Exhaust and Dryer Maintenance Cleaning the Lint Screen
1. After one year of use, the interior and complete exhaust
system of the dryer should be examined and cleaned if
necessary.
2. Before one year of use, when drying performance has
become unsatisfactory, please examine and clean the
exhaust duct for better drying performance.
3. Check the weather hoods frequently to ensure the
dampers are moving freely, that the dampers are not
pushed in and that nothing has been set against the
dampers.
4. A qualified service person or company should be used to
perform this maintenance.
5. A Flexible Metal Vent Kit, available at extra cost, can
be used to exhaust the dryer when it is placed in hard to
reach places. This Kit comes in two pieces, one of
which is attached to the dryer and the other is attached to
the wall exhaust outlet. Following attachment of the two
separate pieces to the dryer and the wall, the dryer may
be returned to its final position, after which the
two pieces themselves can be connected.
7. Ordinarily, the dryer drum will need no care. Wipe the
exterior of the dryer as required, and always wipe the
exterior of the dryer in the event any detergent, bleach, or
other washing products is spilled on the dryer.
8. Clean the control panel with a damp cloth as
necessary. Warning: spray pre-wash products may
damage the finish of the control panel.
9. Please clean the lint filter either before drying each
load or after drying each load.
10. Always make sure the lint filter is clean before
starting a new load, because a clogged lint filter may
increase drying times.
11. Annually remove the lint filter and attach it to the
vacuum duct. See item #2 above.
12. Please note that the wiring diagram is provided inside
the dryer control hood. Label all wires prior to
disconnection when servicing the dryer, because wiring
errors can cause serious injury to you and your dryer.
1. Clean the lint filter either before drying each load or
after drying each load. Always make sure the lint
filter is clean before starting a new load, because a
clogged lint filter may increase drying times.
2. To clean, pull the lint screen straight up and roll any
lint off the screen with your fingers.
Do not rinse or wash screen to remove lint. Push the
lint screen firmly back into place.
3. Always ensure the lint screen is firmly secured
before running the dryer. Running the dryer with a
loose lint screen may cause overheating and damage
to the dryer and articles being dried.
4. Some articles of clothing may shed more lint than
others (towels for example), causing the lint screen
to fill rapidly. Remove lint from the lint screen
before and after drying these articles, such as new
towels.
5. In the event lint falls off of the lint screen and into
the dryer during removal, inspect the exhaust hood
and remove any lint.
6. Laundry detergent and fabric softener residue can
build up on the lint screen, causing longer drying
times. The screen is likely blocked if lint falls off
the screen. In order to prevent this type of build up,
and help ensure proper operation of your dryer, clean
the lint screen with a nylon brush every six months
or, if necessary, more
frequently. The lint filter can also be washed as
follows:
a) After rolling the lint off of the screen with your
fingers, wet both sides of the screen with hot or
warm water.
b) Wet a nylon brush with hot water and liquid
detergent and scrub the lint screen with the brush to
remove the buildup of detergent and fabric softener.
c) After the residue has been removed, rinse screen
with hot water.
d) After drying the lint screen with a clean towel,
firmly replace the lint screen in your dryer.
WARNING
•
Disconnect the dryer’s electric power
prior to any cleaning or maintenance.

electric shock.
