Cleaning the lint screen

The lint screen is located under a lid on top of the dryer. Clean it before each load.

A screen blocked by lint can increase drying time.

1.Open the lid and pull the lint screen

towards you.

2.Roll lint off the screen with your fingers. Do not rinse or wash screen to remove lint. Wet lint is hard to remove.

3.Push the lint screen firmly back into place and close the lid.

IMPORTANT:

lDo 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.

l 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.
