6.6 Warning indicators

Warning indicators may vary depending on the model of your drying machine.

Filter cleaning

When the program is completed, the warning indicator for filter cleaning turns on.

Water tank

If the water tank fills up while the program continues, the warning indicator starts flashing and the machine goes into stand-by. In this case, empty the water tank and start the program by pressing the Start / Stand-by button. Warning indicator turns off and program resumes.

Cleaning of filter drawer/heat exchanger

Warning symbol flashes periodically to remind that filter drawer must be cleaned.

6.7 Starting the program

Press the Start/Stand-by button to start the program.

Start/Stand-by and Drying indicators turn on to show that program started.

6.8 Child Lock

The drying machine has a child lock which prevents the program flow from being interrupted when the buttons are pressed during a program. When the Child Lock is activated, all buttons on the panel except the On/Off/Program Selection button are deactivated.

Press the Audible Warning button for 3 seconds in order to activate the child lock.

The child lock has to be deactivated to be able to start a new program after the current program is finished or to be able to interfere with the program. To deactivate the child lock,

keep the same buttons pressed for 3 seconds.

When the child lock is activated, the child lock warning indicator on the screen turns on.

When the child lock is active:

The drying machine runs, or in stand-by state the indicator symbols will not change upon changing the position of the program selection button.

When the drying machine is operated and the child lock is active, if the program selection button is turned, a double beeping noise will be heard. If the child lock is deactivated before the program selection button is turned to its original place, the program will be terminated since the program selection button is displaced.

6.9 Changing the program after it is started

You can change the program you selected to dry your laundry with a different program after the drying machine starts running.

- For example, Pause the program and turn the On/Off/Program Selection button to select the Extra Dry program in order to select the Extra Dry program instead of Ironing Dryness.

- Press the Start/Stand-by button to start the program.

Adding and removing clothes during stand-by

If you want to add or remove clothes to/from the drying machine after the drying program starts:

- Press the Start/Stand-by button to put the drying machine in Stand-by state. The drying operation stops.

- Open the loading door while in Stand-by state, and close the door after you remove or add laundry.

- Press the Start/Stand-by button to start the program.

Adding laundry after the drying operation starts may cause the dried laundry inside the drying machine to mix with wet laundry and leave the laundry damp at the end of operation.Adding or removing laundry during drying may be repeated as many times as you wish. But this operation continuously interrupts the drying operation, and thus increases program duration and energy consumption. So, it is recommended to add laundry before the program starts.If a new program is selected by turning the program selection button while the drying machine is in stand-by, the running program terminates.

6.11 End of program

When the program ends, the LED's of End/Wrinkle Prevention and Fibre Filter Cleaning Warning on the program follow-up indicator turn on. Loading door can be opened and drying machine is ready for another operation. Turn the On/Off/Program Selection button to On/Off position in order to turn off the drying machine.

If the Wrinkle Prevention mode is active and the laundry is not removed after the program is completed, the wrinkle prevention function activates for 2 hours to prevent the laundry inside the machine to get wrinkled. The program tumbles the laundry with 10-minute intervals to prevent them from wrinkling.

6.10 Cancelling the program

If you want to cancel the program and terminate the drying operation for any reason after the drying machine starts running, Pause the program and turn the On/Off/Program Selection button; the program terminates.

The inside of the drying machine shall be extremely hot when you cancel the program during machine operation, so run the refreshing program to allow it to cool down.

7 Maintenance and cleaning

Read the "Safety Instructions" first!

7.1 Fibre Filters (internal and external filters) / Cleaning of the Interior Surface of the Loading Door

The hair and fibres that are separated from the laundry during drying process is collected by the Fibre Filter.

After each drying cycle, clean the fibre filter and the inner surface of the loading door.

NOTICE

Your drying machine has 2 fibre filters with one placed inside the other. Do not operate the product without the fibre filters.

To clean the fibre filter:

• Open the loading door.
• Hold the first part (inner filter) of the two part fibre filter and remove it by pulling it upwards.

Ensure that hair, fibre and cotton balls do not fall into the slot where the filters are installed.

- Open both of the fibre filters (outer and inner) and remove the fibres with your hands or with the brush on the air deflector. You can clean the hair in the filters with a vacuum cleaner.

7.2 Cleaning the sensor

The drying machine has humidity sensors that detect whether the laundry is dry.

To clean the sensors:

Open the drying machine loading door.

If the machine is hot due to drying operation, wait until it cools.

Clean the metal surfaces of the sensor with a soft cloth dampened with vinegar and then dry.

Clean the metal surfaces of the sensor 4 times a year.Do not use metal tools to clean the sensors' metal surfaces.

Due to fire and explosion hazard, do not use solutions, cleaning materials or similar tools to clean sensors.

7.3 Emptying the water tank

During drying, the moisture is removed from the laundry and condensed, then the water is accumulated in the water tank. Empty the water tank after each drying session.

Condensed water is not potable water!

Do not remove the water tank as a program is running!

If you do not empty the water tank, during the next drying sessions the machine will stop operating due to the water tank being full and a Water Tank warning icon will blink. In this case empty the water tank and to continue drying operation, press the Start / Stand-by button.

To drain the water tank:

Pull the water tank out from its drawer carefully.

1. Remove the water tank in the drawer or the kickplate carefully.

If fibre is accumulated in the funnel on the water tank, remove it under running water.

Place back the water tank.

If direct discharge option is used, water tank is not required to be drained.

7.4 Cleaning the condenser

The hair and the fibre that are not collected by the fibre filter accumulates on the metal surface of the condenser behind the air deflector. These fibres shall be cleaned regularly.

If the condenser cleaning icon blinks, check the metal surface. If there is any fibre, clean it. It must be checked at least every 6 months.

Move the latches to open the air deflector lid.

Diagram showing a hand holding a device with a lock and a switch, likely illustrating a safety or security concept.

Pull the brush to the left to remove it. You can use the cleaning brush to clean filter, condensing metal surface and accumulated fibre on the door.

The cleaning brush is inside the documentation bag. Get your brush from the documentation bag and insert it to its place on the air deflector to store it.

Clean the fibre on the metal surface of the condenser with damp cloth or the brush on the air deflector in up - down direction. Do not clean with left - right direction since it will damage the metal plates of the condenser. You can use a vacuum cleaner with a brush for cleaning. If the vacuum cleaner does not have a brush, it is not recommended to be used for condenser cleaning.

After cleaning the filter, door and the condenser, drag the brush to the right and lock it in its place.

After the cleaning process is completed, place the air deflector cover to its place, move the latches to close it and close the toe board.

i	You can clean by hand, provided you wear protective gloves. Do not try to clean with bare hands. The condenser fins may damage your hands. Cleaning from left to right may damage the condenser fins. This may lead to drying issues.
