Cleaning the Dryer Location

Keep dryer area clear and free from items that would obstruct

the ow of combustion and ventilation air.

Cleaning the Lint Screen

Every load cleaning

The lint screen is located inside the dryer drum, on the back wall.

Clean it before each load. A screen blocked by lint can increase

drying time.

To clean:

1. Open the door and pull the lint screen straight out.

2. Squeeze body of lint screen lightly while pulling o the cover.

3. Roll lint o the screen with your ngers. Do not rinse or wash

screen to remove lint. Wet lint is hard to remove.

4. Replace cover on lint screen body. Push the lint screen rmly

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.

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

o 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.

DRYER CARE

To wash:

1. Roll lint o the screen with your ngers.

2. Wet both the lint screen cover and body with hot water.

3. Wet a nylon brush with hot water and liquid detergent.

Scrub lint screen cover and body with the brush to remove

residue buildup.

4. Rinse with hot water.

5. Thoroughly dry lint screen cover and body with a clean towel.

Replace in dryer.

Cleaning the Dryer Interior

To clean dryer drum:

1. Make a paste with powdered laundry detergent and very

warm water.

2. Apply paste to a soft cloth.

Apply a liquid, nonammable household cleaner to the stained

area and rub with a soft cloth until all excess dye is removed.

3. Wipe drum thoroughly with a damp cloth.

4. Tumble a load of clean cloths or towels to dry drum.

NOTE: Garments that 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 avoid transfer of dye.
