3.7 Operating Mode When dryer is powered On, 1. UI shows a welcome lighting animation that will play together with the sound PowerOn. 2. when animation has ended, UI shows cycle time of selected Program. Note: Animation applies to every time the user powers on the appliance, not just the first time power on.
3.7.2 Power Off Powering off the appliance can be done either by turning off the main power switch or turning the rotary knob to Off (12 O’clock position). All LEDs go Off. 3.7.3 Setting Program User can turn the rotary knob to select 1 of the 12 drying cycles. 3.7.4 Setting Dryness Level User can tap on the Dryness Level option buttons to adjust the dryness levels, depending on the selected Dry program.
3.7.6 Setting Dry Temp User can tap on the Dry Temp option buttons to adjust the temperature setting. There are 3 levels options - Boost, Low, Airing, and the availability depends on the selected Dry program. The LED indicator is on the display. 3.7.7 Extra Anticrease By factory default, at the end of the drying and cooling cycle, the vented dryer will run an Anticrease phase for 1 hour.
3.7.8 Child Lock Child Lock is triggered by pressing and holding Extra Anticrease button for 2 seconds. Upon tap , play tone KeyAccept sound. Upon activation, tone KeyConfirm sound is played and “LOC” will be shown on the segmented display for 2s before going back to showing cycle duration. When Child Lock is on When Child Lock is activated, flash “LOC“...
3.7.10 Activating Delay Start Tapping the Delay Start button allows user to delay the start time of the dry cycle. The display will show the delay time set (in :mm or Xh format) and both the Delay Start button LED and the Delay Start icon will light up together. Long tap and hold gesture activates the auto repeat function.
While in Idle State, if the user adjusts any other settings after setting Delay Start, the display will reflect the updated TTE accordingly as the user taps on the option keys and the Delay icon remains lit. The cycle duration will remain on the display and not switch back to delay time. Note: Changing of program will cancel any Delay timing set and the Delay icon will be dismissed.
3.7.12 Start Cycle After selecting the program and closing the door, pressing the Start/Pause button will start the drying cycle. The Start/Pause LED turns steady and display time then decreases and updated minute by minute. All buttons except the Start/Pause button will be disabled. When cycle is in progress, all buttons except the Start/Pause button will be disabled.

Cycle End and Anticrease Phase When the cycle is completed, the segmented digits will change TTE to “End”. All program and settings LED indicators will go off, leaving only the segmented display, the Extra Anticrease icon (if activated) and Lint Alert icon. At the same time, Anticrease phase will start. If the buzzer is enabled, Tone CycleEnd will be played 6 times .
End State to Idle State When in the End State, touching the control panel, turning the knob to another program or closing the door brings the appliance into Idle State, but not trigger any action. End State to Stand-By State When in the End State, appliance goes into Stand-By State if there is no activity for 5 minutes.
3.8 Combination Key function The following key combinations are available.

3.8.2 Inverted Mounting Mode The vented dryer allows for inverted wall mounting and user is able to set the dryer to an Inverted Mounting Mode through a hidden key combination. This would adjust the display to read correctly when it is wall-mounted up-side-down. To set the appliance to Inverted Mounting Mode, press and hold Extra Anticrease and Start/Pause buttons for less than 5 seconds.
3.8.3 Working hour counter Using a specific procedure, the operator can display the total operating time for the appliance, which is counted from the moment it is first switched on. The unit can count up to a maximum of 65 50 hours of operating time. ●...
3.8.4 Demo mode In the shops and exhibitions sometime it could be necessary to show to the customer the machine behavior in set-up condition and also during cycle execution. The duration of a cycle execution is in any case too long for a brief show. The Demo works in two ways: one interactive mode and one automatic loop.
3.8.5 Diagnostic Mode This mode is used in several conditions: - In factory assembly line to perform a manual test of the machine functionality - By service people to check for faults and repair the machine. Entering Diagnostic Mode To turn on demo mode, Turn program knob for off stage to the 1 Program position , then tap and hold Delay Start and Start/ Pause buttons for >5 seconds.

E52 - Drum Motor Alarm This alarm is set because of the motor is running without command by the cycle execute. The possible cause can be due to motor relay is short circuit or a high level of electromagnetic noise or motor fault. When this condition is detected the cycle will be stop.
Page 33
E71 – Drying NTC Alarm This alarm is set because of the NTC reading is out of range. The possible cause can be due to NTC wiring failure, NTC fault or NTC reading circuit failure, NTC sensor is in open circuit or in short circuit. When this condition is detected the cycle will be stop.

E94 – Cycle configuration error There is an incongruent situation between the read checksum and the calculated one at the power-on of the machine. Differently from the E93 the checksum of the cycle configuration is divided into two parts and so the machine has to check both.

EB1 (EH1) – Power supply frequency out of limits Power supply period lower or higher than configured values (Rated 50Hz ± 10% or 60Hz ± 10%). The machine measures continuously the power supply period and if its value exceeds a configurable interval the machine starts the power failure management.
Page 36
EBD (EHD) – Safety relay short circuit There is an incongruent situation between the sensing of the relay that drives the line safe relay and the output given by the microprocessor, this fault can be detected only with door opened and line safety relay switched off.

Or while mist valve is ON by cycle execute, this alarm is set because of line safe relay closed, triac sensing detects voltage on valve, due to triac short circuit to ground (valve or wiring), electrical noise, line safe relay problem (main board failure), triac open or short, or valve connection loose.
