CARE AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
CLEANING THE LINT FILTER
The wear on fabrics in a tumble dryer is insignificant.
The lint caught in the lint filter is dust and fiber residue
that has been formed when the garments have been
worn. The lint filter must be cleaned after each load. If
this is not done, drying performance will suffer, as
insufficient air will pass through the drum. The machine
may also overheat after a while, which will cause it to
stop automatically.
To clean the lint filter, follow the steps below:
1. Grasp the handle
and pull it toward
you.
2. Remove the filter
from the holder.
3. Open the filter and
gently brush away
any lint.
4. Fold the filter
together and return
it to the holder on
the door.
5. Push the holder in
until it snaps into
place.
NOTE: If you use dryer sheets (not recommended),
you may occasionally need to wash the lint
filter with warm water and a soft brush to clean
any blocked holes.
CLEANING THE CONTROL PANEL
To clean the control panel, use only a soft, warm, damp
(not wet) cloth. To prevent penetration of water into the
door lock and electrical components, never spray water
or cleaning solvent of any kind on the control panel.
Also, never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on
the outer surfaces because they will scratch the finish
and possibly remove the writing on the control panels.
Some paper towels may also scratch the finish.
CLEANING THE EXHAUST HOSE
T701, T731, AND T761 ONLY
About once a year you should remove the exhaust hose
and clean it. At this time, you should also clean the
exhaust outlet on the machine and the ventilation duct.
Periodically, you should check the dryer exhaust outside
to be sure the air flow is strong and nothing is blocking
the vent.
EMPTYING THE CONDENSED
WATER CONTAINERT721 AND
T781 ONLY
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 three to five dryer
loads, depending on the spin speed you use when you
wash the clothes. For example, clothes spun at 800 rpm
will have more moisture when you take them out of the
washer than clothes spun at 1400 rpm. Therefore, the
dryer will have to remove more water.
If the container becomes too full, the machine with shut
down. To restart the program, empty the container and
press Start. It may be a few minutes before the machine
starts because it drains the excess water from the sump
before it restarts.
NOTE: Do not remove the water container while the
machine is running.
To empty the container, follow the steps below:
1. Slowly pull out the condensed water container. The
water drains from the back, so be careful to keep
the drawer handle tilted down.
2. Pour out the water.
NOTE: The condensed
water is soft and safe to use
for watering plants.
3. Replace the container. You should hear it snap into
place.
