LINT BUILD-UP IS A FIRE HAZARD
FA clean lint filter reduces drying times, saves energy and
avoids overheating. Overheating may also damage your clothes.
What happens if I forget to clean the lint filter?
DRYING GUIDE
Your load, when dry must not exceed the rated capacity.
(See page 6 for a table of average weights of laundry items)
Always check our labels for the drying symbols which the
International Care Labeling Code now uses.
During the drying cycle, if you want to
add or take out clothes , or
check the dryness of the load,
turn down the timer to 'Airing' for at least one minute before
opening the door. This is to prevent scorching or possible self
combustion of the fabric.
Fabric softeners or similar products should not be used in a
tumble dryer to eliminate the effects of static electricity unless
this practice is specifically recommended by the manufacturer
of the fabric softener or product.
Note: We strongly advise against the use of fabric conditioners
of the sheet type that are added to the clothes in the drum. These
products may lead to rapid blockage of the lint filter and inef-
ficient operation of your dryer.
Important Safety Instructions
Ensure the lint filter "clicks" when replacing. It can be inserted
into the pocket either way.
Never operate your dryer without the lint filter.
Do not allow lint to build up around your dryer.
A torn or damaged lint filter must be replaced immediately.
Overloading can increase lint build-up because the airflow
is reduced.
To avoid potential fire hazards, we recommend that you pay a
qualified service technician to periodically clean your dryer.
You must do this also when you change your mounting from
upright to inverted, or vice versa.

setting for these fabrics. Always stretch them out immedi-
ately after drying.

waterproof napkins, curtains, tablecloths, shower caps,
clothes fitted with foam rubber pads, pillows, galoshes, or

dryer could be picked up by your clothes the next time
you use the dryer, and irritate your skin.
You must clean this lint filter after every load.
