Do not rinse or wash screen to remove lint. Wet lint is hard to remove. Explosion Hazard Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from dryer. Place dryer at least 18 inches (46 cm) above the floor for a garage installation. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire. Cleaning the Lint Screen Clean lint screen before each load. A screen blocked by lint can increase drying time.
