CARE AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
The tumble dryer does not require special care. To best ensure a long life, however, certain precautions are
recommended (see also page 3).
CLEANING THE LINT FILTERS
To ensure proper circulation in your tumble dryer and minimize drying times, you should clean the lint filter
after every load. To do this, follow the instructions below:
1. Remove the filter on the door from its holder by
pulling it upwards (Fig. 1).
2. Gently run your hand across it to collect the lint. If
you prefer, you can clean it with a soft brush.
3. Replace the filter into its holder.
4. Clean out the filters in the door opening by running
your finger gently across them to collect the lint.
EMPTYING THE CONDENSED WATER TANK
WARNING!
Before performing the operations described below, make sure that the power is off and the unit
is unplugged.
If the dryer is not installed to pump out the condensed water into a drain or sink, the condensation water
collects in the water container to the left of the control panel. You should empty the container every two to
three dryer loads, depending on the dampness of the clothes when they go into the dryer.
To empty the container, follow the steps below:
1. Slowly and carefully remove the tank (Fig. 3). Be careful not to tilt the unit
and let water spill out.
2. The outlet is on the rear right of the water tank. Empty the water into a sink
or drain. (Note: The condensed water is safe to use for watering plants.)
3. Replace the tank into the slot, making sure it is securely in place.
NOTE: If the water tank fills during a drying cycle, the machine will stop and
the Drain indicator light will flash. To resume the program, empty the
tank and press the drain button for about ten seconds to allow the drain pump to pump the water in
the sump area back into the water tank. When the Drain light stops flashing, reset the Program
knob to the desired setting to restart the dryer.
CLEANING THE CONTROL PANEL
WARNING!
Before performing the operations described below, make sure that the power is off and the unit
is unplugged.
To clean the control panel, use only a warm, damp cloth. To prevent penetration of liquid into the door lock
and electrical components, never spray water or cleaning solvents on the control panel.
Also, never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on the outer surfaces because they will scratch the
finish and could remove the writing on the control panel. Some paper towels may also scratch the finish.
NOTE: If you use dryer sheets, the lint filter should be washed
periodically with a mild soap and water to remove any small
particles that may have collected in the holes. Remove the
filters from the door by gently prying them out with a flat-
head screwdriver (Fig 2).
