How do I clean my fluff filter?
Tumble dryerTo clean your Hotpoint dryer filter simply open the door of your appliance and look for the fluff filter (located in the bottom of your door opening).
Pull out the filter and clean the fluff build up. If there is a large quantity of fluff you may use a vacuum cleaner to remove this.
We recommend you clean this filter out each time you use your dryer to ensure your machine works efficiently.
