Start and Programmes
Post Care
When 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. The End light is on during this phase.
Empty Water Light / Container
(If you have plumbed your dryer to a drain this light
can be ignored, as there is no need to empty the water
container).
When this light 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 light flashes and the buzzer sounds.
You must empty the water container and restart the
dryer or the clothes will not dry. After re-starting the
dryer, the light 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 a programme will stop the dryer and have

The Start/Pause button must be pressed to
resume the programme. The progress lights will
change to show the current status and the
Start/Pause light will stop flashing and turn green.
During the Post Care phase of a drying
programme, the programme will finish. Pressing
the Start/Pause button will re-start a new
programme at the beginning.
