Dirty fluff filters increase the power consumption and increase the required drying time.

Clean the fluff filter after each drying cycle:

1. Open the door and remove all fluff from it.

2. Pull out the two-part fluff filter.

3. Remove the fluff from the fluff filter recess. Ensure that no fluff falls into the open shaft.
