Drying System Maintenance Procedures
Operating Instructions
Water Container Full _, (if direct drain kit not installed)
A condensing dryer does not expel moisture-filled air to
the outside like a conventional dryer. Moisture is extracted
from the air by a condenser within the dryer. The moisture
is then collected in a built-in water container, which should
be emptied after every dried load of clothes. The container
MUST be emptied when the Water Container Full indicator
Jight iJJuminates on the dryer controJ panel
If the water container becomes full during a drying cycle,
the indicator will illuminate and the dryer wiJJ stop. Empty
and replace the water container and restart the dryer.
To empty the container:
1. Support the container as you pull it out.
2. Hold container level to prevent water from spilling.
3. Dump water container in sink or drain.

When the "Lint Filter PJugged" indicator comes on, foJJow
these steps to clean the fiJter:
1. Remove the fiIter by pulling straight up.
2. ReJease the latch on the fiJter grilJe to open the fiJter.
3. Remove trapped lint and larger particles by hand.
4. If necessary, clean filter screen with hot water.
Do not drink or prepare food with the condensed water
from your dryer water. It can cause health problems to
people and pets.
