change will do no harm to other clothes.
Should you wish to return the interior surfaces to their
original whiteness follow the directions below.
The dryer may be cleaned by one of the following
methods:
• Wipe the surfaces using a soft cloth and a non-
abrasive paste of powdered laundry detergent and
hot water followed by a short heat cycle with a load
of rags, or
• Apply a liquid spray household cleaner to a soft
cloth, wipe the discolored area and follow with a
short heat cycle with a load of rags.
To remove crayon or ball point ink off the dryer drum,
put the heat on high and use old rags in the dryer to
absorb the crayon or ink. If unsuccessful, contact the
appliance dealer. DO NOT use any chemicals in the
dryer.
