Drying functions

Sensor Dry Cycles

• Automatic Drying programs
• Humidity sensors are activated throughout each cycle to eliminate over drying, which can be harmful to fabrics.

Time Dry

You can set the program duration, from a minimum of 10 minutes to a maximum of 2 hours. The required duration is related to the quantity of laundry in the appliance.

If you find your tumble dryer ending the cycle and switching off after a few minutes of during Automatic Drying program cycles, it might be useful to check the following.

• Load is too small for an automatic drying cycle, use the Time Dry program.
• If you are finishing off clothes in the dryer that have been dried on a clothesline or if the load is very small, use the Time Dry program.
• Make sure that the filter is clean. Check the fluff filter is clean and empty before the drying cycle.
• Check if the “water tank full” indicator is lit (if present). The appliance will stop the cycle if the water tank is full. Empty the tank and restart the cycle.
