phase

The indicator lamp turns 

orange

during a drying programme when

the water container is full. When this happens, you must empty the
water container. The programme goes directly to the cooling phase
and the dryer stops. The 

orange

light warns you that the load will not

be dried correctly. Empty the water container and start the
programme again by pressing the start button.
At the end of the drying programme if the water container has filled
the indicator lamp will glow 

red

. A programme cannot be started

when the lamp is 

red

.

The indicator lamp goes off (or turns 

green

if a programme is

running) a few seconds after the empty water container has been put
back.

If this light flashes it shows that an automatic programme has
exceeded 180 minutes. For safety reasons this being the maximum
drying time available.
Should this occur, the causes may be:

The load is too big, or bulky.

The filter is blocked.

A cotton load was spun at LOW speed.

There may be a fault.

Turn the dryer Off, check through the first three causes, and then try
again.

About 10 minutes before the programme is completed, the heating
elements will be switched off, and the programme enters the final
‘Cool Drying’ phase. During this phase, the fabric is cooled. You
should always allow the dryer to complete this phase.
By opening the door, you can check the dryness of the load as often
as you wish and if you want remove some items before they are fully
dry. (This is particularly useful for a mixed load where you want to iron
some items, but others to be fully dried.)

You will need to press the START button after closing the door to
re-start the programme.

See previous page.

At the end of the drying programme it may not be convenient to take
out the clothes immediately. Do not worry, the dryer will protect your
clothes from creasing by gently turning them over occasionally by
means of a few revolutions of the drum. At the same time, if you have
not cancelled the Alarm (Buzzer) a warning buzz will sound
intermittently to remind you that the clothes are ready to take out.
