TUMBLE DRYER
Important Information
FLUFF FILTER
You must clean the fluff filter after EVERY drying cycle.
Step 1
Open the door of your dryer
Step 2
Pull out the filter (using the two
finger grips)
Step 3
Open the filter and clean any fluff
deposits from the filter mesh
Step 4
Refit the filter, with the curved
side towards you
Step 5
Make sure the filter is pushed
fully home - NEVER run the dryer
without the filter in position
Failure to clean the filter after EVERY drying cycle will affect
the drying performance of your machine.
It will take longer to dry and as a result will use more
electricity during drying.
At least every two or three months you MUST clean fluff build up around the filter housing and the vent tube.
Check the vent tube and any permanent venting fixture to make sure that there has been no accumulation of fluff or lint.
Remove lint that collects around the filter and the outlet vents.
