CLEANING THE LINT SCREEN
Remove Lint Before Every Load
The lint screen is located in the door
opening. Remove lint before starting
every load. A screen blocked by lint can
increase drying time.
To clean:
STEP 1. PuII the Iint screen straight up.
Wash Lint Screen As Needed
Laundry detergents and fabric soft-
eners can cause a residue buildup on
the lint screen. Wash the Iint screen
with a nylon brush ifit becomes
clogged due to a residue buildup.
To wash:
STEP f. Wet both sides of lintscreen
with hot water.
STEP 2. Wet a nylon brush with hot
water and liquid detergent; scrub lint
screen with the brush to remove
residue buildup.
STEP 2. Roll lint off the screen with your
fingers. Do not rinse or wash screen to
remove tint. Wet lint is hard to remove.
STEP 3. Push the lint screen firmly back
into place.
IMPORTANT:
• 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.
• Some towels made of synthetic fibers
and natural fibers (polyester and cotton
blends) may shed more lint than other
towels, causing your dryer's lint screen
to fill up faster. Be sure to remove tint
from the lint screen before and after
drying new towels.
• If lint falls off the screen during removai
and into the dryer, periodically check the
exhaust hood and remove the accumu-
lated lint (see "Connect Exhaust").
STEP 3. Rinse screen with hot water.
STEP 4. Thoroughly dry tint screen
with a clean towel; replace in dryer.
CHECKING FOR
OBSTRUCTED AIRFLOW
From time to time, you may find it helpful
to check your dryer and exhaust system
for proper airflow. Poor airflow can result
in longer drying times.
To check for obstructed airflow:
STEP f. Check to ensure nothing
is blocking ventilation slots on dryer
rear panel.
STEP 2. inspect exhaust hood. It should
not be blocked or obstructed.
