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 during removal, check the exhaust hood and
remove the lint.
