Progress ( Drying, Cool Tumble) icons

of the dryer. Each icon comes on as the corresponding
phase starts.
Time Delay (Delay Timer)
The start of some programmes ( see Start and
Programmes ) can be delayed for up to 24 hours. Ensure
the water container is emptied before setting a delayed
start. During this period the clothes are tumbled to help
prevent creases developing.
Extra Care
This Anti-Ageing function for Cottons helps to maintain the
brightness of your laundry for a long time, thanks to the
correct drum rotation (reduced in the last part of the cycle)
and the correct temperature.
Note: It cannot be used with the ‘Extra Dry’, ‘Cupboard Dry’
and ‘Light Dry’ dryness levels.
Heat Level buttons and lights
Not all programmes allow you to change the heat level
and some programmes allow all three heat level options:
Low, Medium and High.
When the heat level options are available pressing this
button changes the heat level and the light corresponding
to the selection is lit.
Sound
If selected, gives a signal at the end of the drying cycle,
to remind you that the clothes are ready to be removed.
Not available with the Heat & Enjoy programme.

DISPLAY
The display shows either the amount of time delay
remaining or an indication of the amount of time left for a
drying programme (
see The Display ).
The colons between the hours and minutes in the display
flash to show that the time is counting down.
When the programme finishes its cool tumble phase the
display will show ‘End’.
●
Empty Water Icon / Container
(If you have plumbed your dryer to a drain this icon can
be ignored, as there is no need to empty the water
container).
When this icon is on ( ) it reminds you to empty the
water container.
If the water container fills during a programme, the
heater turns off and the dryer does a period of Cool
Tumble then the buzzer sounds, the ‘water container
full’ icon flashes, the display shows and the
‘empty water’ icon is on.
You must empty the water container and restart the
dryer or the clothes will not dry. After re-starting the
dryer the display will take a few seconds to refresh.
To avoid this always empty the water container each
time you use the dryer (
