How to remove and clean the fluff filter
Caring for your Dryer

As necessary
Lubrication
Your tumble dryer needs very little attention. The following simple
steps will keep it performing well.
Switch off electricity and remove plug.
Always clean the filter and turn the drum by hand to check that small
items like handkerchiefs do not get missed.
Clean exterior metal and plastic surfaces with a damp cloth or silicon
polish only. Regularly check and clean if necessary, the vent hose
and any permanent venting fixture to ensure that there has been no
accumulation of fluff or lint during the drying process. Clean fluff
from the area below the fluff filter and the rear vent tube.
Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring agents, acids, chlorine
bleach or metal polish to clean any part of the machine. These could
damage the machine.
Your tumble dryer uses special bearing components. Lubrication by
the user is not necessary and must not be attempted.
We strongly recommend that all appliances are regularly checked
for electrical and mechanical safety.
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.
WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE THE DRYER
WITHOUT CLEANING THE FILTER AFTER
EACH DRYING CYCLE.
WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE THE DRYER WITHOUT THE FILTER IN POSITION.
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.
