Cleaning the lint screen (cont.)

Vacation, storage, and moving care

Steam models only: Install and store your dryer where it

will not freeze. Because some water may stay in the hose,

freezing can damage your dryer. If storing or moving your

dryer during freezing weather, winterize it.

Non-Use or Storage Care

be on vacation or not using your dryer for an extended

period of time, you should:

1. Unplug dryer or disconnect power.

2. Clean lint screen. See “Cleaning the Lint Screen.”

3. Turn off the water supply to the dryer. This helps to avoid

unintended ﬂ ooding (due to a water pressure surge)

while you are away.
