How to remove and clean the Fluff Filter
Position of front 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 machine.
Small items, e.g. babies socks, may fall onto the filter. These should be removed so that the filter is not restricted.
WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE THE DRYER WITHOUT CLEANING THE FILTER AFTER EACH DRYING CYCLE. FAILURE TO CLEAN THE FILTER MAY RESULT IN A FIRE HAZARD.

Grip the plastic handle and pull filter upwards (see diagram below). The fluff that has collected can now be removed.
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
It is essential that the filter is replaced correctly, with the words ‘LIFT TO REMOVE FILTER’ facing you. Ensure the filter is fully located flush into the tumble dryer trim.
