Post Care

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.

TIME 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 DELAY icon flashes after the start button has been pressed.

The time to end is displayed in hours and minutes and counts down each minute, this includes the cool tumble phase, the heat setting HIGH or LOW is also shown.

When timed programmes are selected the time displayed throughout the cycle is the actual time remaining.

When a Set & Forget 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).

Empty Water Icon / Container

(If you have plumbed your dryer to a drain this icon can be ignored, as there is no need to empty the water container).

When this icon 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 icon flashes and the buzzer sounds. After this it stops and all progress icons come on and the empty water icon flashes.

You must empty the water container and restart the dryer or the clothes will not dry. After re-starting the dryer the icon will take a few seconds to go out.

To avoid this always empty the water container each time you use the dryer (see Maintenance).

During an Airing or Cool Tumble programme, or

Post Care phase, the programme ends and the display shows E88 .
