Display, Dryness Sensing Levels, Timed Dry

The Display

The Display has three main functions, each with its corresponding button.

Dryness Sensing Levels

After selecting a programme that has a Sensor Dry option, press and release the button until the required dryness sensing level is displayed. If the sensing option is not available with your selected programme, the display will flash and the buzzer will beep three times.

!Some sensing programmes do not have all five dryness level options available.

Dryness levels:

Damp Dry: Dries your items ready to be ironed using a machine or rotary ironer.

Iron Dry: Dries your items ready to be ironed with a hand iron.

Hanger Dry: Dries your clothes ready to be hanged for final drying.

Use this programme if you do not need the items to be fully dry as it uses less energy.

Cupboard Dry: Dries your items ready to be put away.

Extra Dry: Dries your clothes ready to be worn.

Timed Dry

After selecting a programme that has a Timed Dry option, press the button and the Timed Dry icon will light, the display will reduce the selected time each time you press and release this button (see Start and Programmes). Each programme that has a timed option has different times available and the selection of up to 11 drying times will also depend on the heat setting that your have selected.

Each press of the button decreases the drying time.

If you change your mind, press the Sensor Dry button and the sensing level options are available.

If the Timed Dry option is not available the Timed Dry icon will flash and the buzzer will beep three times. The selected time remains displayed after the programme starts and can be changed during the programme if you wish.

Delay Timer

After selecting a programme that has a Delay Timer option, a delay start time can be selected.

Each press of the Delay Timer button advances the delay setting in 30 minutes increments from 0:30 to 9:30 and then increments from 10h 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 continues to count down in minutes.

For delays 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 delay time can be changed or cancelled. When the delay period finishes the delay icon is off and the Time to End is displayed.

Time to End

If the delay icon is off the time displayed is the Time to End for the programme running.

When timed programmes are selected the time displayed throughout the cycle is the actual time remaining. When Automatic programmes are 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 and this is updated during the programme.

The Time to End is displayed in hours and minutes and counts down each minute.

The colons between the hours and minutes in the display flash to show 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 three option lights and the START/PAUSE light will also flash amber (see Troubleshooting).
