Inside the Dryer
• Clean the dryer lint screen after every load. Lint build-up in the screen restricts
air flow, which causes longer drying times. The screen is located at the bottom
of the door opening. Remove by pulling straight u p. Remove the lint and replace
the screen.
• Occasionally a waxy build-up may form on the lint screen from using dryer-added
fabric softener sheets. To remove this build-up, wash the lint screen in warm,
soapy water. Dry thoroughly and replace. Do not operate the dryer without the
lint screen in place.
• Ifthe dryer drum becomes stained from noncolorfast fabrics, clean thedrum with
a damp cloth and a mild liquid household cleanser. Remove cleanser residue
before drying the next load.

and exhaust duct. These areas can collect lint and dust over time. An excessive
amount of lint build-up could result in inefficient drying and possible fire hazard.
