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.
