The door filter is located on the inside of the door, and can be removed by sliding out, so any dirt or debris can be wiped off.

The door aperture filter is located inside the front of the drum, and can be easily lifted out and removed for cleaning.

The door to the condenser box is located on the front of the tumble dryer. Open it by pressing in the catch, and remove the inner door by turning the clips.
