CLEANING THE LINT FILTER

The lint filter should be cleaned after every drying

cycle. Regular cleaning is important to maintain drying

efficiency.

The 'CLEAN FILTER' indicator

the lint filter is too blocked and requires cleaning.

A alarm will also sound after operation stops for 5

minutes or until the dryer door is opened, whichever

comes first.

If the lint filter is not cleaned, the appliance will

eventually stop operating and an 'error' code will show

on the digital display

Shooting section on page 10 for details.

Clean the lint filter as follows:

Reach inside the drum of the dryer and remove the

lint pocket/filter from the dryer by pulling on the four

finger slots of the lint pocket/filter.

Separate the lint filter from the lint pocket by pulling

apart as shown.

Remove any lint from the lint filter by using your

hands, a soft cloth or a soft brush as shown. If

removal of the lint proves difficult, the lint filter may

also be cleaned with the assistance of COLD water

and a soft cloth or brush.

If water is used to clean the lint filter, then

it MUST BE thoroughly dried before it can

be re-installed.

Place the lint filter back into the lint pocket, before

attempting to push lint pocket and lint filter back

together ensure that the slotted ring of the lint filter

is forward most.

CLEANING THE BACK FILTER

The back filter is located inside the drum behind

the lint pocket/filter. It should be cleaned after every

drying cycle. It can usually be cleaned without

removal by using a soft cloth or brush.

Ensure dust removed from the back filter

does not remain in the drum.

IMPORTANT

If removal is required for cleaning, loosen the two

white plastic screws by hand or with the aid of a

phillip's screw driver.

When re-inserting the back filter, align the holes in

the back filter to those in the back of the drum as

shown, insert the two white plastic screws and

hand tighten.
