CaringForYourDryer

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.

Cleaning the lint screen

The lint screen is located under a lid

on top of the dryer. Clean it before

each load. A screen blocked by lint

can increase drying time.

1. Open the lid and pull the lint screen

straight 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 and close the lid.

Lint screen maintenance

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 re-

moved.

4. Rinse with hot water.

5. Thoroughly dry lint screen with a

clean towel and replace in dryer.
