Removing accumulated lint

Lint can gather inside the dryer and be a fuel for fire. Lint should be removed every two to three years, or more often, depending on dryer usage. Cleaning should be done by a quali- fied person. If you have any questions or comments, please call our Consumer Assistance Center at l-800-253-1 301.
