 DRYER CARE
Cleaning the Dryer Location
Keep dryer area clear and free from items that would obstruct the 
flow of combustion and ventilation air.
Cleaning the Lint Screen
Every load cleaning
The lint screen is located in the door opening of the dryer. The 
control panel has an indicator light to remind you to clean the lint 
screen before each load. A screen blocked by lint can increase 
drying time.
To clean
1. Pull the lint screen straight up. Roll lint off the screen with 
your fingers. Do not rinse or wash screen to remove lint. Wet 
lint is hard to remove.
2. Push the lint screen firmly back into place.
