3. Push the lint screen firmly back into place
and close the door.
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.
Some towels made of synthetic fibers and
natural fibers (polyester and cotton blends)
may shed more lint than other towels,
causing your dryer’s lint screen to fill up
faster. Be sure to remove lint from the lint
screen before and after drying new towels.
Proper care of your washer/dryer can extend its life. This section explains how to care for
your washer/dryer properly and safely.
Every load cleaning – dryer
Cleaning the lint screen
The lint screen is located at the front of the
dryer door opening. Clean it before each
load. A screen blocked by lint can increase
drying time.
1. Open the door and pull the lint screen
straight up.
2. Roll lint off the screen with your fingers.
Do not rinse or wash the screen to
remove lint. Wet lint is hard to remove.
As needed cleaning – washer
Exterior
Wipe up detergent, bleach, and other spills
with a soft, damp cloth or
sponge as they occur. Occa-
sionally wipe the outside of
the washer to keep it looking
like new.
Caring for Your Washer/Dryer
Interior
Clean interior with 1 cup (250 mL) of chlo-
rine bleach mixed with 2 cups (500 mL) of
detergent. Run washer through a complete
cycle using hot water. Repeat process if
necessary.
NOTE: Remove hard water deposits using
only cleaners labeled as washer safe.
