CARING FOR YOUR DRYER
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 qualified person. If you have any questions, contact your dealer, or nearest Inglis Limited Appliance Service Branch.
