Care and Cleaning
1. Disconnect or Turn off electrical power.
CLEANING LINT FROM YOUR DRYER
Combustible lint may collect on the inside of the dryer cabinet. CLEAN EVERY 2 TO 3 YEARS OR
MORE OFTEN DEPENDING ON USAGE. Cleaning should be done by a qualified service person.
ALWAYS VERIFY PROPER OPERATION AFTER SERVICING
2. Disconnect duct from dryer.
3. Clean exhaust duct from end where dryer is
connected to the exhaust hood using:
• the hose attachment of your vacuum cleaner:
• a dust rag attached to a pole (for straight stretches)
or to a drain cleaning wire (for less accessible
turns).
4. Inspect exhaust hood. To minimize resistance to the
exhaust air flow:
• flap must move freely (you may check with a
mirror);
• flap should be fully open when dryer is on;
• ensure that no wildlife (birds, insects,...) have
nested inside the duct.
