40 MAINTENANCE NOTE • Warm air is expelled through the ventilation grille. • The installation location should have adequate ventilation to avoid pulling in the air from nearby fuel-burning appliances. 3 Reassemble the plug onto the drain tube and reclip the drain tube into its holder. CAUTION • If the plug is not securely inserted into the drain tube, water will leak out and could cause damage. Draining the Remaining Condensed Water After drying clothes, a small quantity of condensed water may sit in the base of the appliance and cause odors. Drain the remaining water regularly to reduce any unpleasant odors from the appliance. NOTE • It's better to drain the remaining water when you are going to be away for a long time, because the remaining water will stagnate and cause odors. • For best results, drain the remaining water before running Drum Care. • The remaining water can freeze inside the main drain hose(s) and affect the drying performance in cold weather. Draining the remaining water can prevent damage to the appliance from unexpected freezing. 1 Run the Air Dry cycle for 3 minutes, and then turn off the appliance. 2 Unclip the drain tube under the appliance, remove the plug and drain the remaining water.
