CAUTION
• Do not drop the filter on the floor.
• Be careful not to get your fingernails caught in
the filter when you handle the filter.
• The lint filter should be back into its original
position after being washed to avoid damage to
your laundry items. Do not operate the
appliance with the lint filters removed.
• If the mesh hole of the lint filter is clogged,
foreign objects in the laundry may not be
filtered.
• Do not leave iron objects (such as clothes pins,
hairpins, etc.) in the lint filter as they promote
rust.
