Cleaning the Lint Screen

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

Style 1:

1.The lint screen is located inside the dryer on the back wall. Pull out the lint screen and its cover.

2.Separate the cover and the screen by squeezing the screen and pulling on the cover at the same time.

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.Put the lint screen and cover back together and push firmly back into place.

Style 2:

1.The lint screen is located inside the dryer in the front door well. 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.

As Needed Cleaning

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

1.Apply a non-flammable household cleaner to the stained area of the drum and rub with a soft cloth until stain is removed.

2.Wipe drum thoroughly with a damp cloth.

3.Tumble a load of clean cloths or towels to dry the drum.

NOTE: Garments which 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 prevent dye transfer.

Removing Accumulated Lint

From Inside the Dryer Cabinet

Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often, depending on dryer usage. Cleaning should be done by a qualified person.

From Inside the Exhaust Vent

Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often, depending on dryer usage.

Moving & Storage

Install and store your washer/dryer where it will not freeze. Because some water may stay in the hoses, freezing can damage your washer/dryer. If storing or moving your washer/dryer during freezing weather, winterize it.

To winterize washer/dryer

1.Shut off both water faucets. Disconnect and drain water inlet hoses. Put 1 qt (1 L) of R.V.-type antifreeze in the basket.

2.Run washer on a drain and spin setting for about 30 seconds to mix the antifreeze and water.

3.Unplug washer/dryer or disconnect power.

To use washer/dryer again

1.Flush water pipes and hoses. Reconnect water inlet hoses. Turn on both water faucets.

2.Plug in washer/dryer or reconnect power.

3.Run the washer through a complete cycle with 1 cup (250 mL) of detergent to clean out antifreeze.

Non-use or vacation care

Operate your washer/dryer only when you are at home. If you will be on vacation or not using your washer/dryer for an extended period of time, you should:

■Unplug washer/dryer or disconnect power.

■Turn off the water supply to the washer. This helps avoid accidental flooding (due to a water pressure surge) while you are away.

To transport the washer/dryer

1.Shut off both water faucets. Disconnect and drain water inlet hoses. Place the inlet hoses in the basket.

2.If washer/dryer will be moved during freezing weather, put in a qt (1 L) of R.V.-type antifreeze in the basket. Run washer on a spin setting for about 30 seconds to mix the antifreeze and water.

3.Disconnect the drain from the drain system.

4.Unplug washer/dryer or disconnect power.

5.Disconnect the exhaust vent.

6.If your washer/dryer is a gas model, close shutoff valve in gas supply line, disconnect gas supply line pipe and remove fittings attached to the washer/dryer pipe.

7.Wash lint screen.

8.Drape the power cord and drain hose over edge and into the basket.

9.Make sure leveling legs are secure. Use masking tape to secure the washer lid and dryer door.

Reinstalling your washer/dryer

1.Follow the “Installation Instructions” to locate, level, and connect the washer/dryer.

2.Run the washer through the Normal cycle with 1 scoop or cap full of detergent to clean the washer and remove the antifreeze, if used.
