Drying System Maintenance Procedures
Water Container Full (if direct drain kit not installed)
A condensing dryer does not expel moisture-fi lled 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
light illuminates on the dryer control panel.
If the water container becomes full during a drying cycle,
the indicator will illuminate and the dryer will 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.
CAUTION
Do not drink or prepare food with the condensed water
from your dryer water. It can cause health problems to
people and pets.
4. Return container fully before continuing operation of dryer.
