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 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 machine. Small items, e.g. babies socks, may fall onto the filter. These should be removed so that the filter is not Position of front filter restricted. WARNING: NEVER USE SHEET FABRIC CONDITIONER, IT MAY FALL INTO THE FILTER AND RESTRICT THE AIRFLOW THROUGH THE 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. To remove the filter Lift to remove filter 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. WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE THE DRYER WITHOUT THE FILTER IN POSITION 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. Guide to Drying Times The amount of water remaining in the clothes after spinning The type of fabric The quantity of clothes to be dried How dry you want the clothes The heat setting you have selected The temperature of the room Bulky items 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.

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. Caring for your Dryer When finished After each load As necessary Lubrication Your tumble dryer needs very little attention. The following simple steps will keep it performing well.

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.
