Adjusting The Level Of Conductivity; Procedure - Electrolux EDR1000NEW Service Manual

4.6 Adjusting the level of conductivity

The conductivity of the water used to wash the fabrics varies from zone to zone. The conductimetric sensor
is calibrated to a standard value: any major variations in the level of conductivity may affect the final drying
result (i.e. the washing may be too dry or too humid):
These variations are more noticeable in the "slightly damp" or "iron-ready" cycles; the "cupboard dry cycles
are almost entirely unaffected by variations in conductivity.
The sensitivity of the conductimetric sensor can be adjusted according to the conductivity of the water as
follows:

Procedure

4-button version
To access adjustment mode:
1. Turn the programme selector to switch on the appliance
2. In selection mode (set-up), simultaneously press the following buttons:
ð buttons 1 and 3 for the four-button version
ð buttons 2 and 4 for the five-button version
3. Hold the buttons down until the LEDs above each begin to flash, the buzzer sounds and one of the LEDs
indicating the drying phase lights (approximately 5 seconds).
Adjusting the level of conductivity:
ð Press the START/PAUSE button sequentially: the level of conductivity is indicated by the phase LEDs,
which light in various combinations as follows:
LED lit
End of cycle
Cooling
Drying
Normally, the appliance is factory-set to the lowest level; however, certain models may be configured
differently. Your local water supply company can give you information concerning the conductivity of the
water in your area.
Memorizing the new setting:
1. Simultaneously press the following buttons:
ð buttons 1 and 3 for the four-button version
ð buttons 2 and 4 for the five-button version
1. Hold the buttons down until the LEDs above each (except the PAUSE LED) stop flashing and the buzzer
sounds.
