Time Delay (Delay Timer)

The start of some programmes (see Start and Programmes) can be delayed for up to 24 hours. Ensure the water container is emptied before setting a delayed start. During this period the clothes are tumbled to help prevent creases developing.

Extra Care

This Anti-Ageing function for Cottons helps to maintain the brightness of your laundry for a long time, thanks to the correct drum rotation (reduced in the last part of the cycle) and the correct temperature.

Note: It cannot be used with the ‘Extra Dry’, ‘Cupboard Dry’ and ‘Light Dry’ dryness levels.

Heat Level buttons and lights

Not all programmes allow you to change the heat level and some programmes allow all three heat level options: Low, Medium and High.

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 ‘End’.

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).

full’ icon flashes, the display shows and the
