When the selector is turned from OFF position to a drying programme, the icons relative to the drying phases
light up and the START/PAUSE LED flashes with green light.

The lower right display shows the maximum time of drying cycle.
If an option that is incompatible with the selected cycle is entered, the Buzzer sounds, the Display shows Err

Selecting one or more options the Display shows an increase or decrease of the time.
If the position of the selector is changed after choosing the options, but before pressing START/PAUSE

5.1 Operation of a cycle

A drying cycle starts after a programme has been selected using the selector, one option (if necessary) has
been selected and the START/PAUSE pushbutton has been pressed.
The LED corresponding to the START/PAUSE button remains lit with green light and, at the same time, the LED
corresponding to the phase currently being performed lights and the display shows the maximum drying time.
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 180 minutes at full power and 240 minutes at 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.
•
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, the green LED of the START / PAUSE button starts flashing, the
buzzer sounds to warn the user that an incorrect operation has been attempted and the display shows <<Err>>.
If any button is pressed, the green LED of the START / PAUSE button starts flashing, the buzzer sounds to warn
the user that an incorrect operation has been attempted and the display shows <<Err>>.
The options can be selected only after selecting a drying programme at the beginning of the cycle, or during a
cycle after pressing the START/PAUSE button.
To cancel a drying cycle, it is necessary to turn the programme selector to OFF.

5.2 Operation in PAUSE mode

If START/PAUSE is pressed while a drying cycle is being performed, the dryer interrupts the current cycle, the
green LED of the START / PAUSE button flashes and the display shows time to end.
If the selector is turned, the buzzer warns the user of the error.
In this situation, only certain options can be modified, see table of OPTIONS.
If the button relative to an option that cannot be selected is pressed, the buzzer sounds to warn the user of the
error and the display shows <<Err>>.
When START/PAUSE is pressed again, the drying cycle resumes from the point at which it was interrupted.
