DRYER CARE

Cleaning the Dryer Location

Keep dryer area clear and free from items that would obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.

Cleaning the Lint Screen

Clean the lint screen before each load. The control panel has an indicator light to remind you to clean the lint screen before each load. A screen blocked by lint can increase drying time.

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.

Every load cleaning

1.The lint screen is located in the door opening of the dryer. Pull the lint screen straight up. Roll lint off the screen with your fingers. Do not rinse or wash screen to remove lint. Wet lint is hard to remove.

2.Push the lint screen firmly back into place.
