CLEANING THE DRYER LOCATION
Keep dryer area clear and free from items that
would obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air.
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors,
such as gasoline, away from dryer.
Place dryer at least 18 inches (46 cm)
above the floor for a garage installation.
Failure to do so can result in death,
explosion, or fire.
CLEANING THE LINT SCREEN
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 dur-
ing removal, check the exhaust hood and
remove the lint.
EVERY LOAD CLEANING
1. The lint screen is located on the top of the
dryer. Pull the lint screen toward you. Roll
lint off the screen with your fingers. Do not
rinse or wash screen to remove lint. Wet
lint is hard to remove.

DRYER CARE

AS NEEDED CLEANING

2. Wet both sides of lint screen with hot wa-
ter.

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. Insert lint screen back into dryer.
CLEANING THE DRYER INTERIOR
1. Apply a liquid, nonflammable household
cleaner to the stained area of the drum
and rub with a soft cloth until stain is re-
moved.
2. Wipe drum thoroughly with a damp cloth.
3. Tumble a load of clean cloths or towels to
dry the drum.
NOTE: Garments that contain unstable dyes,
such as denim blue jeans or brightly colored
cotton items, may discolor the dryer interior.
These stains are not harmful to your dryer
and will not stain future loads of clothes. Dry
unstable dye items inside-out to avoid dye
transfer.
