From the Exhaust Vent
lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often, depending on dryer usage.
Replace inlet hoses and hose screen after 5 years of use to reduce the risk of hose failure.
Periodically inspect and replace inlet hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts, wear or leaks are found.
When replacing your inlet hoses, record the date of replacement.
Install and store your dryer where it will not freeze. Because some water may stay in the
hoses, freezing can damage your dryer. If storing or moving your dryer during freezing
weather, winterize it.
