Removing accumulated lint
Lint can gather inside the dryer and be a fuel
for fire. Lint should be removed every 2 to 3
years, or more often, depending on dryer
usage. Cleaning should be done by a
qualified person. If you have any questions
or comments, please call our Consumer
Assistance Center at 1-800-253-1301.

off the electrical power before remov-
ing dryer panels.
• Make sure the dryer is cool.
• Dryer parts can have sharp edges.
Use care when handling.
• When replacing front panel after lint
removal, the wire clips holding the
