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 restrict-
ed. 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 for-
wards 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 dry-
ing 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.
WARNING: NEVER USE SHEET FAB-
RIC CONDITIONER. IT MAY FALL INTO
THE FILTER AND RESTRICT THE AIR-
FLOW THROUGH THE DRYER
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.
WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE THE DRYER
