A:Answer To clean the lint filter first you will need to remove the lint filter by pulling outward using the four (4) grip holes in the filter assembly. (Please note: The lint filter assembly must be installed when operating the dryer. The lint filter assembly must be cleaned before and after each use). The lint filter assembly consists of three (3) parts: exhaust vent shroud, lint filter, and exhaust filter. Separate the three (3) parts of the assembly and clean the individual pieces using a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner. Do not damage the filter assembly. Reassemble the filter assembly in the following order: exhaust filter - lint filter - exhaust vent shroud. Align the entire assembly with the recessed position in the back of the drum and press firmly until the entire filter assembly is secured. Thank you!
