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
Every load cleaning
The lint screen is located in the door opening of the dryer. A screen blocked by lint can
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:
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. 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 the screen.
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.
