When the container is full the `EMPTY WATER' indicator on the control panel will light, and the container MUST be emptied. However, we recommend that the container is emptied after each drying cycle. NOTE: Very little water will collect during the first few cycles of a new machine as an internal reservoir is filled first. To remove the container 1. Gently pull the bottom of the kickplate so that it unclips from the dryer. The top section can then be unhinged allowing the kickplate to be completely removed. 2. Pull firmly on the handgrip and slide the water container out of the dryer. Support the container with both hands. When full, the water container will weigh about 4kg. 13 40002267. qxd 26/11/2004 12:36 Page 14 3. 5. Open the lid located on the top of the container and empty the water.
