How to remove and clean the Fluff 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 war m air through the dr um 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 machine.
Small items, e.g. babies socks, may fall onto the filter.
These should be removed so that the filter is not
restricted.
Grip the plastic handle and pull filter upwards (see
diagram). The fluff that has collected can now be
removed.
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, with
the words ‘LIFT TO REMOVE FILTER’ facing you.
Ensure the filter is fully located flush into the
tumble dryer trim.
