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 restrict-
ed. 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.
Small items, e.g. babies socks, may fall onto the filter.
These should be removed so that the filter is not
restricted.
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.
Grip the centre rib and pull the filter upwards and for-
wards through the door seal (see diagram).
Open the filter, and remove the fluff that has collected
on the inside.
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.

be fitted so that the symbols, shown on the filter above,

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.
The quantity of Single items of clothes or small loads may take disproportionally
clothes to be dried longer to dry. It is more energy efficient to dry larger loads.
How dry you want As it takes longer to fully dry clothes than to have them ready for
the clothes 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.

them and return them to the dryer. THERE ARE HOWEVER SOME
