End-of-cycle signal The dryer sounds a signal to let you know

turned off and is not adjustable.

The signal is helpful when you are drying

permanent press, synthetics and other items

that should be taken out as soon as the dryer

stops.

Lint signal Ifyou neglect to clean your lint screen, the signal

will sound. The [whistle tone] signal lets you know

the air flow is being restricted. Restricted air flow

reduces drying efficiency.

Turn off the dryer and clean the lint screen as

shown below.

Lint screen

Clean the lint screen before each load. A screen blocked by lint can

increase drying time and may be a FIREHAZARD.

Open the lid and pull the lint screen

straight out.

tARNING: DO NOT run the

dryer with the lint screen

loose, damaged or missing.

Doing so can cause over-

heating, can damage fabrics and

can be a FIRE HAZARD.

ROLL the lint off the screen

with your fingers.

DO NOT rinse or wash the screen.

Push the screen firmly back into

place.

Lint removal

Lint can gather inside the dryer and create a fire hazard. Thislint

should be removed every 2 to 3 years, or more often, depending on
