dust and lint from air intake open-
ings with a small brush or the
brush attachment of a vacuum
cleaner. The outer surface of the
dryer should be wiped clean with
a cloth only. Blocked or clogged air
intake vents will cause the dryer to
overheat. If overheating occurs, an
automatic safety device will shut
the dryer or the heat off to prevent
damage or personal injury. If the
unit or the heat cycles off, turn the
dryer off, unplug the cord, and al-
low the dryer to cool for 10 to 15
minutes before restarting. Make

ing the steps below.

press the mesh screen to release
it from the filter (Fig. 1).
3. Visually inspect the filter to
make sure no hair is caught (Fig.

under running water to clear any
debris. Repeat as needed, or use
a stiff bristle brush for any diffi-
cult buildup.
4. Make sure the mesh screen is free
from any debris and completely
dry. Place screen into bottom
part of removable intake filter
(Fig. 3).
5. Press with your finger around the
edge of the screen to lock mesh
screen in place (Fig. 4).
