Lint Removal System - Fisher & Paykel Aerosmart DE27CW1 Product Information

Lint laden air passes through the small holes in the outlet end of the drum. (The small
holes around the lint bucket). The lint removal system is directly behind these holes. As
this air moves through the holes it is forced through the lint filter, the fan then sucks the
air down through the duct and out the back of the dryer.
The lint filter in the AeroSmart™ dryer is circular and is positioned next to the
drum. When the drum rotates the lint filter rotates with it. The filter is made
of very fine 200-micron mesh. By using such a fine mesh we can catch more
lint when it flows through the lint removal system. With less lint flowing into
the ducting there is less chance of lint clogging up this area.
There is a scraper situated on the top of the lint
collecting housing which the filter moves past. As lint
on the filter builds up the lint begins to touch the
scraper, and is automatically scraped off. Because
the scrapper is directly above the lint bucket it falls
straight in.
The mesh on the lint filter gets cleaned 2 to 3 times a
cycle, so the airflow doesn't deteriorate as the cycle
progresses.
The Lint Removal System is self-clearing. If the lint
bucket overflows due to the user not emptying it the
AeroSmart™ dryer can clear itself. The user just
needs to empty the bucket and run the dryer on a
cycle for roughly 20 minutes, the dryer will free all
the trapped lint and will re-deposit it back into the lint
bucket.
