4.7 Description of operation

4.7.1

Selection phase

When the selector is turned from OFF to a drying programme, the LEDs corresponding to the phases of the
programme light, and the START/PAUSE LED begins to flash.
During this phase ("selection" or "set-up" phase) the various options can be entered, and the corresponding
LEDs will light.
The drying cycle commences as soon as the START/PAUSE pushbutton is pressed.
If an option that is incompatible with the selected programme is entered, all
the phase/warning LEDs flash three times and the buzzer sounds to warn
the user that the option is incorrect.
If the programme selector is turned after selecting the options but before pressing START/PAUSE, the
options selected will be cancelled.
4.7.2

Cycle operation

A drying cycle starts after (a) a programme has been selected using the selector, (b) one or more options (if
desired) have been selected and (c) the START/PAUSE pushbutton has been pressed.
The LED corresponding to the START/PAUSE button remains lit and, at the same time, the LED
corresponding to the phase currently being performed lights.
The drying cycle consists of the following phases:
§
DRYING
If the cycle is automatic, its duration will be the time necessary to remove the humidity until the desired
degree of final humidity is reached (maximum cycle time is 180 minutes for full power and 240 minutes
for half power).
If the cycle is timer-controlled, the duration will be the time selected by the user.
§
COOLING
For timer-controlled cycles, the maximum duration of the cooling phase is 10 minutes; for automatic
cycles the duration depends on the temperature inside the drum (i.e. may be shorter).
§
ANTI-CREASE
The duration of the anti-crease cycle is 30 minutes.
No modifications to the programmes can be entered after the drying programme has started.
If the position of the selector is changed, or if one of the option buttons is pressed, all the LEDs begin to flash
and the buzzer sounds to warn the user that an incorrect operation has been attempted.
The options can be selected only after selecting a drying programme and before pressing START/PAUSE.
To cancel a drying cycle, it is necessary to turn the programme selector to OFF.
4.7.3

Operation in PAUSE mode

If START/PAUSE is pressed while a drying cycle is being performed, the dryer interrupts the current cycle
and enters PAUSE mode. The corresponding LED lights.
If the selector is turned, all the phase LEDs flash three times and the buzzer sounds to alert the user of the
error. In this situation, only certain options can be modified (see table of options, page 10).
If the button relative to an option that cannot be selected is pressed, the corresponding LED flashes and the
buzzer sounds to warn the user of the error.
When START/PAUSE is pressed again, the drying cycle resumes from the point at which it was interrupted.
