CLEANING THE LiNT SCREEN

Every load cleaning

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

Be sure to 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:

[] 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.

Reinstall screen in dryer.

NON=USE, STORAGE, AND MOVING CARE

Install and store your dryer where it will not freeze. Because

some water may stay in the hose, freezing can damage

your dryer. If storing or moving your dryer during freezing

weather, winterize it.

Non=Use or Storage Care

Operate your dryer only when you are at home. Ifyou will

be on vacation or not using your dryer for an extended

period of time, you should:

1. Unplug dryer or disconnect power.

2. Clean lint screen. See "Cleaning the Lint Screen."

3. Turn off the water supply to the dryer. This helps to

avoid unintended flooding (due to a water pressure

surge) while you are away.
