CLEANING THE LINT SCREEN
Every load cleaning
A screen blocked by lint can increase drying time.
The lint screen is located inside the dryer on the back wall.
To clean:
1. Pull out the lint screen and its cover. Separate the cover
and the screen by squeezing the screen and pulling on
the cover at the same time. Roll lint off the screen with
your ngers.
Do not rinse or wash the screen to remove lint. Wet lint
is hard to remove.
2. Put the lint screen and its cover back together and push
rmly back into place.
IMPORTANT:
n
Do not run the dryer with the lint screen loose,
damaged, blocked, or missing. Doing so can cause
overheating and damage to both the dryer and fabrics.
n
If lint falls off the screen into the dryer during removal,
check the exhaust hood and remove the lint. See
“Venting Requirements” in the Installation Instructions.
As needed cleaning
Laundry detergent and fabric softener residue can build
up on the lint screen. This buildup can cause longer drying
times for your clothes, or cause the dryer to stop before
your load is completely dry. The screen is probably clogged
if lint falls off while the screen is in the dryer.
Clean the lint screen with a nylon brush every 6 months,
or more frequently, if it becomes clogged due to a residue
buildup.
To wash:
1. Roll lint off the screen with your ngers.
2. Wet both sides of lint screen with hot water.
3. Wet a nylon brush with hot water and liquid detergent.
Scrub lint screen with the brush to remove residue
buildup.
4. Rinse screen with hot water.
5. Thoroughly dry lint screen with a clean towel.
Reinstall screen in dryer.
CHANGING THE DRUM LIGHT (on some models)
1. Unplug dryer or disconnect power.
2. Open the dryer door. Locate the light bulb cover on the
back wall of the dryer. Using a Phillips-head screwdriver,
remove the screw located in the lower right-hand corner
of the cover. Remove the cover.
3. Turn bulb counterclockwise. Replace the bulb with
a 10-watt appliance bulb only. Replace the cover and
secure with the screw.
4. Plug into a grounded outlet or reconnect power.
