filter must be cleaned before and after each use.
Never use the dryer without the filter in place.

Insert fingers into the four holes around the exhaust
vent shroud and pull out to remove. The filter is in 3
parts: Exhaust vent shroud, lint filter and exhaust
filter (as shown in figure 1).

Cleaning of the Air Intake Filter
The filter should be cleaned once a month. Hold
the upper and lower edges of the air intake shroud,
push upwards gently with your thumb to
disconnect the latch hook then pull outwards to
remove. Remove the filter from the shroud and
clean it with a soft brush and refit.
The lint filter is located
at the back of the drum.

Separate the filters from the shroud and remove the
lint with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner. Take care
not to damage the filters. (See fig 2).
Do not use solvents.
Do not use spray cleaners when cleaning the interior.
If the drum becomes stained, clean it with a damp
cloth and allow to dry before using.
Clean the cabinet with mild soap and water. Do not
use harsh or abrasive cleaners.
3. Re-installing the Filter
Reinstall in the reverse order, align the recess in the centre
of the filters with the spigot in the centre of the drum and
ensure that it is fitted firmly. (as shown in figure 3).
