Trial run
In order to remove any dust and grease, which may be in the drum from the
manufacture and transportation processes, we recommend you run the dryer with
some clean, damp rags before using it for the first time with your laundry.
Make sure the dryer is properly installed, plugged in and power is supplied.
Put some clean, damp rags into the drum.
Turn the
Program
dial to the “Time” program.
Press the
Time
button and set a 30 minute drying time.
Press the
Start/Pause
button and let the program run to the end.
Remove the rags and clean the lint filter (see page 29).
Child lock
The heat pump dryer is equipped with a child lock which locks the buttons to prevent
unauthorised access to the controls while the machine is running.
To set the child lock, while the machine is on, press and hold the
Time
and
Dry Level
buttons for several seconds. When the child lock
icon lights up on the display,
all buttons and knob operations are ineffective except for the off [ O ] position. (In an
emergency you can still power the machine off.)
To cancel the child lock, press and hold the
Time
and
Dry Level
buttons for several
seconds.
NOTE:
The function will be cancelled when you open the door or take out the filter
drawer during operation, or when the water container is full and needs to be emptied.
You can set the child lock again when you restart the machine.
Automatically controlled drying
Choose one of the automatically controlled drying programs if you do not want to set a
drying time. An in-built sensor monitors the moisture level in the items to be dried and
adjusts the drying time accordingly for optimal results. Automatically controlled drying
is NOT available in the “Warm Air”, “Refresh” and “Time” programs.
The program duration is calculated automatically on the basis of the maximum load
accepted for each type of fabric and the required drying level. When the program
starts, the remaining time (counted down in minutes) is shown on the display.
Time-controlled drying
Choose the “Time” program for drying less common loads, for example, when you
require a longer drying time for thick or multilayered textiles or a shorter drying time for
individual items or small volumes. The default drying time is 20 minutes, which you can
increase in 10 minute steps by pressing the
Time
button.
