Canceling the time delay

If you want to cancel the time delay countdown and start the programme immediately:

  1. Press "Start/Pause" button for 3 seconds to cancel the programme.
  2. Then, press "Start/Pause" button to select the desired programme.

Changing the programme after it has started

You can use this feature to dry your clothes under higher or lower temperatures after your dryer has started.

For example;

  1. Press and hold the "Start/Pause/Cancel" button for about 3 seconds to "Cancel" the programme in order to select "Extra Dry" programme instead of "Iron Dry" programme.
  2. Select the programme with the Programme Selection button.
  3. Press "Start/Pause/Cancel" button to start the programme. i Child-proof lock of the machine should not be active in order to perform this operation. If the child-proof lock is active, deactivate it before performing these operations.

Adding/removing laundry in standby mode

In order to add or remove laundry after the programme starts:

  1. Press the "Start/Pause/Cancel" button to switch the dryer to "Pause" mode. The drying process will stop.
  2. Open the door at "Pause" position and close it again after adding or taking out laundry.
  3. Press the "Start/Pause/Cancel" button to start the programme. Note: Any laundry added after the drying process has started may cause the dried clothes in the machine to intermingle with wet clothes, and the result will be wet laundry after the drying process is over. Laundry may be added or taken out as much as desired during a drying process, but as this process will interrupt drying continuously, it will extend the programme duration and increase energy consumption. Therefore, it is recommended to add laundry before the drying programme has started.

Child-proof lock

There is a child-proof lock to prevent any programme interruption due to the pressing of buttons while the programme is running. The loading door and all buttons except the "On/Off" button on the control panel are deactivated when the child-proof lock is active.

In order to activate the child-proof lock, press the End Time "-" and Programme "+" buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds. "CL3-CL2-CL1" and "on-CL-on" appears on the display and the function is activated.

To start a new programme after the programme is over or to interrupt the programme, the child-proof lock should be deactivated. Press the same buttons for 3 seconds again to deactivate the child-proof lock. "CL3-CL2-CL1" and "oFF-CL-oFF" appears on the display and the function is deactivated.

Note: The child-proof lock is deactivated when the machine is restarted by pressing the On/Off button.

Press the relevant buttons for 3 seconds to activate the child-proof lock. A long beep will be heard and the child-proof lock will be activated. A double beep will be heard if you press any button when the child-proof lock is active. Press the buttons for 3 seconds to deactivate the child-proof lock. A single beep will be heard and the child-proof lock will be deactivated.

Ending the programme by canceling

In order to cancel the selected programme, press the "Start/Pause/Cancel" button for about 3 seconds.

Warning: As the inside of the machine will be excessively hot when you cancel the programme while the machine is running, activate the ventilation programme to cool it down.

End of programme

"End" appears on the display and the "Filter cleaning" and "Water tank" warning lights turn on when the programme is over. The door can be opened and the machine becomes ready for

a second cycle.

Press the "On/Off" button to turn off the dryer.

The final step of the drying cycle (cooling step) is performed without heat application to keep the items at a temperature that would not harm them. A 2-hour anti-creasing programme to prevent laundry from creasing will be activated if you do not take the laundry out after the programme has come to an end. If you will not take the laundry out immediately, do not stop the dryer before the drying process is complete. Clean the filter after each drying (see "Lint filter cleaning"). Drain the water tank after each drying (see "Water tank").

5 Maintenance and cleaning

Filter Cartridge / Door Inner Surface

Lint and fibres released from the laundry to the air during the drying cycle are collected in the "Filter Cartridge".

Such fibre and lint are generally formed during wearing and washing. Always clean the filter and the inner surfaces of the cover after each drying process. You can clean the filter and filter area by vacuum cleaner.

To clean the filter:

  1. Open the loading door.
  2. Remove the cover filter by pulling it up and open the filter.
  3. Clean lint, fibre, and cotton raveling by hand or with a soft piece of cloth.
  4. Close the filter and place it back into its seat.

Clogging may arise on the filter surface after using your machine for some time; if this occurs, wash the filter with water and dry it before using again.

Sensor

There are humidity sensors in your dryer that detect whether the laundry is dry or not.

To clean the sensor:

  1. Open the loading door of the dryer.
  2. Allow the machine to cool down if drying has been carried out.
  3. Wipe the metal sensors with a soft cloth, dampened with vinegar and dry them.

Clean metal sensors 4 times a year.

⚠️ Never use solvents, cleaning agents or similar substances when cleaning since these materials can cause fire and explosion!

Water tank:

The moisture in the damp laundry is taken from the laundry and condensed. Drain the water tank after each drying cycle or during drying when the "Water tank" warning light turns on.

⚠️ Condensed water is not drinkable!

⚠️ Never take out the water tank when the programme is running!

If you forget to drain the water tank, your dryer will stop during the following drying cycles when the water tank is full and the "Water tank" warning light will turn on. If this is the case, press the "Start/Pause/Cancel" button to resume the drying cycle after draining the water tank.

To drain the water tank:

1. Pull the drawer and remove the water tank carefully.

3-If there is lint accumulation in the funnel of the water tank, clean it under running water. 4-Place the water tank into its seat.

For the condenser:

Hot and humid air in the condenser is cooled with the cold air from the room. Thus, the humid air circulating in your dryer is condensed and then pumped into the tank.

Clean the condenser after every 30 drying cycles or once a month.

To clean the condenser:

  1. If a drying process has been carried out, open the door of the machine and wait until it cools down.
