Cleaning the Lint Filters

Caution

Clean the lint filters in the proper way referring to the following instructions. Failure to do so, the lint that is accumulated on the heat exchanger may not be cleaned properly.
When the lint builds up onto the filters, it will cause less efficient drying performance and an increase in drying time.

Note

Unload all of the laundries from the appliance before pull out the lint filters.
Put the lint filters back in place after cleaning. If the lint filters are not in the appliance, you can not operate the appliance.
When cleaning the filters, the lint should be thrown in the trash and not washed through the drain in order to avoid spreading microplastics in the used water system.

Pull out the inner filter from the outer filter and then open the inner filter.
- Open the filter by unfolding it in the direction of the arrows.
Remove large clusters of lint by hand, then use a vacuum cleaner to clean remaining lint.
- Micro lint can build up on both filters and affect the drying performance. Micro lint should be cleaned with a dry cloth or with a very soft tooth brush.
- Avoid using excessive force to prevent damaging the filter.
- Dry the filter completely if the filter is moist. Failing to do so will cause odour to form in the appliance.
- Throw any accumulated lint in the waste bin.
Insert the inner filter into the outer filter.

Remove large clusters of lint by hand, then use a vacuum cleaner to clean remaining lint.
- A soft tooth brush or cloth can also be used to clean off any Stubborn Micro lint.
- Avoid using excessive force to prevent damaging the filter.
- Throw any accumulated lint in the waste bin.
Note
- Ensure the side of the filter is closed properly. Failure to do so, any lint accumulated on the filter may get into the appliance and may cause degradation of the drying performance.
- Dry the filter completely if it is moist. Failure to do so may result in odour in the appliance.
Insert the inner filter into the outer filter and close the outer filter.
Reinsert both the lint filters to the dryer.
Caution
- Do not load or remove any clothes when the lint filter is not in place. The clothes can drop into the filter inlet and it may cause the appliance to malfunction.
