MAXIMIZE YOUR DRYER EFFICIENCY

BY KEEPING THE EXHAUST DUCT CLEAN.

1.Disconnect the plug from the wall socket or turn off the circuit breaker to cut the

electrical supply to the dryer.

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.

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.
