Cleaning The Lint Screen - LG DLE5911W Owner's Manual

Lubrication
All moving parts are sealed in a permanent supply of
lubricant or are equipped with oilless beatings.
Additional lubrication will not be necessary.
Care of Your Dryer
Clean the lint filter before drying each load. The lint
filter may be washed if needed. Annually remove the lint
filter and attach to the vaccuum duct under it.
Ordinarily, the dryer cylinder will need no care.
Wipe the exterior dryer cabinet as needed. If detergent,
bleach or other washing products are spilled on the
cabinet, wipe immediately. Some products will cause
permanent damage if spilled on the cabinet.
Use only a damp cloth for cleaning the control panel.
Some spray prewash products may harm the finish on
the control panel.
NOTE: The wiring diagram is located inside the
control panel.
[ i i It - ]
Label all wires prior to disconnection when
servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause
improper and dangerous operation.
Cleaning the Lint Screen
Every load cleaning
The lint screen is located in the door opening of the
dryer. Clean it before or after each load. 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:
M 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
fabdcs.
B 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.
• If lint falls off the screen into the dryer dudng
removal, check the exhaust hood and remove the
lint.
As needed cleaning
Laundry detergent and fabric softener residue can
build up on the lint screen. This buildup can cause
longer drying times for your clothes, or cause the dryer
to stop before your load is completely dry. The screen
is probably clogged if lint falls off the screen.
Clean the lint screen with a nylon brush every six
months, or more frequently, if it becomes clogged due
to a residue buildup.
To wash
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, Completely dry lint screen with a clean towel.
Replace screen in dryer.
