Cleaning the lint screen
The lint screen is located under a lid on top of the
dryer. Clean ft before each load. A screen
blocked by lint can increase drying time.
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 screen maintenance
Laundry detergents and fabric softeners can
cause a residue build-up on the lint screen. A
clogged lint screen can extend drying times.
Clean the lint screen every six months or more
frequently if ii becomes clogged due to a residue
build-up. Use the following method:
1. Wet both sides of lint screen with hot water.
2. Wet a nylon brush with hot water and liquid
detergent.
3. Scrub lint screen with the brush until all
residue build-up is removed.
4. Rinse with hot water.
5. Thoroughly dry lint screen with a clean towel
and replace in dryer.
