Cleaning The Lint Screen - Kenmore 29-Inch Wide GAS DRYERS Owner's Manual And Installation Instructions

CLEANING THE LINT SCREEN
Remove Lint Before Every Load
The lint screen is located on top of your
dryer. Remove lint before starting every
load. A screen blocked by lint can
increase drying time.
To clean:
1. Pull out lint screen.
2. Roll lint oft the screen with your fingers.
Do not rinse or wash screen to remove
lint. Wet lint is hard to remove.
Wash Lint Screen As Needed
Laundry detergents and fabric softeners
can cause a residue buildup on the lint
screen. Wash the lint screen with a nylon
brush if it becomes clogged due to a
residue buildup.
To wash:
1. Wet both sides of lint screen with hot
water.
2. Wet a nylon brush with hot water and
liquid detergent; scrub lint screen with
the brush to remove residue buildup.
3. Rinse lint screen with hot water.
4. Thoroughly dry lint screen with a clean
towel; replace in dryer.
3. Push the lint screen firmly back into
place.
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.
• Some towels made of synthetic fibers
and natural fibers (polyester and cotton
blends) may shed more lint than other
towels, causing your dryer's lint screen
to fill up faster. Be sure to remove lint
from the lint screen before and after
drying new towels.
