The 

TIMER 

knob sets the drying time: rotate it clockwise, 

NEVER 

COUNTER-CLOCKWISE

, until the indictor is pointing to the drying 

time you want to select.

The Empty Water indicator light signals that the water container is 

full and must be emptied. The light will take a few seconds to go 

out after replacing the empty water container, the dryer must be 

running for this to happen.

Note: If the water container fills up the indicator lights, the heat is 

turned off and your laundry will not dry.
