Option buttons/lights

These buttons are used to customise the selected programme to your requirements. Not all options are available for

all programmes (see Start and Programmes). If an option is not available and you press the button, the buzzer will

beep three times. If the option is available, the option light next to the button lights to confirm the selection.

Progress (Drying, Cool Tumble, End)/Delay (3hr,6hr,9hr) Lights

When the light next to the delay button is on, these lights flash to indicate the delay time selected. During other

programmes they indicate the progress of the dryer, each one comes on as the corresponding phase starts.

Delay Timer

The start of some programmes (see Start and Programmes) can be delayed for up to 9 hours in 3hr steps. Ensure the

water bottle is emptied before setting a delayed start. When a delayed start is in progress the light next to the delay

button will be on and the selected delay period light will flash (after the start button has been pressed). To set a

delayed start, press the Delay Timer button, and the light next to the button will come on together with the 3hr

delay light. Pressing the button again will advance the delay setting to 6hr, the 3hr light goes out and the 6hr light is

on. Each time you press the button the delay setting advances 3 hours, as indicated by the corresponding light. If the

9hr light is on, pressing the button again will cancel the delay. Holding in the On/Off button will also cancel.

Pre care

When a delayed start and this option have been selected the clothes are tumbled occasionally during the delayed

period to help prevent creases developing.

High Heat

Available for Timed Drying Programmes. Press this button and a high heat setting is selected and the light next to the

button comes on. Timed programmes have a default of low heat, if the light alongside the button is on then pressing

the button selects a low heat setting and the light goes out.

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

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 or the clothes will not dry. After re-starting the

dryer, the light will take a few seconds to go out. To avoid this always empty the water container each time you use

the dryer.

the current status and the Start/Pause light will stop flashing and turn green.

-During the Post Care phase of a drying programme, the programme will finish. Pressing the Start/Pause button

will re-start a new programme at the beginning.

-Changing the programmes knob will select a new programme and the Start/Pause light will flash green. You can

use this to select the Cool Tumble Programme to cool the clothes, if you find them dry enough. Press the

Start/Pause button to begin a new programme.

-Wring out garments to remove the maximum amount of water possible.

! Do not load the dryer when garments are dripping wet.

Maximum load sizes

Care labels

Always check the care labels, especially when placing garments in the tumble dryer for the first time. Below are the

most commonly used symbols:

Drying times

Drying times are approximate and may vary depending on the following:

•Amount of water retained by items after the spin cycle: towels and delicate items retain a lot of water.

•Fabrics: items of the same fabric, but with different texture and thickness may have different drying times.

•Amount of laundry: single items and small loads may take longer to dry.

•Drying: if items are to be ironed, they can be removed from the dryer while still slightly damp. Items that require

complete drying can be left longer.

•Heat setting

•Temperature of the room: the lower the temperature of the room, the longer it will take for the dryer to dry

clothing.

•Bulk: certain bulky items require special care during the drying process. We suggest removing these items and

replacing them in the dryer once they have been shaken out: repeat this procedure several times during the

course of the drying cycle.

The drying times provided refer to the automatic Cupboard dry programmes. The timed drying settings are also

indicated to enable you to select the most suitable timed option. The weight refers to dry items.
