DRYER CARE Keep dryer area clear and free from items that would obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Explosion Hazard Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from dryer. Place dryer at least 18 inches (46 cm) above the floor for a garage installation. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire. Every load cleaning The lint screen is located in the door opening of the dryer. The control panel has an indicator light to remind you to clean the lint screen before each load. 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. 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 "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. 3. Wet a nylon brush with hot water and liquid detergent. Scrub lint screen with the brush to remove residue buildup. 4. Rinse screen with hot water. 5. Thoroughly dry lint screen with a clean towel. Replace screen in dryer. 21

Every load cleaning
The lint screen is located
in the door opening
of the dryer. The
control
panel has an indicator
light to remind you to clean the lint
screen before each load. 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.
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 "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.
