If you spill liquid/powdered softener, bleach or detergent on the cabinet, wipe
the cabinet immediately to avoid damage to the nish.
Do not use abrasive cleansers, harsh chemicals, ammonia, chlorine bleach,
concentrated detergent, or solvents to clean the dryer. These chemicals may
dissolve, damage, or discolor the dryer.

Hazardous fumes or electric shock could occur. If dryer drum becomes stained,
clean the drum with a damp cloth. Remove any residue before drying next load.

This buildup can cause longer drying times, or cause the dryer to stop before
your load is completely dry.

residue buildup.
