remaining detergent; OR 2. Liquid household cleaner. Apply to stained area and rub with a soft cloth until all excess dye is removed. Tumble a load of rags to eliminate remaining cleaner. Vacation Care • Unplug power cord or turn off electrical power at the circuit breaker or fuse box. • For gas dryers, close gas valve. • Clean lint screen. 15 Common Drying Problems and Causes Problem Cause Brown Stains (rust) • dryer fabric softener • storing wet or damp clothes in dryer (rusting) Greasy-Looking Spots • dryer fabric softener (see page 7 for correct use.) • undiluted washer fabric softener • drying soiled items Lint • load not sorted correctly • overloading • overdrying • full lint screen • mistaken "pilling" for lint The rubbing that fabrics receive during normal wear and washing raises a surface fuzz called "pilling." Pills do not break away easily from the fabric, and often collect lint. Use a lint roller, brush or cellophane tape to remove lint from pilled area. Synthetics and blends tend to pill more than other fabrics. Turn them inside out during laundering. • paper or tissue in pockets Shrinking • overdrying • fabric type Slow Drying • load not sorted correctly • load type may require longer drying times • air movement slowed • dryer located in cold area • modern dryers are designed to use lower drying temperatures • if wash load ended with a cool rinse, drying time will be slightly longer • low spin speed • large items rolled or balled • load too large • low voltage • vent too long (See Installation Instructions.) Static Electricity • overdrying • fabric type (Some synthetics will normally produce static electricity. Use dryer fabric softener, see page 7.) Stiff, Harsh Fabrics • wash load was off-balance and fabrics are very wet • line drying Wrinkling • using incorrect cycle selection • overdrying • not removing clothes immediately after dryer stops tumbling • poor quality permanent press finish on fabrics 16 Drying Tips 1. If air movement is slowed down, drying times will be longer. • A clogged lint screen will increase drying time. CLEAN LINT SCREEN BEFORE EACH LOAD. If this is your first automatic dryer, you may notice a lot of lint on the lint screen. After the first few weeks of use, this surface lint from your clothes will be gone and lint on the screen will decrease. • A clogged, incorrectly installed or long length of exhaust duct will increase drying time. Exhaust duct should be as short and as straight as possible. See Installation Instructions. 2. Drying times will be longer and wrinkles may not be removed if dryer is located in a cold room, such as a garage, unheated basement or porch. Dryers should not be operated in rooms below 45°F. 3. Drying times will be longer when your dryer is exhausted inside. Exhausting your dryer indoors Is not recommended. The moisture and lint may cause: damage to woodwork, furniture, paint, wallpaper and carpet; housedeanlng and possible health problems; and FIRE HAZARD from lint collected inside the dryer. See Installation Instructions for additional information. 4. Loads rinsed in cold water will take slightly longer to dry than loads rinsed in warm water. 5. Large loads take longer to dry than smaller loads of the same fabric. Check to see that large items, such as sheets, are not rolling or balling up. If balling or rolling up occurs, rearrange items. 6. Amount of moisture in load affects drying time. • Large or heavy items such as towels, jeans and bedspreads need longer drying times due to the higher level of water retained in the fabrics. Polyester and synthetics hold much less moisture. • Clothes that were washed with low spin speeds (best for permanent press and knit fabrics) will have retained more moisture than clothes washed with high spin speeds. 7. Loading practices will affect drying times. • Overloading will increase drying time due to restricted air movement, and uneven drying may result. • Uneven drying may also result from loading heavy and light items together. Light items will overdry and heavy items will not be dry. When drying a load with different kinds and weights of fabrics, use the setting suggested for the lightest fabric. • Small loads may ride around the drum without tumbling. Add one or two lint-free towels to help with tumbling. 8. This dryer is designed for the care of modern fabrics. • Drying temperatures are lower than in older models because high heat can damage modern fabrics. • This dryer has a cool down time at the end of drying cycles (see Cushioned Heat™ Drying System and Cool Down Time, page 10). This helps reduce wrinkling, but the to...
