OPTION buttons / lights

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

After the start button has been pressed only the Alarm, Pre Creasecare and Post Creasecare options can be changed.

Time Delay

The start of some programmes (see Start and Programmes) can be delayed for up to 18 hours. Press this button, the display shows OFF and the option light comes on. Press again and a 1 hour delay is selected and the display indicates 1hr, each further press of the button adds 1hr to the delay. When 18hr is displayed a further press the display shows OFF and after a couple of seconds cancels 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

This option is only available if a delayed start has been selected. It tumbles the clothes 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 then pressing the button selects a low heat setting and the light goes out. The heat icon on the display will also change.

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

When available and 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.

DISPLAY

The display shows either the amount of time delay remaining or an indication of the amount of time left for a drying programme.

The delay time is displayed in hours and counts down each hour.

The time to end is displayed in hours and minutes and counts down each minute, this includes the cool tumble phase. When timed programmes are selected the time displayed throughout the cycle is the actual time remaining.

When a sensing 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 colons between the hours and minutes in the display flash to show that the time is counting down. When the programme finishes its cool tumble phase the display will show E88 .

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 (see Troubleshooting).

Door Opening

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

All 4 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. The progress lights will change to show current status.

During the drying part of the programme, the time to end count continues but the colons do not flash. 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, press the START button and the programme will resume.
