Anleitung Zusammenfassung
6 • If the dryer drum becomes stained from noncolorfast fabrics, clean the drum with a damp cloth and a mild liquid household cleanser. Remove cleanser residue before drying the next load. • Every 18 months an authorized servicer should clean the dryer cabinet interior 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 cabinet with mild soap and water. Never use harsh, gritty or abrasive cleansers. • If the cabinet becomes stained, clean with diluted chlorine bleach [1/2 cup (120 ml) in 1 quart (.95 liter) 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. • Before moving the dryer, place a strip of cardboard or thin fiberboard under the front leveling legs to prevent damage to floor. PROBLEM • Add a few bath towels to small loads for proper tumbling. • Some "silk-like" fabrics should be air dried. • Use proper drying temperature. • Place fabric softener sheet on top of load before starting the dryer. • Do not overload dryer. • Use fabric softener in washer or dryer to reduce static electricity. • Remove items when they are slightly damp to avoid overdrying. • Check that lint screen is clean and in place. • Use fabric softener to lubricate fibers. • When ironing, use spray starch or fabric finish on collars and cuffs. • Turn items inside out to reduce abrasion. • Follow fabric care label directions. • If shrinking is a concern, check load often. • Remove items while slightly damp and hang or lay flat to complete drying. • Block knits into shape. • Do not overload dryer. • Remove items as soon as cycle ends. PREVENTIVE MEASURES Many drying problems involve poor cleaning results, poor soil and stain removal, residues of lint and scum, and fabric damage. For satisfactory drying results, follow these suggestions provided by The Soap and Detergent Association. Common Drying Problems Greasy, oily stains Lint Pilling (Fibers break off, ball up and cling to fabric.) Shrinking Wrinkling POSSIBLE CAUSES • Fabric softener sheet. • Overloading. • Overdrying causes static electricity. • Lint screen not clean when cycle began. • Lint is attached to "pills." • Pilling is normal with synthetic and permanent press fabrics. This is due to abrasion from normal wear. • Overdrying. • Overloading. • Leaving items in dryer after cycle ends. SOLUTIONS • Rub fabric softener stains with bar soap. Rinse and rewash. • Reduce load size and rewash using liquid fabric softener in the final rinse. • Or, add a fabric softener sheet and tumble without heat. • Use lint brush or roller to remove lint. • Use a lint brush or shaver to remove pills. • Irreversible condition. • Reduce load size and tumble at medium or low heat for 5-10 minutes. • Remove items immediately. Hang or fold. Do not store or place laundry products on top of dryer at any time. They can damage the finish or controls. Care and Cleaning Con't Avoid Service Checklist Before calling for service, review this list. It may save both time and expense. The list includes common occurrences that are not the result of defective workmanship or materials in this dryer. OCCURRENCE POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION Dryer does not start. Electrical power cord is not securely plugged in or plug may be loose. Make sure the plug fits tightly in wall outlet. House fuse blown or circuit breaker tripped. Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse. Make sure electrical line is not overloaded and the dryer is on a separate circuit. Thermal limiter tripped. Call authorized service person for replacement. Dryer runs but won't heat. There are 2 house fuses in the dryer circuit. If 1 of the 2 fuses is blown, the drum may turn but the heater will not operate. Replace fuse. Gas supply valve is not open (gas models). Check to make sure supply valve is open. See INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS for procedure. Dryer does not have anough air supply to support the burner flame (gas models). See INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. LP gas supply tank is empty or there has been a utility interruption of natural gas (gas models). Refill or replace tank. Dryer should heat when utility service is restored. Drying cycle takes too long, outside of the dryer feels too hot or smells hot. Lint screen is clogged with lint. Exhaust duct requirements have not been met. Make sure all lint has been removed from the dryer lint screen before starting each cycle. Exhaust duct must be at least 4 inches in diameter and made of rigid or flexible metal. When in place, the duct must have no more than two 90° bends and must not exceed length listed in INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. Electric dryer is connected to a 208 volt circuit. Drying time will be 20% longer than drying on a 240 volt circuit. Drying procedures have not been followed. See Drying Procedures. Outside exhaust hood or exhaus...
