How to remove and clean the Fluff Filter

A very important part of your Dryer is the filter located on the inside of the door. It is there to trap the particles of lint and fluff which are normally blown away when clothes are dried on the washing line.

If the filter is allowed to become blocked, the passage of warm air through the drum will be severely restricted. This means your clothes will take much longer than normal to dry and the cost of drying them increased.

The Vent Hose, if fitted (see pages 5 and 6), should be kept free of any possible accumulation of fluff, lint and condensate (water) by frequently shaking it out.

WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE THE DRYER WITHOUT CLEANING THE FILTER AFTER EACH DRYING CYCLE. FAILURE TO CLEAN THE FILTER MAY RESULT IN A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD. DO NOT ALLOW LINT TO COLLECT AROUND THE DRYER.

To remove the Filter

Simply place your fingers into the section provided at the top of the filter (see diagram below) and pull filter upwards.

You can now remove the fluff that has collected on the mesh.

Don’t be alarmed at the amount of fluff you may find on the filter; it’s all

part of the wearing, washing and drying process.

To replace the filter push firmly into position on the inside of the door.

WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE THE DRYER WITHOUT THE FILTER IN POSITION.
