PROGRAMS

The duration of these programs will depend on the size of the 
load, types of textiles, the spin speed used in your washer and 
any extra options selected. 

In machines equipped with display, 

the duration of the cycles is shown on the control panel.

 The 

remaining time is constantly checked and adjusted during the 
drying cycle to show the best possible estimate.
Option to use - If all your loads on Automatic Cycles are 
consistently less dry or more dry than you would like, you may 
increase or decrease the dryness level using the specific option.

OPTIONS 

These buttons allow you to personalise the selected programme 
according to personal requirements.
Not all options are available for all programmes. Some options 
may be incompatible with ones you have previously set; if so, 
you will be alerted by the buzzer and/or blinking indicators. 
If the option is available, the option indicator will stay on. The 
programme may retain some options selected in previous drying 
cycles.

Dryness Level

Press the relevant button several times to obtain a different 

level of residual moisture on your laundry. The display signals the 
level being selected. After few seconds of inactivity, the display 
returns to the main menu.

Iron Dry: 

very delicate drying. Items will be more easily 

ironed immediately after the cycle.  

Hanger Dry:

 a level intended for delicate garments ready 

to be hanged.

Cupboard Dry:

 the laundry is ready to be folded and put 

away. 

EXTRA

Extra Dry: 

for laundry intended to be worn at the end of 

the cycle.

Timed Drying

This option is to manually set the drying time. Press the 

corresponding button to set the required time for drying. An 
indicator on the control panel signals the time being selected. 

h

Start Delay

This option is for delaying the start of the cycle. Press the 

corresponding button several times to find the required delay. 
Once the max time is reached, the option is reset by pressing 
the button again. An indicator on the control panel signals the 
time being selected. After pressing the "Start/Pause" button, the 
machine signals the time remaining to the start of the cycle. If the 
door is opened, press the "Start/Pause" button once the door has 
been closed.

Crease Care

This option add a crease treatment at the end of the cycle 

by means of a periodic rotation of the drum (duration up to 10 
hours). It is particularly suitable when it is not possible to remove 
the laundry as soon as the drying ends. If this option is used 
together with the Start Delay, the crease treatment is added 
also in the Start Delay phase. This option remains in memory if 
selected in the previous drying.

Gentle Power

At the end of the drying cycle laundry loses the wet film, 

which protects them from wear and friction. When this option is 
activated the dryer performs anti-stress drum movements that 
minimise the effects of fabric wear, meanwhile the air circulation 
system provides a more even drying. The cycle time will be 
extended when this option is turned on.

Key Lock

This option makes all machine controls inaccesible, except 

the "On/Off" button. When the machine is on: 

• 

to activate the option, keep the button pressed until the 
machines signals

 

that the option has been enabled. 

• 

to disable the option, keep the button pressed until the 
machine signals that the option has been disabled.

This option remains in memory if selected in previous drying.

Cycle End Signal

This option activates a prolonged buzzer at the end of the 

cycle. Enable it if you do not think you will hear the normal sound 
at the end of the cycle. After having pressed the option button, 
it can be enabled or disabled using the 

UP

 and 

DOWN

 buttons.
