Dryer
If your dryer is exhausted to the outside, inspect and
clean the dryer exhaust ducting at least once a year.
A clothes dryer produces combustible lint. When the
dryer is not exhausted to the outside, this lint is more
apt to accumulate in and near the dryer, which could
create a fire hazard.
How to reduce the possibility of a fire hazard, if
your dryer (Gas dryers must be exhausted outside)
is not exhausted to the outside:
• Clean the lint filter before every load. See How to
Operate Your Dryer section.
• Inspect the area behind your front access
panel at least once a year and clean out any lint
that may have accumulated. Wipe or vacuum,
being careful not to disturb any of the electrical
mechanical connections.
How to remove the front access panel between the washer and dryer
Remove two Phillips-head screws at top of panel. Lift access panel up until tabs at sides of panel slip
out of slots at sides of dryer.
To replace access panel, fit tabs on panel into
slots at sides of dryer, push panel back in place
and replace screws.
