How to remove and clean the Fluff Filter

A very important part of your Dryer is the Fluff Filter at
the front edge of the drum. It's there to trap the
particles of lint and fluff which are normally blown away
when clothes are dried on the washing line.
If the filter is allowed to become blocked, the passage
of war m air through the drum will be severely
restricted. This means your clothes will take much
longer than normal to dry and the cost of drying them
will be increased. It may also damage your machine.
