Dryer Care

CLEANING THE DRYER LOCATION
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.
CLEANING THE DRYER INTERIOR
To clean dryer drum
1. Use a mild hand dish detergent mixed at a low
concentration with very warm water, and rub with
a soft cloth.
2. Rinse well with a wet sponge or towel.
3. Tumble a load of clean clothes or towels to dry drum
OR
Use a microfiber cloth and hot water in a spray bottle
to clean the drum and a second microfiber towel to dry.
NOTE: Garments that contain unstable dyes, such as denim
blue jeans or brightly colored cotton items, may discolor the
rear of 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.
REMOVING ACCUMULATED LINT
From inside the dryer cabinet
Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often,
depending on dryer usage. Cleaning should be done
by a qualified appliance servicer.
From the Exhaust Vent
Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often,
depending on dryer usage.
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 after each load. A screen blocked
by lint will 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.
IMPORTANT:
n 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.
n 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.
