Cleaning the lint screen
1. Clean the lint lter once either before
or after drying each load. Always make
sure the lint lter is clean before starting
a new load, because a clogged lint lter
may increase drying times.
2. To clean, pull the lint screen straight up
and roll any lint off the screen with your
ngers. Push the lint screen rmly back
into place.
3. Always ensure the lint screen is rmly
secured before running the dryer.
Running the dryer with a loose lint
screen may cause overheating and
damage to the dryer and articles being
dried.
4. Some articles may shed more lint than
others, causing the lint screen to ll
rapidly. Remove lint from the lint screen
before and after drying these articles,
such as new towels.
5. In the event lint falls off of the lint screen
and into the dryer during removal,
inspect the exhaust hood and remove
any lint.
6. Laundry detergent and fabric softener
residue can build up on the lint screen,
causing longer drying times. The screen
is likely blocked if lint falls off the screen.
In order to prevent this type of build up,
and help ensure proper operation of
your dryer, clean the lint screen with a
nylon brush every six months or more
frequently, if necessary. The lint lter
can also be washed as follows:
a). After rolling the lint off of the screen
with your ngers, wet both sides of
the screen with hot or warm water.
b). Wet a nylon brush with hot water
and liquid detergent and scrub the
lint screen with the brush to remove
the buildup of detergent and fabric
softener.
c). After the residue has been removed,
rinse screen with hot water.
d). After drying the lint screen with a
clean towel, rmly replace the lint
screen in your dryer.
