Dryers require regular maintenance. Follow the suggestions below to maintain your dryer properly.
Maintenance-every load
Cleaning the lint screen
The lint screen is located under a lid on top of
the dryer. Clean li before each load. A screen
blocked by lint can increase drying time.
Product and Fabric Damage Hazard
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.
1. Open the lid and pull the lint screen straight
out.
2. Roll lint off the screen with your fingers. Do
not rinse or wash the screen to remove lint.
Wet lint is hard to remove.
3. Push the lint screen firmly back into place
and close the lid.
Lint signal
(on some models)
Restricted airflow reduces drying efficiency.
The signal (a whistle tone) lets you know if the
airflow is restricted.
l
Turn off the dryer and clean the lint screen.
NOTE: Clean your lint screen before each
load. Do not wait for the lint signal. The lint
signal indicates excessive lint present on your
lint screen. If you wait for the lint signal before
you clean the lint screen, drying efficiency
will be reduced.
