DRYER CARE

Cleaning the Dryer Location

Keep dryer area clear and free from items that would obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air.
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from dryer.
Place dryer at least 18 inches (46 cm) above the floor
for a garage installation.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

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.
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."
