It is generally recommended that the person using the dryer clean out the lint tray immediately after they are finished using it. This practice helps maintain the efficiency and safety of the dryer. Here's why:
Efficiency: A clean lint tray allows for proper airflow within the dryer, which helps the machine dry clothes more efficiently. When the lint tray is clogged with lint, it restricts airflow and can prolong the drying time.
Fire Safety: Lint is highly flammable, and a buildup of lint in the lint tray can pose a fire hazard. By cleaning the lint tray after each use, you minimize the risk of lint igniting and causing a fire.
To establish a good habit, it's best for each user to clean out the lint tray before starting a new drying cycle. However, if for some reason it's not possible or if multiple people share the same dryer, it's important to ensure that someone cleans out the lint tray before each use to maintain safety and efficiency.
