 Some drying programmes are not compatible with all 5 sensor drying levels.

Dryness levels available

 

Damp:

 the most delicate level which makes sure that your clothes are not dripping wet. After a  

 

 

hand-wash the perfect level to then hang your clothes if you do not want to tumble dry them all the way to  

 

the end.

 

Iron Dry: 

a very delicate drying, with the highest residual humidity. It is useful for garments you would like to  

 

iron afterwards.

 

Hanger Dry:

 just the perfect drying level to hang the garments up.

 

Cupboard Dry:

 the garments are completely dry and are ready to be folded and placed in the cupboard.

 

Ready to Wear:

 the strongest level, used for clothes to be worn straight away once the cycle is completed.      

Timed Dry

display will reduce the selected time each time you press and release this button

 and then repeats. If the Timed Dry option is 

not available the display will flash and the buzzer beeps three times.The selected time remains displayed after the 

programme starts and cannot be changed after the Start/Pause Button  , is pressed.

You can either choose a sensor dry level or a drying time.

Delay Timer

After selecting a Programme that has a Delay Start Option a delay start time can be selected. 

Each press of the Delay start button 

 advances the delay setting in 1 hour increments from 

“1h” 

to

 “24h”

 then 

“OFF”

 and then after five seconds cancels the delay.

For delays of 10 hours or more the display counts down the time in hours until 10 hours, then the display shows 

“9:59” 

and then counts down in minutes. For delays of 9 hours or less the display shows hours and minutes and 

then counts down in minutes for all of the delay. 

After the Start/Pause Button 

 is pressed the time cannot be changed.

When the delay period finished the   symbol is off and the 

Time to End

 is displayed.

If you have chosen a timed drying the display during programming will show the drying time only in the timed 

drying display in the middle. After having pressed start the machine will turn the time display on and visualize 

the countdown of the programme time.

Time to End

If the delay icon   is off the time displayed is the 

Time to End

 of the programme running.

When timed programmes are selected the time displayed throughout the cycle is the actual time remaining. 

When an Automatic programme is selected the time displayed is an estimate of the time remaining. 

When the programme is selected the display shows the time required to dry a full load, after around 10 minutes 

the controller calculates a better estimate of the cycle time. 

The time to end is displayed in hours and minutes and counts down each minute. 

The colon between the hours and minutes display flashes to show that the time is counting down. 

The Display also shows if there is a problem with your dryer, if this occurs the display will show F followed by a 

fault code number, the four option lights and the pause light will also flash Orange 

(see Troubleshooting).
