How to remove and clean the fluff filter
Caring for your Dryer
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 parti-
cles 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. FAILURE TO CLEAN
THE FILTER MAY RESULT IN A FIRE HAZARD.
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.

After each load
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.
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.
Please note that the Drying Times stated below and on appliance
control panel are a GUIDE only and drying times are affected by:
Items such as towelling retain a lot of water after spinning, also the
suggested wash programme for small items such as T-Shirts may
sometimes incorporate a low spin speed which has the same effect.
Your drying load may contain the same type of fabric but of different
thicknesses. Thinner items will take less time to dry. Some fabrics,
such as those used for jeans are of closer texture than others and
although light when dry will be heavy after washing and spinning.
Single items of clothes or small loads may take disproportionally
longer to dry. It is more energy efficient to dry larger loads.
As it takes longer to fully dry clothes than to have them ready for
ironing, you may wish to remove some clothes when they are slightly
damp, ready for ironing and then continue to dry the remainder until
they are fully dry.
The label on the garment should tell you the correct heat setting to
select. See ‘Wash Care Labels’.
If the room in which the dryer is situated is cold, your clothes will take
longer to dry than if the room is warm.
Some bulky items such as padded jackets can be dried, with care,
and we do advise that you remove these items several times, shake
them and return them to the dryer.
THERE ARE HOWEVER SOME ITEMS THAT WE DO NOT ADVISE
YOU TO DRY: SEE ‘ITEMS NOT SUITABLE FOR TUMBLE
DRYING’
All fabrics contain a little natural moisture even when ‘dry’ and this
natural moisture should not be lost if the clothes are to remain soft
and fluffy. Clothes that are dried for too long tend to wrinkle and will
need more ironing than usual giving you extra work that the dryer
was designed to remove.
