How do I clean the lint filter?

To clean the lint filter between cycles, open the dryer door, pull the lint filter straight up, and roll any lint off the filter with your fingers. Do not rinse or wash the filter to remove lint — push it firmly back into place when done. For periodic thorough cleaning, if the filter looks dark or dirty when held up to light, use hot soapy water and a stiff brush to clean it, and make sure the filter is completely dry before reinstalling. Never operate the dryer without the lint filter or with a wet lint filter. (Page 25)
