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 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. Replace screen

in dryer.

Cleaning the Dryer Interior

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, nonflammable household cleaner to the

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

stains are removed.

3. Wipe drum thoroughly with a damp cloth.

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

NOTE: Garments that 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

avoid dye transfer.
