Less Fluff
By reducing the mechanical action during the final drying
stage the amount of lint and fluff produced is substantially
reduced, protecting the fibres of your garments.
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 (see The Display).
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 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).
Messages are displayed to reminds you to empty the
water container (see The Display).
If the water container fills during a programme, the heater
turns off and the dryer does a period of Cool Tumble.
After this it stops and a message tells you to
EMPTY THE WATER CONTAINER .
You must empty the water container and restart the dryer
or the clothes will not dry. After re-starting the dryer the
message will take a few seconds to go out.
To avoid this always empty the water container each time
you use the dryer (see Maintenance).

Easy Iron Programme
‘Easy Iron’ is a short 10 minute programme (8 minutes of heat followed by a 2 minute cool tumble period) which
fluffs the fibres of clothing that have been left in the same position/location for an extended period of time. The
cycle relaxes the fibres and makes them easier to iron and fold.
! ‘Easy Iron’ is not a drying programme and should not be used for wet articles of clothing.
For best results: 1. Do not load more than the maximum capacity. These numbers refer to the dry weight:
Fabric Maximum load
Cotton and Cotton mixtures 2.5kg
Synthetics 2kg
Denim 2kg
2. Unload the dryer immediately after the end of the programme, hang, fold or iron the articles
and put them away in the closet. Should this not be possible repeat the programme.
The ‘Easy Iron’ effect varies from one fabric to the next. It works well on traditional fabrics like Cotton or Cotton mix,
and less well on acrylic fibres and on materials such as Tencel®.
