CARING FOR YOUR DRYER

Lint signal

The lint signal (a whistle tone) indicates excessive lint is present on your lint screen. A full lint

screen restricts airflow and

reduces drying efficiency. When you hear the signal, stop the dryer and clean the lint screen.

NOTE: Clean your lint screen before each load. Do not wait for the lint signal.
