times.

hand-wash the perfect level to then hang your clothes if you do not want to tumble dry them all the way to
the end.

iron afterwards.
Hanger Dry: just the perfect drying level to hang the garments up.

display will reduce the selected time each time you press and release this button (see Start and Programmes).
Each press decreases the set time 180, 160, 120, 90, 60, 30, 20 and then repeats. If the Timed Dry option is
not available the display will flash and the buzzer beeps three times.The selected time remains displayed after the
programme starts and cannot be changed after the Start/Pause Button , is pressed.

Delay Timer
After selecting a Programme that has a Delay Start Option a delay start time can be selected.
Each press of the Delay start button advances the delay setting in 1 hour increments from “1h” 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 counts down in minutes. For delays of 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 time cannot be changed.
When the delay period finished the symbol is off and the Time to End is displayed.
If you have chosen a timed drying the display during programming will show the drying time only in the timed
drying display in the middle. After having pressed start the machine will turn the time display on and visualize
the countdown of the programme time.
Time to End
If the delay icon is off the time displayed is the Time to End of the programme running.
When timed programmes are selected the time displayed throughout the cycle is the actual time remaining.
When an Automatic 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 time to end is displayed in hours and minutes and counts down each minute.
The colon between the hours and minutes display flashes to show that 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 four option lights and the pause light will also flash Orange
(see Troubleshooting).
