World Dryer Airforce J4-973A3 Air Filter Replacement

Introduction

Occasionally the dryer air may be muffled or too hot due to a clogged filter, and so cleaning or replacement may be necessary. Disassembly of the device requires a special bit for removal of tamper-proof screws.

    • In order to change the air filter, start with the removal of the outer metal casing. Use the appropriate security bit.

    • Using the special bit, remove the large screws at the bottom of the casing.

    • To remove the case, lift the indicated spot with your hands.

    • The direction for turning the screws is different than what was indicated on the small sticker above the hole.

    • After removing the small grey filter, pull on the black, ring-shaped filter to remove it.

    • We recommend either vacuuming the filters or washing them to remove the dust that has accumulated on the filter.

    • Leave the filters out to dry for 24 hours before putting it back into use, in order to avoid water damage or electric shock!
