5.8 Child Lock

The drying machine has a child lock which 

prevents the programme flow from being 

interrupted when the buttons are pressed 

during a programme. When the child lock 

is activated, all buttons on the panel except 

the On/Off/Programme selection knob are 

deactivated.

Press the End Time and Buzzer buttons 

simultaneously for 3 buttons to activate the 

child lock. 

The child lock has to be deactivated to be able 

to start a new programme after the current 

programme is finished or to be able to interfere 

with the programme. To deactivate the child 

lock, keep the same buttons pressed for 3 

seconds.

NOTE

•  When the child lock is activated, the child 

lock warning indicator on the screen 

turns on.

•  Child lock deactivates when the drying 

machine is turned off and on by the On/

Off/Cancel knob.

When the child lock is active:

When the drying machine runs, or in stand-

by state, the indicator symbols won’t change 

upon changing the position of the programme 

selection knob.

C

NOTE

•  When the drying machine runs and the 

child lock is active, it beeps twice when 

the programme selection knob is turned. 

If the child lock is deactivated without 

returning the programme selection knob 

to its previous position, programme 

will terminate due to the change in the 

programme selection knob position.

5.9 Changing the programme after it 

is started

You can change the programme you selected 

to dry your laundry with a different programme 

after the drying machine starts running

•  For instance, select Extra Dry programme 

by turning the On/Off/Programme 

selection knob to select Extra Dry instead 

of Iron Dry.

•  Press the Start/Stand-by button to start 

the programme.

Adding and removing clothes during 

stand-by

If you want to add or remove clothes to/from 

the drying machine after the drying programme 

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 programme.

C

NOTE

•  Adding laundry after the drying operation 

starts may cause the dried laundry inside the 

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 programme duration and energy 

consumption. So, it is recommended to add 

laundry before the programme starts.

•  If a new programme is selected by turning 

the programme selection knob while the 

drying machine is in stand-by, the running 

programme terminates.
