What is the best way to clean out this dryer vent ?

The cover opens and then the baffle inside can be lifted off so you can clean everything quickly and easily.

After each use hold the can upside down and depress the nozzle. This will blow pure air through the nozzle and clean out any remaining product.

That would depend on whether you like warm moist air in the room where your dryer is located. I live in the southeast and we have enough humidity this time of year and beyond that I don't want any more steamy air in my room. I open the window just enough for the venting hose to rest between the sill and the bottom of the open window. I put an old large beach towel next to the venting hose to keep hot air from getting inside. I would also expect that, over time, you might get some mildew if you don't vent at all. I do not like the tub vent kit since it's difficult for my arthritic hands to put the top and bottom together. There's definite room for improvement here, Panda!

You can twist the cap on the back of the dryer and it will come off allowing you access to clean the filter.

Go over it with a towel.this dries the floor and also allows you to see how clean the floor actually is after steaming

I used a regular metal dryer exhaust tube. And for the winter months I recycle the hot air with an indoor lint trap found here:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008RNPOIU/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc;=1

I've just spot cleaned it. It is primarily decorative. I would recommend doing the dryer with spot cleaning rather than puttting it in a washing machine.

No if you have a vent door on the out side of the house, it opens when you use your dryer, closes to keep rain, heat, bugs, small creators, out of the house. Yes the vent trap goes in the dryer vent line near the dryer so you can clean it.

in my house i ran the vent threw the floor--however this my not be possible to do in every case--i would suggest going to hardware store and getting enough flexible dryer hose to reach the nearest window--hope this might help

Every now and then I take my unit apart (remove screws from feet and slide out) and blow the dust from inside the cabinet. clean with damp cloth...allow to completely dry. reassemble. Do this only if cleaning the ceramic plates doesn't help. Make sure it's NOT PLUGGED IN. Be very careful. High voltage inside.

I pulled the dryer out. Removed the flexible hose and cleaned it with the tool outside, as a great deal of lent and dust came out. I then ran it through the vent pipe going from the wall near the dryer and under my kitchen floor to the outside vent. I actually disconnected the pipe into two section and brought them into the back yard due to all of the lent and dust. I do not think it was made to go though the dryer itself. I ran my vacuum hose up into the dryer vent from the back and from the lent trap.

Unplug unit and allow it to cool to room temperature before very carefully and gently wiping all inner surfaces with a soft cloth (do not use paper towels, as paper residue can cause shorting of heating elements), moistened with hot water and wrung out. Repeat until all food residue is removed. Allow to dry, and wipe carefully with dry cloth to remove any residue.

Well I'm going to be honest to be considered 'code' all dryers should vent outside, big or small. They do sell kits that will vent your dryer inside but they are basically just a cup of water which the discharge blows into in hopes the water catches the dust. They don't do the best job at catching dust. Another option would be to get a HEPA rated vacuum bag and cut a hole in it then stick your hose in and duct tape around it until you have a perfect seal. When the bag gets too full just change it with another. Doing this will still dump all the humidity and heat into your living space which may or may not be a problem. Your best option is if you are able to make modifications to your apartment or live in a house then get a contractor to install a proper vent to the outside for you through the wall.

Let the unit completely cool down. Use a plastic 1/2 teaspoon to clean out the ridges and the hard stuff, then wipe with a damp cloth everywhere you see, until completely clean. Then use a dry cloth to finish the job!

the simplest and cheapest solution is what my mother does in winter - just put a woman's stocking over the vent in back. Periodically clean lint. That's all. In summer, just open the window.

If you are angry, please contact the company. Like you, I am a customer. This vent was quite stiff, so I had to use my boot on the dial to open it. Since it is not screwed down, it is possible to put it in a sink of hot water to scrub it.

You can unscrew the back where the air intake is, and clean out the hair/dust trapped on the grate inside, but there's not a separate filter. It is an awesome hair dryer.
