Pre Care

This option is only available if a delayed start has been
selected. It tumbles the clothes occasionally during the
delayed period to help prevent creases developing.

Post Care

When available and 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.

Note:

The Start/Pause light flashes Amber during this phase.

Note:

If you have selected the Sound option this option is

button changes the heat level and the display briefly shows
the selected heat level, along with a display of the selected
level icon:

HIGH HEAT

clothes are ready to be removed.

Less Fluff

By reducing the mechanical action during the final drying
stage the amount of lint and fluff produced is substantially
reduced, protecting the fibres of your garments.

TIME 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 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 (

see Troubleshooting

).

Empty Water 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).
Messages are displayed to reminds you to empty the
water container (

see The Display

).

If the water container fills during a programme, the heater
turns off and the dryer does a period of Cool Tumble.
After this it stops and a message tells you to 
EMPTY THE WATER CONTAINER  .
You must empty the water container and restart the dryer
or the clothes will not dry. After re-starting the dryer the
message will take a few seconds to go out.
To avoid this always empty the water container each time
you use the dryer (

see Maintenance

).

Door Opening

Opening the door during a programme will stop the dryer
and have the following effects:

Note:

The Start/Pause light flashes Amber during the Post

Care phase of a programme.

The display shows  PAUSE  .

During a delay phase the delay will continue to count 
down. The Start/Pause button 

must

be pressed to 

resume the delay programme. 
The display will change to show current status.

During the drying part of the programme, the colons 
on the display stop flashing to show that the time has 
stopped counting down. 
The Start/Pause button 

must

be pressed to resume 

the programme. The display will change to show the 
current status, the colons flash and count down 
continues.

During the Post Care phase, the programme ends. 
Pressing the Start/Pause button will restart a new 
programme from the beginning.

Note

If you have a power cut, switch off the power or remove
the plug. When power is restored, press and hold the
On/Off button until the display briefly shows   

POWER ON

and the dryer reactivates. Then press the Start/Pause
button and the programme will resume.

Easy Iron Programme

‘Easy Iron’ is a short 10 minute programme (8 minutes of heat followed by a 2 minute cool tumble period) which
fluffs the fibres of clothing that have been left in the same position/location for an extended period of time. The
cycle relaxes the fibres and makes them easier to iron and fold.

!

‘Easy Iron’ is 

not a drying programme

and should not be used for wet articles of clothing.

For best results:  1. Do not load more than the maximum capacity. These numbers refer to the dry weight:

Fabric

Maximum load

Cotton and Cotton mixtures

2.5kg

Synthetics

2kg

Denim

2kg

2. Unload the dryer immediately after the end of the programme, hang, fold or iron the articles 

and put them away in the closet. Should this not be possible repeat the programme.

The ‘Easy Iron’ effect varies from one fabric to the next. It works well on traditional fabrics like Cotton or Cotton mix,
and less well on acrylic fibres and on materials such as Tencel®.
