CLEANING THE LINT SCREEN

Remove Lint Before Every Load The lint screen is located in the door

opening. Remove lint before every load. A screen blocked by lint can increase drying time.

To clean:

STEP 1. Pull the lint screen straight up.

STEP 2. Roll lint off the screen with your

fingers. Do not rinse or wash screen to remove lint. Wet lint is hard to remove.

STEP 3. 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 carl 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.
