indicates moisture has been removed.

FEATURES
[[1 Lint Screen
Keep the lint screen clean. A lint-clogged screen will slow down the flow
of air. This makes drying time longer and wastes energy. Clean the lint
screen before each load as follows:
1. With dryer off, remove the screen by pulling straight up.
2. Roll the dry lint off the screen. Do not wet the screen or lint; wet lint is
hard to remove.
3. Replace the cleaned lint screen.
Fire Hazard.
Do not use your dryerwhile the lint screen is removed.
It could cause overheating and possible damage to fabrics and dryer
parts or create a fire hazard. Lint screen must be pushed firmly into
place.
NOTE: If lint screen gets clogged by detergent orfabric softener build-up,
remove and clean it with a nylon brush, hot water and liquid detergent.
Dry and replace screen.
Safety Door Switch
For safety, the switch shutsoff dryer when door is opened. Dryer will not
start until door is closed and START is pushed. Be sure the Cycle Selector
Control is on a dry setting.
