*Reset time to complete drying, if needed.
NOTE: You must remove drying rack for normal tumbling. Do not 

use Sensor cycles with the drying rack.

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

flow of combustion and ventilation air.

The lint screen is located in the door opening of the dryer. A screen 
blocked by lint can increase drying time. Clean the lint screen before 

each load.
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.
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. See “Venting Requirements” 

in the Installation Instructions.

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. Replace screen in 

dryer.

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 
transfer of dye.
