How to remove and clean the fluff filter
Position of 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.
Small items, e.g. babies socks, may fall onto the filter.
These should be removed so that the filter is not
restricted.
Grip the centre rib and pull the filter upwards and
forwards through the door seal (see diagram).
Open the filter, and remove the fluff that has collected
on the inside.
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.
It is essential that the filter is replaced correctly. It
must be fitted so that the symbols, shown on the filter
above, face towards the front of the dryer. Ensure the
filter is fully located into the tumble dryer duct.

FABRIC CONDITIONER. IT MAY FALL
INTO THE FILTER AND RESTRICT THE
AIRFLOW THROUGH THE DRYER
