Sfety Instructions (Continued)
• Item(s) that have previously been cleaned in, washed in, or spotted with petrol/gasoline, industrial chemicals used
only for cleaning, dry-cleaning solvents or other ammable or explosive substances are highly ammable. Highly
ammable or explosive commonly found around the house include acetone, (nail polish remover) denatured alcohol,
petrol/gasoline, kerosene, some spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers should not be put in the dryer.
Items containing foam rubber (also known as latex foam) or similarly textured rubber-like materials. Foam rubber
materials can produce re by spontaneous combustion when heated.
• Rubber-backed articles, clothes tted with foam rubber pads, pillows, rubber boots and rubber-coated sports
shoes.
For your safety, and to reduce the risk of re or an explosion, DO NOT store or use petrol or other inammable vapours
and liquids near your dryer.
CLEANING THE LINT FILTER
WARNING! LINT BUILD-UP IS A FIRE HAZARD.
A clean lint lter greatly improves your dryers eciency and reduces drying times, saves energy and avoids
overheating. Overheating may also damage your clothes.
Tip! If your lint lter isn’t emptied between drying loads, we estimate the drying time can double after 4-5 cycles and
triple after 8 cycles. Aside from creating a risk of re, this results in a signicant increase in energy consumption to dry
your clothes.
You must empty your lint lter after each and every load.
The lint lter is located on the inside of the door- shown below (Figure 1).
Figure 1- Lint lter location within your vented dryer.
To remove the lint lter, open the dryer door and simply lift the plastic lter out from its housing. You can click the lint
lter open to allow easy access to remove the lint. Ensure that the plastic lter is clicked closed again before replacing
into your clothes dryer.
Tip! The lint lter can only be inserted into its housing in one way.
Important!
• Never operate your dryer without the lint lter in its correct position.
• Do not allow lint to build up around the dryer (on the door itself, inside the drum, around the lint lter itself, etc).
• A torn or damaged lint lter must be replaced immediately- cease use until this is replaced.
• Do not overload your dryer. Overloading can increase lint build-up because the airow is reduced.
Tip! To avoid potential re hazards, we recommend that you pay for a qualied appliance technician to inspect and
clean your dryer periodically.
