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 the screen.
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 fingers.
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. Replace
screen in dryer.
From inside the dryer cabinet
Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often, depending
on dryer usage. Cleaning should be done by a qualified person.
From the Exhaust Vent
Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often, depending
on dryer usage.
Install and store your washer/dryer where it will not freeze.
Because some water may stay in the hoses, freezing can damage
your washer/dryer. If storing or moving your washer/dryer during

be on vacation or not using your washer/dryer for an extended
period of time, you should:
• Unplug washer/dryer or disconnect power.

accidental flooding (due to a water pressure surge) while you
are away.

on a spin setting for about 30 seconds to mix the antifreeze
and water.
