Check The Lint Filter Before Every Load; Sorting Laundry; Loading The Dryer - LG DLE3170 Series Owner's Manual

Check the Lint Filter Before
Every Load
Always make sure the lint filter is clean before
starting a new load; a clogged lint filter will increase
drying time. To clean, pull the lint filter straight up and
roll any lint off the filter with your fingers. Push the lint
filter firmly back into place. See Regular Cleaning
for more information.
Always ensure the lint filter is properly installed
before running the dryer. Running the dryer with a
loose or missing lint filter will damage the dryer and
articles in the dryer.
