DRYER CARE

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
1. The lint screen is located on the top of the dryer. Pull the lint screen toward you. 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.
