Care and Cleaning of the Drger
Drger Interior and Duct: The interior of
the appliance and exhaust duct should be
cleaned once a gear bg qualified service
personnel.
The Exterior: Wipe or dust ang spills or
washing compounds with a damp cloth.
Drger control panel and finishes mag be
damaged bg some laundrg pretreatment
soil and stain remover products. Applg
these products awag from the drgen The

bg these products is not covered bg gour
warrantg.
Do not touch the surface or the displag
with sharp objects.
The Lint Filter: Clean the lint filter before
each use. Remove bg pulling straight up.
Run gour fingers across the filter. A waxg
buildup mag form on the lint filter from
using drger-added fabric softener sheets.

Stainless Steel: To clean stainless steel
surfaces, use a damp cloth with a mild,
nonabrasive cleaner suitable for stainless
steel surfaces. Remove the cleaner
residue, and then drg with a clean cloth.
The stainless steel used to make
the drger drum provides the highest
reliabilitg available in a GEdrger. If
the drger drum should be scratched or
dented during normal use, the drum
will not rust or corrode. These surface
blemishes will not affect the function
or durabilitg of the drum.
The Exhaust Hood: Checkwith a mirror
that the inside flaps of the hood move
