Power Supply Management - Electrolux 6 Series Service Manual

2.1 Power supply management

Depending on the characteristics of the main circuit board, and irrespective of the model, the appliance can
be completely cut off from the mains, or alternatively set to a special, lower energy consumption mode.
When the 0 Watt power supply circuit is inserted in the main circuit board, the appliance consumption is
automatically cut to 0.
Without this circuit, for users to get a power absorption of 0 (zero) Watts, they have to cut off the electricity
supply by unplugging the appliance.
In either case, the user interface behaviour is the same.
To turn the appliance on, simply press the On/Off button briefly.
The appliance beeps once (if the buzzer is enabled), and depending on the selected programme, the display
shows the time required to complete drying.
To turn off the appliance, hold down the button for approximately 1 second.
After this time, the user interface beeps once (if the buzzer is enabled) and all the lights and the display are
turned off. After turning off the dryer, all the options selected and the programme are deleted.

Behaviour in Stand-Off mode
In order to minimise electricity wastage when the cycle is not under way, appliances in this platform offer
the auto-off function which, when teamed with the Zero-Watt circuit, provide two ways of enabling a low
consumption mode:
1. When you press the On/Off button to turn off the appliance, the supply voltage is cut off and the tumble
dryer is secured (motor off, display off, etc...), the cycle and any options selected are reset, so that the
next time the appliance is turned on, it is ready to perform a new programme.
2. If, during the programme and options selection phase or after the end of the cycle, the appliance
receives no further instructions for at least 5 minutes, it is automatically turned off (for energy savings in
conformity with the standards on energy consumption).
-
If this occurs during the setting phase, the programme and the options selected are cancelled and the
basic programme appears when the appliance is turned back on.
-
If the cycle has ended, all the settings are stored so that when the appliance is turned back on, the user
can see that the cycle ended normally, and can restart it if necessary.
If an alarm occurs while a programme is under way, the auto of function is disabled,
