- Remove all of the clothes from the dryer.
- Pull out the water container and empty it.
- Pour 34 oz. (1 liter) of clean water slowly into the opening of the water container compartment, then slide the empty water container back in. Pouring quickly spills the water, and more than 51 oz. (1.5 liters) makes it leak out.
- Turn on the dryer.
- Press the Condenser Care button.
- Press the Start/Pause button. The condenser cleaning takes about 1 hour.
- Empty the water container after the cleaning is finished.
