White (N) and red (L2) wires on power cord. Check power
cord connections for neutral connection on the center
terminal. 240 volts applied to the control, so it will protect
itself.
Remove the lint from the fi lter before every load. With the
lint removed, hold the fi lter up to a light to see if it is dirty
or clogged. If it looks dirty, follow the cleaning instructions.
With some loads that produce high amounts of lint, it may
be necessary to clean the fi lter during the cycle.
Some fabrics are lint producers (i.e., a fuzzy white cotton
towel) and should be dried separately from clothes that are
lint trappers (i.e., a pair of black linen pants).
Use a fabric softener to reduce static electricity. Be sure to
follow the manufacturer's instructions. Over drying a load of
laundry can cause a buildup of static electricity. Adjust settings
and use a shorter drying time, or use AUTO DRY cycles.
Divide extra large loads into smaller loads for drying.
Check pockets thoroughly before washing and drying clothes.
Use a fabric softener or the STATIC SHIELD option, if
equipped, to reduce static electricity. Be sure to follow the
manufacturer's instructions.
Over drying a load of laundry can cause a buildup of static
electricity. Adjust settings and use a shorter drying time, or
use AUTO DRY cycles. Select a LESS DRY setting on AUTO
DRY cycles, if necessary.
These fabrics are naturally more prone to static buildup. Try
using fabric softener, or use LESS DRY and/or shorter TIMED
DRY time settings.
Load only one to fi ve garments (or a single bulky item).
Do not mix fabric types. STEAM REFRESH is most eff ective
on 70/30 cotton/polyblends. Do not use on 100% cotton
items.
Steam is invisible. However, under some conditions, the
condensed fog may be seen, or condensation will form
on the inside of the door glass and may be seen dripping
down the glass.
Some odors are diffi cult to remove. Fabrics containing
certain diffi cult odors or very strong odors may not refresh
well and should be washed or dry cleaned instead.
