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.
