Every load cleaning - washer

Cleaning the lint filter

Clean the filter at the bottom of the agitator after every load for the best filtering results. To clean:

Every load cleaning - dryer

Cleaning the lint screen

The lint Screen is located inside the dryer drum, on the back wall. Clean lt before each bad. A screen Mocked by lint can increase drying time.

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

2.Squeeze the lint screen lightfj while pulling the cover off.

3.Roll lint off the screen with your fingers. Do not rinse or wash the screen to remove lint. Wet lint is hard to remove.

4.Replace cover on lint screen. Push the lint screen firmly back into place and cbse the door.

IMPORTANT:

lDo 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.

l 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.
