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 warm 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. WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE THE DRYER WITHOUT CLEANING THE FILTER AFTER EACH DRYING CYCLE. Grip the centre rib and pull the filter upwards and forwards through the door seal (see diagram). Open the filter, and remove the fluff that has collected on the inside. WARNING: NEVER USE SHEET FABRIC CONDITIONER. IT MAY FALL INTO THE FILTER AND RESTRICT THE AIRFLOW THROUGH THE DRYER To remove the filter Wash or vacuum clean the filter occasionally.

Ensure the filter is fully located into the tumble dryer duct. 13 The Controls - TDL12 and TDL13 Heat Switch (OUT low heat, IN high heat) Timer Knob Drying Guide TDL12 Drying Times Turn the timer clockwise to select the required drying time.
