The filters are essential parts for drying. They are intended
to collect the lint formed during the drying process. In case
of clogged filters, the air flow inside the dryer would be
seriously affected: the drying times would be longer, the
energy consumption would increase and the dryer could be
damaged. If these procedures are not carried out properly,
the dryer may not start.
NOTE: After cleaning the filters the relevant indicator remains on;
this is normal, it will disappear when you start a new drying cycle.
