Do not run the dryer with the lint screen loose, damaged, bbdred or
missing. Doing so can cause overheating and damage to both the
dryer and fabrics.
Cleaning the lint screen
The lint screen is &ated under a lid on top of the
dryer. Clean lt before each load. A screen
blocked by lint can increase drying time.
1. C$n the lid and pull the lint screen straight
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 fabrfc 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 it 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 nybn 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 dean towel
and replace in dryer.
