Care and Cleaning

DRYER Vent

MAXIMIZE YOUR DRYER EFFICIENCY BY KEEPING THE DUCTING CLEAN.

1.Disconnect or Turn off the electrical power.

2.Disconnect the ducting from the dryer.

3.Clean the ducting from the end where the dryer is connected using:

•the hose attachment of your vacuum cleaner

•a duster attached to a pole (for straight

stretches) or to a drain cleaning wire (for less accessible areas).

4.Inspect the wall vent and check that there is sufficient possible air flow. Check that:

•the flap can move freely (use a mirror if difficult to see)

•the flap is fully open when the dryer is running

•no wildlife (birds, insects,...) have nested inside the ducting.
