Options 

The options allow for customising the selected programme according to one’s own needs.

Delay timer    

The start of some programmes 

(see Programmes and options)

 may be delayed up to 9 hours. Press the button repeatedly to enter 

the desired delay time. Before setting a delayed start, make sure that that the filter is clean.

The drum will rotate occasionally before 

the drying programme starts to prevent the formation of creases.

Fibre care 

Fibre Care is a special option designed to gentle dry delicate clothes.
Press this button to select the low temperature setting; the light next to the button will switch on. Activating this option will increase 
the duration of the cycles

Key Lock

Prevents the program settings from being changed. After having selected the program and the available options, hold down the two 
option buttons for 3 seconds (see “Dryer description”) 
A prolonged beep will sound when the buttons are pressed and the LEDs on the options buttons will flash slowly twice. The LEDs 
on the previously selected options will then remain lit but will no longer be modifiable.
If you attempt to change the settings with KEY LOCK activated, 3 short beeps will sound and 3 rapid flashes will warn you that it is 
not possible to modify the program or the options underway. 
Hold down the options buttons for three seconds to deactivate the KEY LOCK option.  KEY LOCK can be selected with all pro-
grams.

The OFF position switches off the dryer.

 Not all options are available on all programmes 

(see Programmes and options)

.

Opening the door

If the door is opened (or the START/PAUSE button is pressed) while a programme is running, the dryer stops and the following may 
occur:
• The START/PAUSE button flashes orange.
• When a delayed start is running, the delay countdown continues. It is necessary to press the START/PAUSE button to resume the 
“Delay timer” programme. One of the “Delay timer” indicator light flashes to signal the delay time entered.
• It is necessary to press the START/PAUSE button to resume the programme. The progress indicator lights signal the running pha-
se and the START/PAUSE indicator light stops flashing and turns green.
• When post care phase is active it means that drying programma is already ended. Pressing the START/PAUSE button reactivates 
a new programme from the beginning.
• By turning the Programme selection knob, a new programme is selected and the START/PAUSE indicator light flashes green. This 
procedure can be used to select the COOL TUMBLE programme to cool garments if they are judged to be dry enough.
Press the START/PAUSE button to start the new programme.

Note:

 If you have a power cut, switch off the power or remove the plug. When power is restored, plug in the machine.  Turn the 

knob to the desired program to restart dryer operation (to start the program press START/PAUSE). The OFF position switches off 
the dryer.
