DRYER CARE
Cleaning the DryerLocation
Keep dryer area clear and free from items that would obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
WARNING
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.
Cleaningthe LintScreen
Every load cleaning
The lint screen is located on the front of the dryer, below the door. A reminder to CLEAN LINT SCREEN is displayed in the status display window. A screen blocked by lint can increase drying time.
To clean
1.Pull the lint screen straight out. Roll lint off the screen with your fingers. Do not rinse or wash screen to remove lint. Wet lint is hard to remove.
NOTE: To completely remove the lint screen, depress the tab.
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.
■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.
