Proper care of your dryer can extend its life and help your dryer operate efficiently.

As needed cleaning
Laundry detergents and fabric softeners can cause a residue buildup 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. You may be able to see this buildup, or the lint may be falling off the screen because it is clogged. Clean the lint screen with a nylon brush every 6 months or more frequently if it becomes clogged due to a residue buildup. Use the following method: 1. Wet both sides of lint screen with hot water. 2. Wet a nylon brush with hot water and liquid detergent; scrub lint screen with the brush to remove residue buildup.

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. Rinse screen with hot water. 4. Thoroughly dry lint screen with a clean towel;
replace in dryer.

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. 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. and clean out lint, if necessary.

� Some towels made of synthetic fibers and natural

� If lint falls into chute, double-check exhaust hood
