NOTE: If lint still remains on screen and foam pad then wet both sides with hot water. If necessary, wet a nylon brush with hot water and liquid detergent. Scrub lint screen with the brush to remove residue buildup. Rinse screen and foam pad with hot water. See figure below:
- Clean the filter housing and mesh inside with a damp cloth, household vacuum cleaner, or soft brush. Clean the screen at the back of the filter cabinet once a month. See figure below:
- Put lint screen and foam pad back into filter and put filter back in dryer cabinet. Dryer will not operate without filter and make sure the handle is downward to lock in place. LF will display if not properly seated.
IMPORTANT: Do not run the dryer with the filter loose, damaged, blocked, or missing. Doing so can cause overheating and damage to both the dryer and fabrics.
