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. • Inspect the area behind your front access panel at least once a year and clean out any lint that may have accumulated. Wipe or vacuum, being careful not to disturb any of the electrical mechanical connections. How to remove the front access panel between the washer and dryer Remove two Phillips-head screws at top of panel. Lift access panel up until tabs at sides of panel slip out of slots at sides of dryer. To replace access panel, fit tabs on panel into slots at sides of dryer, push panel back in place and replace screws. Care and Cleaning 21
