each load. A screen blocked
by lint can increase
drying
time.

To wash
1. Roll lint off the screen with your fingers.

both sides of lint screen with hot water.
3. Wet a nylon brush with hot water

residue buildup.

following)
every 6 months,
or
more frequently
if it becomes
clogged
due to a residue
buildup.
