Caring for Your Dryer
Proper care of your dryer can extend its life. This section explains how to care for your dryer
properly and safely.
Every load cleaning
Cleaning the lint screen
The lint screen is located under a lid on top
of the dryer. Clean ft before each load.
A screen blocked by lint can increase
drying time.
1. Open the lid and pull the lint screen
towards you.
2. Roll lint off the screen with your fingers.
Do not rinse or wash screen
to remove lint. Wet lint is hard
to remove.
3. Push the lint screen firmly back into place
and close the lid.
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.
• Some towels made of synthetic fibers and
natural fibers (polyester and cotton blends)
may shed more lint than other towels,
causing your dryer’s lint screen to fill up
faster. Be sure to remove lint from the lint
screen before and after drying new towels.
