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.

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 the screen.

Clean the lint screen with a nylon brush every six 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 the lint screen cover and body with hot water.

3. Wet a nylon brush with hot water and liquid detergent. Scrub

lint screen cover and body with the brush to remove residue

buildup.

4. Rinse with hot water.

5. Thoroughly dry lint screen body and cover with a clean towel.

Replace in dryer.

Cleaning the Dryer Interior

Explosion Hazard

Use nonflammable cleaner.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion,

or fire.

To clean dryer drum

1. Make a paste with powdered laundry detergent and very

warm water.

2. Apply paste to a soft cloth.

Apply a liquid, non-flammable household cleaner to the

stained area and rub with a soft cloth until all excess dye is

removed.

3. Wipe drum thoroughly with a damp cloth.

4. Tumble a load of clean cloths or towels to dry drum.

NOTE: Garments which contain unstable dyes, such as denim

blue jeans or brightly colored cotton items, may discolor 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 prevent dye transfer.
