Perfect Dry indicator light
The Perfect Dry system measures the
laundry's residual moisture in
programmes with drying levels and
provides a more precise drying result.
After starting the programme, the
electronics will measure the duration of
the programme (Estimated time
remaining). The Perfect Dry indicator
light will flash during this time.

The programme duration will be shown
after a short time and the indicator light
will go out.
Once the selected drying level has
been reached, the Perfect Dry indicator
light will remain on until the end of the

Programme duration /
Estimated time remaining
The expected time will automatically be
displayed (Estimated time remaining).
The following factors all affect the
estimated time remaining: Residual
moisture content after spinning; type of
fabric; size of load; room temperature;
fluctuations in power supply.
The electronics continually assess
conditions in the tumble dryer and
adjust the estimated time remaining for
a more accurate reading. Because of
this, the time displayed can alter during
the course of a programme.
In the same way, programmes may
finish early. This can happen with
particularly fine fabrics, very small
loads or if items were partly dry
beforehand.
