• For example, Pause the program and turn the On/Off/Program Selection button to select the Extra Dry program to select the Extra Dry program instead of Ironing Dryness.
• Press the Start/Stand-by button to start the program.

Adding and removing clothes during standby
If you want to add or remove clothes to/from the drying machine after the drying program starts:

• Press the Start/Stand-by button to put the drying machine in the Stand-by state. The drying operation stops.
• Open the loading door while in a Stand-by state, and close the door after you remove or add laundry.
• Press the Start/Stand-by button to start the program.
• Adding laundry after the drying operation starts may cause the dried laundry inside the drying machine to mix with wet laundry and leave the laundry damp at the end of the operation.
• Adding or removing laundry during drying may be repeated as many times as you wish. But this operation continuously interrupts the drying operation and thus increases program duration and energy consumption. So, it is recommended to add laundry before the program starts.
• If a new program is selected by turning the program selection button while the drying machine is on standby, the running program terminates.
• Do not touch the inner surface of the drum while adding or removing clothes during a continuing program. The drum surface is hot.

Cancelling the program
If you want to cancel the program and terminate the drying operation for any reason after the drying machine starts running, Pause the program and turn the On/Off/Program Selection button; the program terminates.

• The inside of the drying machine shall be extremely hot when you cancel the program during machine operation, so run the refreshing program to allow it to cool down.

End of program

• When the program ends, the LEDs of End/Wrinkle Prevention and Fibre Filter Cleaning Warning on the program follow-up indicator turn on. The loading door can be opened and the drying machine is ready for another operation.
• Turn the On/Off/Program Selection button to the On/Off position to turn off the drying machine.
• If the Wrinkle Prevention mode is active and the laundry is not removed after the program is completed, the wrinkle prevention function activates for 2 hours to prevent the laundry inside the machine from getting wrinkled. The program tumbles the laundry at 10-minute intervals to prevent them from wrinkling.

Odour feature
If your drying machine has an odour feature, read the ProScent manual to use this feature.

General Description of Steam Programs

Steam cycles
You may use the steam function in cycles that are marked with a blue line in your machine panel. It is necessary to use the dryer to group your clothes depending on their types and thicknesses when you use a cycle with the steam function active. Do not dry wool, leather, or clothes that contain metal parts in this cycle. Extra noise may be generated during steam generation in steam cycles. Depending on
the type, amount of laundry and the selected cycle, the result of wrinkle release and odour removal processes may differ. Upon completion of steam cycles, laundry should be immediately extracted from the machine and hung on a hanger.

Getting the machine ready
The steam tank must be filled before the initial use of the steam functioned cycles. Therefore, when using the machine for the first time, it is required to dry laundry using a steam-functioned cycle or a cycle with the steam function inactive.

How to activate the steam cycle:
When you turn on the machine and rotate the cycle navigator to the ‘Ready to Wear’ or ‘Steam Refresh’ cycles, the indicator shown in the image below will turn on.

This symbol indicates that you can run the drying cycle with a maximum load of 1.5 kg (6 pieces). To be able to dry 1 piece or 3 pieces of laundry, you need to tap the ‘Steam’ option on the screen to make the required adjustment in loading level settings.

• Once you have made the required adjustments, you may start the cycle by pressing the Start/Hold button.
• You will need to tap on the ‘Steam’ option on the screen to be able to activate the Steam function in Blend, Jeans, Cotton, Economic Cotton, and Synthetic cycles. When you tap this button, the steam function will be activated, the symbol shown below will be displayed and the cycle duration will change.
• You may start the cycle by pressing the Start/Hold button when you see the symbol displayed and the steam function is activated.
  • If the steam tank is empty, the icon shown below will blink. It is required to dry laundry in a cycle with the steam function inactive to fill the tank.

Maintenance and cleaning

Read the “Safety Instructions” first!

Lint filters (internal and external filters)/Cleaning of the Interior Surface of the Loading Door
The hair and fibres that are separated from the laundry during the drying process are collected by the Lint filter.

• After each drying cycle, clean the lint filter and the inner surface of the loading door.
• NOTICE
  Your drying machine has 2 lint filters with one placed inside the other. Do not operate the product without the lint filters.

To clean the lint filter:

• Open the loading door.
• Hold the first part (inner filter) of the two-parting filter and remove it by pulling it upwards.
• Remove the second part (outer filter) by pulling it upwards.
  • Ensure that hair, fibre and cotton balls do not fall into the slot where the filters are installed.
• Open both of the lint filters (outer and inner) and remove the fibres with your hands or with the brush on the air deflector. You can clean the hair in the filters with a vacuum cleaner.
• Clean both filters underwater running in the reverse direction of fibre accumulation or with a soft brush. Dry the filter before placing it back.
• Insert the lint filters into one another and place them back in their place.
• Clean the inner surface of the loading door and the gasket with a soft damp cloth or the brush on the air deflector.

Cleaning the sensor
The drying machine has humidity sensors that detect whether the laundry is dry.

To clean the sensors:

• Open the drying machine loading door.
• If the machine is hot due to drying operation, wait until it cools.
• Clean the metal surfaces of the sensor with a soft cloth dampened with vinegar and then dry.
  • Clean the metal surfaces of the sensor 4 times a year.
  • Do not use metal tools to clean the sensors’ metal surfaces.
  • Due to fire and explosion hazards, do not use solutions, cleaning materials or similar tools to clean sensors.

Emptying the water tank
During drying, the moisture is removed from the laundry and condensed, then the water is accumulated in the water tank. Empty the water tank after each drying session.

• Condensed water is not potable water!
• Do not remove the water tank as the program is running!

If you do not empty the water tank, during the next drying sessions the machine will stop operating due to the water tank being full and a Water Tank warning icon will blink. In this case empty the water tank and to continue the drying operation, press the Start / Stand-by button.

To drain the water tank:

• Pull the water tank out from its drawer carefully.

• Drain the water in the tank.

• Remove the water tank in the drawer or the kickplate carefully.

• If fibre is accumulated in the funnel on the water tank, remove it under running water.

• Place back the water tank.

• If a direct discharge option is used, the water tank is not required to be drained.

Cleaning the condenser
The hair and the fibre that is not collected by the lint filter accumulate on the metal surface of the condenser behind the air deflector. These fibres shall be cleaned regularly.

If the condenser cleaning icon blinks, check the metal surface. If there is any fibre, clean it. It must be checked at least every 6 months.

The cleaning brush is inside the documentation bag. Get your brush from the documentation bag and insert it to its place on the air deflector to store it.

• Clean the fibre on the metal surface of the condenser with a damp cloth or the brush on the air deflector in an up-down direction. Do not clean in the left-right direction since it will damage the metal plates of the condenser.
• You can use a vacuum cleaner with a brush for cleaning. If the vacuum cleaner does not have a brush, it is not recommended to be used for condenser cleaning.
• After cleaning the filter, door and condenser, drag the brush to the right and lock it in its place.
• After the cleaning process is completed, place the air deflector cover in its place, move the latches to close it and close the toe board.
• You can clean by hand, provided you wear protective gloves. Do not try to clean with bare hands. The condenser fins may damage your hands. Cleaning from left to right may damage the condenser fins. This may lead to drying issues.
• When the air deflector cover is removed, it is normal to have water in the plastic section in front of the condenser.

NOTICE
Do not use abrasive materials or steel wool to clean the drum.
