CLEANING THE LINT SCREEN
Every-load cleaning
The lint screen is located in the door opening of the dryer.
Clean the lint screen before each load. A screen blocked
by lint can increase drying time.
To clean:
1.
Pull the lint screen straight up. Roll lint off the screen with
your fingers. Do not rinse or wash screen to remove lint.
Wet lint is hard to remove.
2.
Push the lint screen firmly back into place.
IMPORTANT:
n
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.
n
If lint falls off the screen into the dryer during removal,
check the exhaust hood and remove the lint. See “Venting
Requirements” in the Installation Instructions.
Laundry detergent and fabric softener residue can build up
on the lint screen. This buildup can cause longer drying times
for your clothes, or cause the dryer to stop before your load is
completely dry. The screen is probably clogged if lint falls off
while the screen is in the dryer.
Clean the lint screen with a nylon brush every 6 months,
or more frequently, if it becomes clogged due to a residue
buildup.
To wash:
1.
Roll lint off the screen with your fingers.
2.
Wet both sides of lint screen with hot water.
3.
Wet a nylon brush with hot water and liquid 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.
Reinstall screen in dryer.
