CARE AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS CLEANING THE LINT FILTER The wear on fabrics in a tumble dryer is insignificant. The lint caught in the lint filter is dust and fiber residue that has been formed when the garments have been worn. The lint filter must be cleaned after each load. If this is not done, drying performance will suffer, as insufficient air will pass through the drum. The machine may also overheat after a while, which will cause it to stop automatically. To clean the lint filter, follow the steps below: 1. Grasp the handle and pull it toward you. 2. Remove the filter from the holder. 3. Open the filter and gently brush away any lint. 4. Fold the filter together and return it to the holder on the door. 5. Push the holder in until it snaps into place. CLEANING THE EXHAUST HOSE- T711, T731, AND T761 ONLY About once a year you should remove the exhaust hose and clean it. At this time, you should also clean the exhaust outlet on the machine and the ventilation duct. Periodically, you should check the dryer exhaust outside to be sure the air flow is strong and nothing is blocking the vent. NOTE: If you use dryer sheets (not recommended), you may occasionally need to wash the lint filter with warm water and a soft brush to clean any blocked holes. CLEANING THE CONTROL PA N E L To clean the control panel, use only a soft, warm, damp (not wet) cloth. To prevent penetration of water into the door lock and electrical components, never spray water or cleaning solvent of any kind on the control panel. Also, never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on the outer surfaces because they will scratch the finish and possibly remove the writing on the control panels. Some paper towels may also scratch the finish. Page 22
