Important Information
Heat Pump Filter Unit...
! You MUST clean the fluff from the filter every five drying cycles to maintain the correct drying performance.
However for optimum performance and to save energy we recommend that it is cleaned before each drying
cycle.
! Failure to clean the heat pump filter will reduce the drying performance and could cause premature failure of your
dryer. To maintain drying performance we recommend you clean this filter after every cycle.
● Check that:
- The 4 clips are
resecured back
into their horizontal
‘lock’ position.
! WARNING:
The front of the heat pump
is made of thin metal
plates. Take care that you
do not damage these or
cut yourself when
cleaning, removing or
replacing the filter unit.
