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.
Lint can gather inside the dryer and create a FIRE
HAZARD. This lint should be removed at least
every 2 or 3 years, or more often, depending on
dryer usage.
Electrical Shock and Personal Injury
Hazard
• Unplug the power supply cord or turn off the
electrical power.
• Do not put hands inside the cabinet.
• Make sure the dryer is cool.
• More than one person is required to lift, tilt
or move the washer/dryer because of its weight
and size.
Failure to do so could result in electrical shock,
injury or damage.
Cleaning should be done only by a qualified
person.

electrical power.
