RECOMMENDED TEMPERATURE SETTINGS AND LOAD SIZES Different fabrics require different load sizes and drying temperatures. The table below gives recommended temperature settings and load sizes for different fabrics. Fabric Type Cotton w/out elastic and/or decorative trim Linen - white and colorfast Cotton/polyester blends Polyester/acrylic blends Rayon and acetate Washable silk and nylon * Washable wool and wool blends * Handwash wool and silk * Temp Setting Normal Normal Low Low Low Low Low Low Load Size Full Half Half Half Half Third Third Third * Always refer to the care label on the garment to determine if it can be tumble dried. Some wool and silk and hand-washable items should not be tumble dried. These items should be removed from the washer then pressed out in a terry towel to remove excess water before being hung up or laid flat to dry. 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 CONTROL PANEL To clean the control panel, use only a soft, warm, damp (not wet) rag. To prevent penetration of water into the door lock and electrical components, do not use a spray cleaner of any kind. 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 4 CLEANING THE EXHAUST HOSE 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. T720 AND T780 - EMPTYING THE WATER CONTAINER If the dryer is not installed to pump out the condensed water into a drain or sink, the condensation water collects in the water container to the left of the control panel. You should empty the container every three to five dryer loads, depending on the spin speed you use when you wash the clothes. For example, clothes spun at 800 rpm will have more moisture when you take them out of the washer than clothes spun at 1400 rpm. Therefore, the dryer will have to remove more water. NOTE: Do not remove the water container while the machine is running. 1. Pull out the container. 2. Pour out the water. 3. Replace the container. You should hear it snap into place. NOTE: The condensed water is soft and safe to use for watering plants. If the container becomes too full, the machine will shut down. To restart the program, empty the container and press Start. It may be a few minutes before the machine starts because it drains the excess water from the sump before it restarts.
