Cleaning the lint filter

A dirty filter extends the drying time and
increases energy consumption.
The filter should be cleaned before
each laundry load.

E:12" warning message are emitted
during a drying program, clean the filter
immediately and check the exhaust
duct.

Removing Residue Buildup
Laundry detergent and fabric softener
can build up on the lint filter screen.
This buildup can cause longer drying
times. Use of dryer sheets is not
recommended. If you choose to use
dryer sheets, please clean the lint filter
periodically to remove residue.
i
If lint falls off the screen while it is in
the dryer, residue buildup probably
needs to be removed.
The filter should be lightly scrubbed at
least twice a year with warm soapy
water. A filter with residue buildup will
tend to hold water even though the
mesh is lint free. The filter is clean
when it no longer holds water. The
filter must be dried thoroughly before
being inserted back into the dryer.
To remove residue, follow these steps:
1. Clean all lint from the lint filter.
2. Wet both sides of the filter mesh
with hot water.
3. Wet a soft nylon brush with hot
water and liquid detergent.
4. Lightly scrub the lint screen with
the brush to remove residue
buildup. Be careful not to damage
the screen.
5. Rinse the screen with hot water.
6. Thoroughly dry the lint screen with
a clean towel.
7. Replace the lint filter back into the
dryer.
