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 top of the dryer. Pull the lint
screen toward you. Roll lint off the screen with your fingers.

remove.

Push the lint screen firmly back into place.

Cleaning the Dryer Interior

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 which 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
prevent dye transfer.
