CARING FOR YOUR DRYER
Cleaning the Lint Screen
Every load cleaning
The lint screen is located on the top of the dryer. Clean it before
each load. A screen block ed by lint can increase drying time.
To clean
1.
Pull the lint screen towards 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.
IMPORTANT:
■ Do not run the dryer with the lint screen loose, damaged,
block ed, 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.
■ If lint falls off the screen into the dryer during removal, check
the exhaust hood and remove the lint. See “Check ing Your
Vent.”
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 six months or more
frequently if it becomes clogged due to a residue buildup.
To wash
1.
Wet both sides of lint screen with hot water.
2.
Wet a nylon brush with hot water and liquid detergent. Scrub
lint screen with the brush to remove residue buildup.
3.
Rinse screen with hot water.
4. Thoroughly
dry lint screen with a clean towel. Replace
screen in dryer.
