DRYER CARE
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. The control panel has an indicator light to remind you
to 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.
Every load cleaning
1. The lint screen is located in the door opening of the dryer. 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.
As needed cleaning
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 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. Replace screen in 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 removed.
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 transfer of
dye.

From Inside the Dryer Cabinet
