  • Page 13: Adjusting The Level Of Conductivity

    3.11 Adjusting the level of conductivity The so-called "conductivity" of the water used to wash the fabrics varies in different areas. The conductivity sensor is calibrated for a standard value, and any significant variations in the level of conductivity may affect the final drying result (fabrics too dry or too damp).
  • Page 14: Display

    3.11.2 Display Display / LED Level of conductivity Approximate value (µS/ DISPLAY < 300 DISPLAY AVERAGE 300 – 600 DISPLAY HIGH > 600 The appliance is generally factory-set to the average level, though certain models may be configured differently. Check with your local Water Board office to determine the level of conductivity of the mains supply in your area.

  • Page 18: Structural Characteristics

    5 Structural characteristics 5.1 Heat pump in drying circuit: operating principles The cycle performed by the heat pump in a dryer consists of evaporation, compression, condensation and expansion of the liquid coolant (R134a). The circuit contains 270g of coolant. The coolant is stored in the vaporizer (4) initially in liquid form. The temperature of the air entering from the drum (14) is higher than the boiling point of the coolant.
