• Thoroughly clean the dryer every year. Have an authorized service representative perform this maintenance. 
• Clean the lint filter before drying each load. The lint filter may be washed if needed. Annually remove lint filter and screw to vacuum the duct under it. 
• Inspect the exhaust duct for lint build-up after one year of service. Clean if necessary. Inspect every one to two years as required thereafter. 
• Inspect the outside weather hood frequently to make sure dampers move freely, dampers are not pushed in and that nothing has been set against them.
