DRYER CARE

Cleaning the Dryer Location

Keep dryer area clear and free from items that would obstruct the
flow of combustion and ventilation air.

Cleaning the Lint Screen

Clean the lint screen before each load. A screen blocked by lint
can increase drying time.

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.

If lint falls off the screen into the dryer during removal, check
the exhaust hood and remove the lint.

Every load cleaning

1. The lint screen is located on the top of the dryer. Pull the lint

screen toward 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.

As needed cleaning

1. Roll lint off screen with your fingers.

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. Insert lint

screen back into dryer.
