Condenser

The condenser is a very important part of your dryer. This is where the moisture is removed form the air so there is no need for an outside exhaust. If the condenser is not properly maintained, it will greatly increase energy consumption and drying time. The condenser should be cleaned 3 or 4 times a year, or anytime the CLEAN CONDENSER light blinks.

1. Push the tap and open the condenser

cover.

2. Unlock the inner plate by rotating the locking

levers on either side of the plate. Then slide the plate out of the opening.

3. Carefully slide the condenser straight out of

the housing using the finger ring at the center. Use care when handling the condenser to prevent damage that could reduce its efficiency.

4. Thoroughly clean the condenser by

running tap water through it from both the ends and the sides.

5. Slide the clean condenser into the housing.

Make sure it is oriented as shown in the drawing in step 3.

6. Insert the inner plate into the opening in front

of the condenser, then rotate the locking tabs to lock it in place. Then close the front cover.
