User manual WHIRLPOOL TRKE 6969 INSTRUCTION FOR USE

[. . . ] Do not install your dryer where it can be subject to extreme conditions, such as: poor ventilation, temperatures around freezing or above 35° C. Before running the first cycle ensure the water container and heat exchanger are correctly positioned. Only for water container top version: if possible use the hose supplied to drain the water directly into the domestic plumbing system. This will avoid having to empty the water container at the end of each drying cycle since the condensation water can be directly drained away. [. . . ] Place your dryer in a room with a temperature between 15° C and 20° C. Always select the correct programme/drying time for the load in order to obtain the desired drying results. When drying cotton, for example: dry iron dry and cupboard dry loads together. Start with the iron dry programme/drying time setting, remove the laundry to be ironed at the end of that cycle and dry the remainder of the load on the cupboard dry setting. • 4. General recommendations: • Always set the programme/ time selector knob to the “0” position after use. Before cleaning or carrying out maintenance, switch off the dryer and disconnect it from the mains supply. To clean the outside of the dryer, use a neutral detergent and a damp cloth. If the lint filter mesh is clogged, clean it with water and a soft brush. Since lint can go through the filter it is necessary to clean, from time to time, the complete filter area (including below the filter) with a brush, a damp cloth or with a vacuum cleaner. If necessary, the power cable may be replaced with an identical one obtained from our After-Sales Service. The power cable must only be replaced by a qualified technician. The dryer must only be used in the household for the prescribed uses. • • • • • • • • • • • • • 13 Description of the Dryer A.
