Exhaust requirements and maintenance

Cleaning the lint screen

1.Clean the lint filter once either before or after drying each load. Always make sure the lint filter is clean before starting a new load, because a clogged lint filter may increase drying times.

2.To clean, pull the lint screen straight up and roll any lint off the screen with your fingers.

3.Always ensure the lint screen is firmly secured before running the dryer. Running the dryer with a loose lint screen may cause overheating and damage to the dryer and articles being dried.

4.Some articles may shed more lint than others, causing the lint screen to fill rapidly. Remove lint from the lint screen before and after drying these articles, such as new towels.

5.In the event lint falls off of the lint screen and into the dryer during removal, inspect the exhaust hood and remove any lint.

6.Laundry detergent and fabric softener residue can build up on the lint screen, causing longer drying times.

The screen is likely blocked if lint falls off the screen. In order to prevent this type of build up, and help ensure proper operation of your dryer, clean the lint screen with a nylon brush every six months or more frequently, if necessary. The lint filter can also be washed as follows:

a)After rolling the lint off of the screen with your fingers, wet both sides of the screen with hot or warm water.

b)Wet a nylon brush with hot water and liquid detergent and scrub the lint screen with the brush to remove the buildup of detergent and fabric softener.

c)After the residue has been removed, rinse screen with hot water.

d)After drying the lint screen with a clean

towel, firmly replace the lint screen in your dryer.
