CARINGFORYOUR
DRYER
Cleaning the Lint Screen
Every load cleaning
The lint screen is rotated on the top of the dryer. Clean it
before each load, A screen blocked by lint can increase
drying time,
To clean
1. Pull the lint screen towards you. Roll lint off the screen
with your fingers. Do not rinse or wash screen to
remove lint. Wet lint is hard to remove.
2. 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 lint from the lint screen
before and after drying new towels.
• If lint falls off the screen into the dryer during removal,
check the exhaust hood and remove the lint. (See
"Checking Your Vent".)
As needed cleaning
Laundry detergent and fabric softener residue can buildup
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 lintscreen with a nylon brush every six months
or more frequently if it becomes clogged due to a residue
buildup.
To wash
1. Wet both sides of lint screen with hot water,
2. Wet a nylon brush with hot water and liquid detergent,
Scrub lint screen with the brush to remove residue
buildup.
3, Rinse screen with hot water.
4. Thoroughly dry lint screen with a clean towel. Replace
screen in dryer.
Explosion Hazard
Use nonflammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion,
or fire.
To clean dryer drum:
1. Make a paste with powdered laundry detergent and
very warm water.
2. Apply paste to a soft cloth.
OR
Apply a liquid, non-flammable household cleaner to the
stained area and rub with a soft cloth until all excess dye is
removed.
3. Wipe drum thoroughly with a damp cloth.
4. Tumble a load of clean cloths or towels to dry drum.
NOTE: Garments which contain unstable dyes such as
denim blue jeans or brightly colored cotton items, may
discolor the dryer interior. These stains are not harmful to
your dryer and will not stain future loads of clothes. Dry
unstable dye items inside out to prevent dye transfer.
Removing Accumulated Lint
from Inside the Dryer Cabinet
Lint should be removed every two years, or more often,
depending on dryer usage. Cleaning should be done by a
qualified person.
