To clean
1.Open the door and pull the lint screen straight out.
2.Squeeze body of lint screen lightly while pulling off the cover.
3.Roll lint off the screen with your fingers. 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 firmly 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.
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.
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 six 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 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 body and cover with a clean towel. Replace in dryer.
