This function helps to increase dryness of the laundry. There are 3 options:
Increase drum reversing frequency to reduce items twisting and entanglement. To increase uniformity of drying result and help reduce creases. Recommended for large or long items (e.g. sheets, trousers, long dresses)"
Extends the anti-crease phase by 60 minutes at the end of the drying cycle. This function reduces creases. The laundry can be removed during the anti-crease phase.
You can set the programme duration, from a minimum of 10 minutes to a maximum of 2 hours. The required duration is related to the quantity of laundry in the appliance.
We recommend that you set a short duration for small quantities of laundry or for only one item.
TIME DRYING RECOMMENDATION | |
10 - 20 min | action of cool air only (no heater). |
20 - 40 min | additional drying to improve dryness after previous drying cycle. |
>40 min | full drying of the small laundry loads up to 4 kg, well spun (>1200 rpm). |
Option suitable for Wool programme to adjust final dryness level.

This option prevents children playing with the appliance while a programme is operating. The touch buttons are locked.
Only the on/off button is unlocked.
Activating the child lock option:
The child lock indicator comes on.
It is possible to deactivate the child lock option while a programme operates. Press and hold the same touch buttons until the child lock indicator goes off. The Child Lock function isn't available for 8 s after switching on the appliance.
Every time you enter in the "Adjustment of remaining laundry moisture" mode, previously set degree of remaining moisture will change intonext value ( e.g previously set will change into ).
To change the default degree of remaining moisture:
If the display returns to the normal mode (the time of the selected programme from step 2. will be displayed), while setting the degree of remaining moisture, press and hold buttons (F) and (E) once again to enter to the "Adjustment of remaining laundry moisture" mode (previously set degree of remaining moisture will change into next value).
By default, the water container indicator is on. It comes on when the programme is completed or when it is necessary to empty the water container.
If a draining kit is installed (additional accessory), the appliance automatically drains the water from the water container. In this case we recommend that you deactivate the indicator of the water container.
Deactivating the water container indicator:
The display shows one of these 2 configurations:
To deactivate or activate the acoustic signals, press and hold for approximately 2 seconds touch buttons (A) and (C) at the same time.
Rear drum locks are removed automatically when dryer is activated for the first time. Possible to hear some noise.
It is highly recommended to start any programme for the first time without the load for a few seconds to ensure that the rear drum locks are removed properly.
To unlock the rear drum locks:
Drum starts to rotate. Rear drum locks are automatically deactivated.
If the drum still does not rotate, please release the rear drum locks manually (to do that, please use provided key).
Before you use the appliance to dry items:
At the beginning of the drying cycle (first 3-5 min) there could be a slightly higher sound level. This is due to the compressor starting up. This is normal for compressor powered appliances such as refrigerators and freezers.
The appliance is tightly packed. After product unpacking you can feel an unusual smell. This is normal for brand new products.
Appliance is built of several different types of material which all together can generate unusual smell.
Over usage time, after few drying cycles unusual smell gradually disappears.
Different noises may be heard at different times during the drying cycle. They are perfectly normal operating sounds.
Working compressor.
Rotating drum.
Working fans.
Working pump and transferring condensation to the tank.
Make sure that when you close the door, the laundry does not get caught between the appliance door and the rubber seal.
The display shows the programme duration.
Real drying time will depend on type of the load (quantity and composition), the room temperature and the humidity of your laundry after spin drying phase.
You can delay the start of a programme from a minimum of 1 hour to a maximum of 20 hours.
The display shows the countdown of the delay start.
When the countdown is completed, the programme starts.
Alternatively:
When the programme is completed:
The appliance continues to operate with the anticrease phase for approximately 30 minutes or more if Long Anticrease option was set (see Option - Long Anticrease ).
The anti-crease phase reduces creasing. You can remove the laundry before the anti-crease phase is completed. We recommend, for better results, that you remove the laundry when the phase is almost completed or completed. When the anti-crease phase is completed:
Possible causes of unsatisfactory drying results:
Always clean the filter and empty the water container when a programme is completed.
To reduce energy consumption, this function automatically deactivates the appliance:
The time is reduced to 30 seconds if the selector knob is pointing to "Reset" position.
Very often the clothes after washing cycle are kneaded and tangled altogether.
Drying kneaded and tangled clothes is inefficient.
To assure proper air flow and even drying it is recommended to shake and load one by one the clothes to the tumble dryer.
To assure proper drying process:
Fabric label | Description |
Laundry is suitable for tumble drying. | |
Laundry is suitable for tumble drying at higher temperatures. | |
Laundry is suitable for tumble drying at low temperatures only. | |
Laundry is not suitable for tumble drying. |
Avoid the use of water to clean the filter. Instead throw away lint in the dustbin ( avoid dispersion of plastic fiber in water ambient).
To achieve the best drying performances clean the filter regularly, clogged filter lead to longer cycles and energy consumption increase. Use your hand to clean the filter, and if necessary, a vacuum cleaner.
You can use the water from the water container as an alternative to distilled
Do not touch the metal surface with bare hands. Risk of injury. Wear protective gloves. Clean carefully to avoid damaging the metal surface.
Risk of humidity sensor damage. Do not use abrasive materials or steel wool to clean the sensor.
To assure best drying results the appliance is equipped with metal humidity sensor. It is placed on the inner side of the door area. Over usage time the surface of the sensor may get dirty what deteriorates the drying performance. We recommend to clean the sensor at least 3 or 4 times or if you observe the drop of drying performance.
To clean you can use harder side of dish-washing sponge and bit of vinegar or dish soap.
To clean the sensor:
Disconnect the appliance before you clean it.
Use a standard neutral soap detergent to clean the inner surface of the drum and drum lifters. Dry the cleaned surfaces with a soft cloth.
Do not use abrasive materials or steel wool to clean the drum.
Use a standard neutral soap detergent to clean the control panel and housing.
Use a moist cloth to clean. Dry the cleaned surfaces with a soft cloth.
Do not use furniture cleaning agents or cleaning agents which can cause corrosion.
Use a vacuum cleaner to remove fluff from the airflow slots.
Refer to Safety.
The appliance does not start or it stops during operation.
First try to find a solution to the problem (refer to the table). If the problem persists, contact the Authorised Service Centre.
Deactivate the appliance before carrying out any check.
In case of major problems, the acoustic signals operate, the display shows an error code and the Start/Pause button may flash continuously:
Error code | Possible cause | Remedy |
E5A | Appliance motor overloaded. Too much laundry or entrap in the drum. | The programme was not completed. Remove the laundry from the drum, set the programme and restart the cycle. |
E97 | Internal fail. No communication between electronic elements of the appliance. | The programme was not finished properly or the appliance stoped too early. Switch the appliance off and on again. If the error code appears again, contact the Authorised Service Centre. |
EH0 | The mains supply is unstable. | When the appliance is showing EH0, please wait until main supply is stable than press start. If the appliance pause the cycle without any indication then press the cycle start. If the warning will occur check the power cord / socket integrity or main supply. |
If the display shows other error codes, deactivate and activate the appliance. If the problem continues, contact the Authorised Service Centre.
