Asneededcleaning
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 fails 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 screen with your fingers.
2. Wet both sides of lintscreen 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. Insert lint
screen back into dryer.
