How to remove and clean the fluff filter

To remove the filter	A very important part of your dryer is the fluff filter at
	the front edge of the drum. It’s 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 will be
	increased. it may also damage your dryer.
	WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE THE DRYER
	WITHOUT CLEANING THE FILTER AFTER
	EACH DRYING CYCLE.

Wash or vacuum clean the filter occasionally.

Don’t be alarmed by the amount of fluff you may find on the filter. It’s part of the wearing, washing and drying process.

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

Lubrication

Your tumble dryer needs very little attention. The following simple steps will keep it performing well.

Switch off electricity and remove plug.

Always clean the filter and turn the drum by hand to check that small items like handkerchiefs do not get missed.

Clean exterior metal and plastic surfaces with a damp cloth or silicon polish only. Regularly check and clean if necessary, the vent hose and any permanent venting fixture to ensure that there has been no accumulation of fluff or lint during the drying process. Clean fluff from the area below the fluff filter and the rear vent tube.

Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring agents, acids, chlorine bleach or metal polish to clean any part of the machine. These could damage the machine.

Your tumble dryer uses special bearing components. Lubrication by the user is not necessary and must not be attempted.

We strongly recommend that all appliances are regularly checked for electrical and mechanical safety.
