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.

Cleaning the Dryer Interior

1. Apply a liquid, nonflammable household cleaner to the

stained area of the drum and rub with a soft cloth until stain is
removed.

2. Wipe drum thoroughly with a damp cloth.

3. Tumble a load of clean cloths or towels to dry the drum.

NOTE: Garments that contain unstable dyes, such as denim blue
jeans or brightly colored cotton items, may discolor the dryer
interior. These stains are not harmful to your dryer and will not
stain future loads of clothes. Dry unstable dye items inside-out to
avoid transfer of dye.
