Do not run the dryer with the lint screen loose, damaged, bbdred or

missing. Doing so can cause overheating and damage to both the

dryer and fabrics.

Cleaning the lint screen

The lint screen is &ated under a lid on top of the

dryer. Clean lt before each load. A screen

blocked by lint can increase drying time.

1. C$n the lid and pull the lint screen straight

2. Roll lint off the screen with your fingers. Do

not rinse or wash the screen to remove lint.

Wet lint is hard to remove.

3. Push the lint screen firmly back into place and

close the lid.

Lint screen maintenance

Laundry detergents and fabrfc softeners can

cause a residue build-up on the lint screen. A

clogged lint screen can extend drying times.

frequently if it becomes clogged due to a residue

build-up. Use the following method:

Wet both sides of lint screen with hot water.

2. Wet a nybn brush with hot water and liquid

detergent.

3. Scrub lint screen with the brush until all

residue build-up is removed.

4. Rinse with hot water.

and replace in dryer.
