The Controls

PROGRAMMES knob

!Warning, after pressing the START button the programme cannot be changed.

!Position 0, turning the knob to position 0 resets and cancels a programme.

OPTION buttons / lights

These buttons are used to customise the selected programme to your requirements. A programme must have been selected on the PROGRAMMES knob before an option can be selected. 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 four times. If the option is available there will be one beep and the option light next to the button lights to confirm the selection.

Progress (Drying, Cool Tumble, Post Creasecare) / Delay (3hr 6hr 9hr 12hr) Lights

When the light next to the delay button is on, these lights flash to indicate the delay time is selected. During other programmes they indicate the progress of the dryer, each one comes on as the corresponding phase starts.

Time Delay

The start of some programmes (see Start and Programmes) can be delayed for up to 12 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 Time Delay 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 12hr light is on, pressing the button again will cancel the delay.

You can also cancel the delay by turning the programmes knob to 0, wait for the buzzer to beep and then turn back to your selected programme.

Pre Creasecare

When a delayed start has been selected, the clothes are tumbled occasionally during the delayed period to help prevent creases developing.

High Heat

When available this button selects high heat. Press this button and a high heat setting is selected and the light alongside the button comes on.

Timed programmes have a default of low heat.

If the light alongside the button is on, pressing the button selects a low heat setting and the light goes out.

Alarm

Available on all programmes and allows the buzzer to give a signal at the end of the drying cycle, to remind you that the clothes are ready to be removed.

Press the button and the light will show that the option is selected.

Post Creasecare

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.

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. After this it stops and all 3 progress lights and the 3hr delay light come on and the empty water light flashes. You must empty the container and restart the dryer or the clothes will not dry. After restarting 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 (see Maintenance).

Door Opening

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

All 3 progress lights come on.

During a delay phase the delay will continue to count down. The start button must be pressed to resume the delay programme.

One of the delay lights will flash to show the current delay setting.

The start button must be pressed to resume the programme. The progress lights will change to show the current status.

During the cool tumble or post creasecare phase of a drying programme and anytime during an Airing or Cool Tumble programme, the programme will finish. Pressing the start button will re-start a new programme at the beginning.

Changing the programmes knob will select a new programme, after you press the start button. You can use this to select the Cool Tumble programme to cool the clothes, if you find them dry enough.

Note

If you have a power cut, switch off the power or remove the plug. When power is restored, press the START button and the programme will resume.
