DRYER CARE

CLEANING THE DRYER LOCATION

Keep dryer area clear and free from items that would block the

air ﬂow for proper dryer operation. This includes clearing piles

of laundry in front of the dryer.

CLEANING THE DRYER INTERIOR

To clean dryer drum

1. Use a mild hand dish detergent mixed at a low

concentration with very warm water, and rub with

a soft cloth.

2. Rinse well with a wet sponge or towel.

3. Tumble a load of clean clothes or towels to dry drum

Use a microﬁber cloth and hot water in a spray bottle

to clean the drum and a second microﬁber towel to dry.

NOTE: Garments that contain unstable dyes, such as denim

blue jeans or brightly colored cotton items, may discolor the

rear of 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.

REMOVING ACCUMULATED LINT

From Inside the Dryer Cabinet

Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often,

depending on dryer usage. Cleaning should be done by a

qualiﬁed appliance servicer or ventilation system cleaner.

From the Exhaust Vent

Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often,

depending on dryer usage.

CLEANING THE LINT SCREEN

Every load cleaning

The lint screen is located in the door opening of the dryer.

The control panel has an indicator light (“Check Lint Screen”)

that comes on before and after each load to remind you to

clean the lint screen.. A screen blocked by lint can increase

drying time.

To clean:

1. Pull the lint screen straight up and out. Press tab down on

front and open lint screen. 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:

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” in the Installation Instructions.

Clean space where lint screen

is located, as needed. Using a

vacuum, gently remove any

lint that has accumulated

outside of the lint screen.

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.

Reinstall screen in dryer.
