DRYER CARE
Keep dryer area clear and free from items that would obstruct the
flow of combustion and ventilation air.
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from dryer.
Place dryer at [east 18 inches (460 ram) above the floor
for a garage installation.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
Every load cleaning
1.
The lint screen is located in the door opening of the dryer. Pull
the lint screen straight up. Roll lint off the screen with your
fingers. I)o not rinse or wash screen to remove lint. Wet lint is
hard to remove.
2. Push the lint screen firmly back into place.
As needed cleaning
I.aundry 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 while the screen is in
the dryer.
Clean the lint screen with a nylon brush every 6 months, or more
frequently, if it becomes clogged due to a residue buildup.
To wash
1. Roll lint off 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. Thoroughly dry lint screen with a clean towel. Replace screen in
dryer.
Clean the lint screen before each load. The control panel has an
indicator light to remind you to 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.
