Safety Instructions (Continued)
• Item(s) that have previously been cleaned in, washed in, or spotted with petrol/gasoline, industrial chemicals used
only for cleaning, dry-cleaning solvents or other flammable or explosive substances are highly flammable. Highly
flammable or explosive commonly found around the house include acetone, (nail polish remover) denatured alcohol,
petrol/gasoline, kerosene, some spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers should not be put in the dryer.
Items containing foam rubber (also known as latex foam) or similarly textured rubber-like materials. Foam rubber
materials can produce fire by spontaneous combustion when heated.
• Rubber-backed articles, clothes fitted with foam rubber pads, pillows, rubber boots and rubber-coated sports
shoes.
For your safety, and to reduce the risk of fire or an explosion, DO NOT store or use petrol or other inflammable vapours
and liquids near your dryer.
CLEANING THE LINT FILTER
WARNING! LINT BUILD-UP IS A FIRE HAZARD.
A clean lint filter greatly improves your dryers efficiency and reduces drying times, saves energy and avoids
overheating. Overheating may also damage your clothes.
Tip! If your lint filter isn’t emptied between drying loads, we estimate the drying time can double after 4-5 cycles and
triple after 8 cycles. Aside from creating a risk of fire, this results in a significant increase in energy consumption to dry
your clothes.
You must empty your lint filter after each and every load.
The lint filter is located on the inside of the door- shown below (Figure 1).
Figure 1- Lint filter location within your vented dryer.
To remove the lint filter, open the dryer door and simply lift the plastic filter out from its housing. You can click the lint
filter open to allow easy access to remove the lint. Ensure that the plastic filter is clicked closed again before replacing
into your clothes dryer.
Tip!
The lint filter can only be inserted into its housing in one way.
Important!
• Never operate your dryer without the lint filter in its correct position.
• Do not allow lint to build up around the dryer (on the door itself, inside the drum, around the lint filter itself, etc).
• A torn or damaged lint filter must be replaced immediately- cease use until this is replaced.
• Do not overload your dryer. Overloading can increase lint build-up because the airflow is reduced.
Tip! To avoid potential fire hazards, we recommend that you pay for a qualified appliance technician to inspect and
clean your dryer periodically.
