Keep dryer area clear and free from items that would block the 

air flow for proper dryer operation. This includes clearing piles 

of laundry in front of the dryer.

Every load cleaning
The lint screen is located in the dryer. A screen blocked by lint 

can increase drying time.
To clean:

1.  Pull the lint screen out of its holder. 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.

■

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. See Venting 

Requirements.

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 

while the screen is in the dryer.
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. Reinstall 

screen in dryer.

To clean dryer drum
1.  Apply a liquid, nonflammable household cleaner to the 

stained area of the drum and rub with a soft cloth until  

stain is removed.

2.  Wipe drum thoroughly with a damp cloth.
3.  Tumble a load of clean cloths or towels to dry the drum.

NOTE: Garments that contain loose 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 these items inside out to 

avoid drum staining.
