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. See “Venting 
Requirements.”

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 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. Replace screen 

in dryer.

Cleaning the Dryer Interior

To clean dryer drum

1. Make a paste with powdered laundry detergent and very 

warm water.

2. Apply paste to a soft cloth.

OR

Apply a liquid, nonflammable household cleaner to the 
stained area and rub with a soft cloth until all excess dye and 
stains are removed.

3. Wipe drum thoroughly with a damp cloth.

4. Tumble a load of clean cloths or towels to dry 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.

on dryer usage. Cleaning should be done by a qualified person.
