You can either choose a sensor dry level or a drying time.

Delay Start
After selecting a Programme that has a Delay Start Option a delay start time can be selected.
Each press of the Delay start button advances the delay setting in 1 hour increments from 1h to
24h then OFF and then after five seconds cancels the delay.
For delays of 10 hours or more the display counts down the time in hours until 10 hours, then the display
shows 9:59 and then counts down in minutes. For delays of 9 hours or less the display shows hours and
minutes and then counts down in minutes for all of the delay.
After the Start/Pause Button is pressed the time cannot be changed.
When the delay period finished the symbol is off and the Time to End is displayed.
If you have chosen a timed drying the display during programming will show the drying time only in

display on and visualize the countdown of the programme time.

Time to End
If the delay icon is off the time displayed is the Time to End of the programme running.
When timed programmes are selected the time displayed throughout the cycle is the actual time remaining.
When an Automatic programme is selected the time displayed is an estimate of the time remaining.
When the programme is selected the display shows the time required to dry a full load, after around
10 minutes the controller calculates a better estimate of the cycle time.
The time to end is displayed in hours and minutes and counts down each minute.
The colon between the hours and minutes display flashes to show that the time is counting down.
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, the four option lights and the pause light will also flash Orange

Special Programmes
Easy Iron Programme
Easy Iron is a short 10 minute programme (8 minutes of heat followed by a 2 minutes cool tumble period) which fluffs the
fibres of clothing that has 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 maximum capacity. These numbers refer to dry weight:
Fabric: Max
Cotton and Cotton mix 2.5 kg
Synthetics 2
Denim 2
2. Unload the dryer immediately after the end of the drying cycle, hang, fold or iron the articles and put them away in the
closet. Should this not be possible, repeat the cycle.
The Easy Iron effect varies from one fabric to the next. It works very well on traditional fabrics like Cotton or Cotton mix, and
less well on acrylic fibres and on materials such as Tencel.

Information on recycling
and disposal
As part of our continual commitment towards environmental
protection, we reserve the right to use recycled quality
components to reduce costs for our customers and to
minimise materials wastage.
Disposing of the packaging materials: follow local
regulations to allow for recycling of packaging materials.
In order to minimise the risk of injury to children, remove
the door and plug, then cut the power supply cord flush
with the appliance. Dispose of these parts separately to
prevent the appliance from being connected to a power
supply socket.

Disposal of old household appliances

Owners should contact their local authorities or appliance
dealers for further information concerning the correct
disposal of household appliances.

Saving energy and respecting the

environment
Wring out items before tumble drying them to remove
the maximum amount of water possible (if they are
previously washed in a washing machine, select a spin
cycle). This ensures that energy is saved during tumble
drying.
Always use the tumble dryer at full load to save energy:
single items and small loads may take longer to dry.
Clean the filter at the end of each cycle to reduce energy
consumption costs (see Maintenance).
