out.

2. Roll lint off the screen with your fingers. Do

not rinse or wash the screen to remove lint.

Wet lint is hard to remove.

3. Push the lint screen firmly back into place

Product and Fabric Damage Hazard

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.

Maintenance-as needed

Use the following suggestions about cleaning

and lint removal to help you keep your dryer

safe, looking like new, and at peak operating

efficiency.

Laundry detergents and fabric softeners can

cause a residue build-up on the lint screen. A

clogged lint screen can extend drying times.

Clean the lint screen every six months or more

frequently if it becomes clogged due to a

residue build-up. Use the following method:

1. Wet both sides of lint screen with hot water.

2. Wet a nylon brush with hot water and liquid

detergent.

3. Scrub lint screen with the brush until all

residue build-up is removed.

4. Rinse with hot water.

5. Thoroughly

dry lint screen with a clean

towel and replace in dryer.
