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
Every load cleaning
The lint screen is located in the door opening of the dryer. A screen blocked by lint can increase drying time. Clean the lint screen before each load.
To clean
1.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.
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. See “Venting Requirements” in the Installation Instructions.
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 while the screen is in the dryer.
Clean the lint screen with a nylon brush every 6 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 sides of lint screen with hot water.
3.Wet a nylon brush with hot water and liquid detergent. Scrub lint screen with the brush to remove residue buildup.
4.Rinse screen with hot water.
5.Thoroughly dry lint screen with a clean towel. Replace screen in dryer.
Cleaning the Dryer Interior
To clean dryer drum
1.Make a paste with powdered laundry detergent and very warm water.
2.Apply paste to a soft cloth.
OR
Apply a liquid, nonflammable household cleaner to the stained area and rub with a soft cloth until all excess dye and stains are removed.
3.Wipe drum thoroughly with a damp cloth.
4.Tumble a load of clean cloths or towels to dry drum.
NOTE: Garments that contain unstable dyes, such as denim blue jeans or brightly colored cotton items, may discolor the dryer interior. These stains are not harmful to your dryer and will not stain future loads of clothes. Dry unstable dye items inside out to avoid transfer of dye.
