USING YOUR DRYER
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to 
persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before 
operating this dryer.
Before using your dryer, wipe the dryer drum with a damp cloth 
to remove dust from storing and shipping. 
Clean the lint screen before each load. A screen blocked  
by lint can increase drying time.
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.
If lint falls off the screen into the dryer during removal, check  
the exhaust hood and remove the lint. 
1.  The lint screen is located in the front of the dryer. Pull the lint 
screen straight up to remove. 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.
