Lint bucket

The AeroSmart dryer’s lint removal system is unique. Unlike other dryers, the AeroSmart dryer automatically removes the lint for you, from the lint screen – all you have to do is tip the lint out!

The lint filter is hidden behind the lint bucket. As the air passes through this filter the lint is caught on the fine mesh. Once the lint is about 1⁄8” (2 mm) thick it comes into contact with a scraper which deposits it into the bucket. This process is automatically performed every time lint builds up on the filter.

Apart from the benefit of not having to scrape the lint after every cycle, it also means the drying efficiency is not affected by lint build-up during the drying cycle.

The lint bucket is located inside the dryer on the left-hand side. You can remove it by gently pulling the handle and lifting outwards. It slots easily back into place.

This lint bucket does not need to be cleaned as regularly as other dryer’s lint filters. The lint bucket only needs to be emptied before the lint reaches the top of the transparent section.

Important!

It is important that you run your dryer with the lint bucket in place at all times.
