Periodic Cleaning

Wiping the Moisture Sensor
This device senses the moisture level of the clothes
during operation. It must be cleaned regularly to
remove any buildup of lime scale on the surface of
the sensor.
Wipe the sensors inside the drum.
CAUTION
• Do not wipe the moisture sensor with abrasive
materials. Use a dry acrylic sponge to clean the
sensor.
Cleaning the Cool Air Inlet Grille
Vacuum the cool air inlet grille 3 - 4 times a year to
make sure there is no buildup of lint or dirt that
can cause improper airflow. Always unplug the
appliance before cleaning or vacuuming it.
