Cleaning the Dryer Location
Keep dryer area clear and free from items that would block the air
ow for proper dryer operation.
Cleaning the Lint Screen
Every Load Cleaning
The lint screen is located in the door opening of the dryer. A screen
blocked by lint can increase drying time.
To clean
1. Pull the lint screen straight up. Roll lint off the screen with your
ngers. Do not rinse or wash screen to remove lint. Wet lint is
hard to remove.
2. Push the lint screen rmly back into place.
IMPORTANT:
Do not run the dryer if the lint screen is loose, damaged, ■
blocked, or missing. Doing so can cause overheating and
damage to both the dryer and fabrics.
If lint falls off the screen into the dryer during removal, ■
check the exhaust hood and remove the lint. See “Venting
Requirements.”
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.
Clean the lint screen with a nylon brush every 6 months, or more
frequently, if it becomes clogged due to a residue buildup.
DRYER CARE
To wash
1. Roll lint off the screen with your ngers.
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
