Drying cycle options
All drying cycles default to the recommended options for that cycle based on
the average expected load to be dried using that cycle. You can vary the options (eg ‘Dryness Level’, ‘Dry Temp’) to
create your desired cycle. Note: some options are not available on some cycles, for clothes care reasons, or because
the option is not appropriate for the cycle.
To change a drying option or options you have selected after a cycle has started, touch
and select your new setting, then touch
again to resume the cycle with the new setting or settings.
Some options may not be available for selection under certain conditions and after
particular stages of the drying cycle have passed.
Dryness Level
Your dryer takes the guess work out of choosing drying times by
sensing the dryness of the load. When your dryer senses that the
clothes have dried to the dryness level you have selected, the
dryer will automatically finish the cycle.
The dryer has five dryness levels from Damp through to Extra
Dry. Choose the dryness level to suit your load depending on
how dry you wish for your clothes to be. If you find the load is not
dry enough, select the next dryness level up. The higher the
level, the longer the drying time and the drier your clothes will
become. Dryness levels

Two lights are used to show some dryness
levels. For example, to achieve the Damp
Dry setting both the Dry and the Damp
lights will be illuminated.
Airing/Cool down (Cool)
When the dryer has sensed that the load is dry it will
automatically go into a 10 minute airing or cool down cycle.
During ‘Cool’ the drum tumbles and cool air is blown through the
clothes. This cools the load to reduce creasing if the clothes are
left in the dryer. Cool down mode
Dry Temp
There are four drying temperatures you can choose from:
• High: Hot air up to 80°C is circulated through the
clothes.
• Medium: Warm air limited to 70°C, is circulated
through the load.
• Low: Uses warm air up to 60°C.
• No heat: Cool air is blown through the dryer for the
period selected.
Touch the ‘Dry Temp’ button until the light next to your desired
drying temperature is illuminated. Dry temp

Wrinkle Free
If you wish to minimise wrinkling, select one of the ‘Wrinkle Free’
options. At the end of the cycle, the drum will rotate periodically
and cool air will be circulated through the load to minimise
wrinkling and creasing. This is particularly useful if you cannot
remove the items immediately after the cycle ends. There are two
wrinkle free options:
‘On’ provides ‘Wrinkle Free’ operation for 2 hours. ‘Extra’
provides ‘Wrinkle Free’ operation for 24 hours.
If you wish to stop the dryer at any stage during the ‘Wrinkle
Free’ stage of the cycle, simply touch
. You can then open the dryer door and remove your items. Press
to stop the cycle and turn the dryer off.
Wrinkle Free Option
Signal
The ‘Signal’ option automatically defaults to ‘On’ for all cycles.
This means a series of beeps will sound at the end of a cycle, to
alert you that the dryer has finished. You can turn the ‘Signal’ off
by touching the ‘Signal’ button twice (no lights will then be
illuminated).
When you select a dryness level above damp/dry and wish your
dryer to alert you to remove items once your load reaches the
damp/dry stage, touch the ‘Signal’ button once to select ‘Damp
Dry’. Ensure ‘On’ is also selected. When your load reaches the
damp/dry stage, the dryer will beep to alert you to remove your
items, then continue drying until the remaining load reaches the
dryness level you selected.

There are a number of indicators to alert you when you need to
attend to your dryer, either to clean the lint filter, empty the water
tank or to clean the condenser (refer to pages 23 and 24 for more
information).
Indicators

This option enables you to deactivate the buttons on the display panel, except for the
and
buttons. This option helps prevent accidental button presses.

button for two seconds to turn Keylock off. Select your drying cycle, any options and then touch
to start the cycle.
Delay Start
The ‘Delay Start’ option enables you to delay the start of the drying cycle from between 5 minutes and 12 hours.
Times you can select are 5 min, 15 min, 30 min, 1 hour, then hourly up to 12 hours. This can be useful to time
your drying to finish when you arrive home from work, or to start when power rates are lower.
To program a ‘Delay Start’, simply touch the ‘More’
button to increase the delay time and ‘Less’
button to decrease the time or to turn ‘Delay Start’ off. Touch
to confirm your selection and start the countdown. Once the ‘Delay Start’ has been started, the time will count
down on the digital display in one minute increments, the ‘Delay Start’ light will flash and the
light will stop flashing and turn on solid.
if you hold the ‘More’
button down, the time displayed on the screen will increase after every half a second
(more convenient than touching the button repetitively). To remove a delay start time once
it is counting down, simply touch
, then touch the ‘Less’
button to decrease the time to zero. Touch
to start the cycle immediately.

We suggest that you avoid using ‘Delay Start’ for damp, non-colourfast items as this may
cause dye run to occur.
Customizing dryer cycles
After using your dryer a few times you may discover there are some drying options you prefer for some cycles.
You can program your dryer to remember the drying options you prefer for each drying cycle. For instance, you
may want to set the ‘Easy Iron’ cycle to a lower drying temperature or set the ‘Everyday’ cycle so it automatically
has the ‘Wrinkle Free’ option selected.
To customize a cycle:
1. Press
to turn the machine on.
2. Turn the dial to select the cycle you wish to customs.
3. Touch and hold any of the drying options buttons for 3 seconds. The lights will flash on and off to indicate that
the machine is in cycle adjustment mode.
4. Select the drying options you prefer by touching the relevant option button.
5. Touch
to save the selected settings. The dryer will then beep to indicate your customized cycle has been saved.
Factory reset
You can reset your dryer to the default settings it left the factory with:
1. Turn the dial to select the ‘Freshen’ cycle.
2. Touch and hold the ‘Delay Start’, ‘More’
, the ‘Delay Start’, ‘Less’
