Dryer Care

CLEANING THE DRYER LOCATION

Keep dryer area clear and free from items that would

block the air flow for proper dryer operation. This

includes clearing piles of laundry in front of the dryer.

CLEANING THE DRYER INTERIOR

To clean dryer drum
1.
Use a mild hand dish detergent mixed at a low

concentration with very warm water, and rub with

a soft cloth.

2. Rinse well with a wet sponge or towel.
3. Tumble a load of clean clothes or towels to dry drum
OR
Use a microfiber cloth and hot water in a spray bottle

to clean the drum and a second microfiber towel to dry.

NOTE: Garments that contain unstable dyes, such as denim

blue jeans or brightly colored cotton items, may discolor the

rear of 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.

REMOVING ACCUMULATED LINT

From inside the dryer cabinet
Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often,

depending on dryer usage. Cleaning should be done

by a qualified appliance servicer.
From the Exhaust Vent
Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often,

depending on dryer usage.

CLEANING THE LINT SCREEN

Every load cleaning
The lint screen is located in the door opening of the dryer.

The control panel has an indicator light to remind you to

clean the lint screen after each load. A screen blocked

by lint will increase drying time.
To clean:
1.
Pull the lint screen straight up. 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.
IMPORTANT:
n

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.

n

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. The screen is probably clogged if lint falls

off while the screen is in the dryer.
Clean the lint screen with a nylon brush every 6 months,

or more frequently, if it becomes clogged due to a residue

buildup.
To wash:
1.
Roll lint off the 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.

Reinstall screen in dryer.
