When a delayed start and this option have been selected the 

clothes are tumbled occasionally during the delayed period 

to help prevent creases developing.

Post Care

When selected, the clothes are occasionally tumbled after 

the end of the drying and cool tumble cycles, to help prevent 

creases developing should you not be available to remove 

the load immediately the programme is complete. The End 

light is on during this phase.

Empty Water Light / Container

(If you have plumbed your dryer to a drain this light can be 

ignored, as there is no need to empty the water container).

When this light is on (not flashing) 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 light flashes and the buzzer sounds. 

You must empty the water container and restart the dryer
