2. To deactivate the child lock, keep the same button pressed for 3 seconds again.

When the drying machine is operated and the child lock is active, if the program selection button is turned, a double beeping noise will be heard. If the child lock is deactivated before the program selection button is turned to its original place, the program will be terminated because the program selection button will be displaced.

9.9 Changing the Program After It Is Started
You can change the program you selected to dry your laundry with a different program after the drying machine starts running.

1. For example, turn the On/Off/Program Selection button to select the Extra Dry program in order to select the Extra Dry program instead of Ironing Dryness after pressing the Start / Standby selection button.
2. Press the Start/Standby button to start the program.

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

1. Press the Start/Standby button to put the drying machine in Standby state.
   The drying operation stops.

2. Open the loading door while in Standby state, and close the door after you remove or add laundry.

3. Press the Start/Standby 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 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 time 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 in standby state 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.

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

9.11 End of Program
When the program ends, the LEDs of End/Wrinkle Prevention and Fiber Filter Cleaning Warning on the program follow-up indicator turn on. Loading door can be opened and drying machine is ready for another operation.
Turn the On/Off/Program Selection button to On/Off position in order to turn the drying machine off.

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 to get wrinkled. The program turns the laundry with 10-minute intervals to prevent them from wrinkling.

9.12 Odour Feature
If your drying machine has odour feature, read the ProScent user’s manual to use this feature.

9.13 SteamCure Odour and Wrinkle Removal Function
SteamCure is a refresher function that helps ironing in under-worn dry laundry and aims to reduce airborne (cigarettes, food, etc.) odours.
It is recommended to wash the clothes in order to remove the odours that can be absorbed by the clothes such as perfume, deodorant and sweat odour.
Do not dry products containing sharp and hard accessories and leather.

Filling the water tank
A blue paddle in the machine performs the watering process of the laundry.
If the paddle is on the top, you can turn the drum manually to bring it to the lower position and fill the water.
Before using the Steamcure program, the maximum level of water in the filling container must be manually filled into the paddle.
Tap or drinking water should be used for wrinkle removal.
A few drops of water that may overflow from the paddle during filling will not cause a problem.

Do not use additives or descaling agents.
Do not use liquid chemicals and chemicals that can be dissolved with liquids.

Starting the Program
The wing should be brought to the lower position and should be filled with water up to the marked area with the filling container.
The SteamCure program must be selected.
When you select the program, the screen time will appear as 10 minutes. The time program is set to the desired time by pressing the selection button and the Start/ Standy-By button is pressed.

For an effective odour removal,
it is recommended to operate 1-6 pieces of dry clothing for 50 minutes. This function does not clean clothes, it re-duces the odours and wrinkles and allows you to wear them again.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Read the “Safety Instructions” first!
If it is cleaned regularly, the life of the product will be extended and common problems will be reduced.

10.1 Fiber Filters (internal and external filters) / Cleaning of the Interior Surface of the Loading Door
The hair and fibers that are separated from the laundry during drying process is collected by the Fiber Filter.
After each drying cycle, clean the fiber filter and the inner surface of the loading door.

NOTE: Your drying machine has 2 fiber filters with one placed inside the other. Do not operate the product without the fiber filters.

To clean the fiber filters:

1. Open the loading door.
2. Hold the first part (inner filter) of the two part fiber filter and remove it by pulling it upwards.
3. Remove the second part (outer filter) by pulling it upwards. Ensure that hair, fiber and cotton balls do not fall into the open slot where the filters are installed.
4. Open both of the fiber filters (outer and inner filters) and remove the fibers with your hands or with the brush on the air deflector. You can also clean the hair in the filters with a vacuum cleaner.
5. Clean both filters under running water in reverse direction of fiber accumulation with your hand or with a soft brush. Dry the filters before placing them back.
6. Insert the fiber filters on one another and place them back in their place.
7. Clean all the inner surfaces of the loading door and its gasket with a soft damp cloth or the brush on the air deflector.

10.2 Cleaning the Sensor
The drying machine has humidity sensors that detect whether the laundry is dry or not.
To clean the sensors:

1. Open the drying machine loading door.
2. If the machine is still hot due to drying operation, wait until it cools.
3. Clean the metal surfaces of the sensor with a soft cloth dampened with vinegar and then dry.
4. Clean the metal surfaces of the sensor 4 times a year.

NOTE: Do not use metal tools to clean the sensor’s metal surfaces.

Due to fire and explosion hazard, do not use solutions, cleaning materials or similar materials to clean sensors.

10.3 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 ever remove the water tank while the program is running!
If you forget to empty the water tank, during the next drying sessions the machine will stop operating when the water tank com-pletely fills and a Water Tank warning icon will blink. In this case empty the water tank and to continue drying operation, press the Start / Standby button.

To drain the water tank:

1. Pull the water tank out from its drawer carefully.
2. Remove the water in the water tank.
3. If fiber is accumulated in the funnel on the water tank, remove it under running water.
4. Place back the water tank.

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

10.4 Cleaning the Condenser
The hair and the fiber that are not collected by the fiber filter accumulates on the metal surface of the condenser behind the air deflector. These fibers should be cleaned regularly.
If the condenser cleaning icon is blinking, check the metal surface. Clean the fiber, if there is any. It must be checked at least every 6 months.

1. Open the kickplate by pulling its handle.
2. Move the latches to open the air deflector lid.
3. Pull the brush to the left to remove it. You can use the cleaning brush to clean the fiber accumulated on filter, metal surface of condenser and loading door.

The cleaning brush is inside the manual bag. You can get your brush from the manual bag and insert it to its place on the air deflector to store it.

Clean the fiber on the metal surface of the condenser with damp cloth or with the brush on the air deflector in up – down direction.
Do not clean in left – right direction since it will damage the metal plates of the condenser.
You can also 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 the condenser, drag the brush to the right and lock it in its place.

After the cleaning process is completed, place the air deflector cover to its place, close the latches by moving them and close the kickplate.

NOTE: 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 at the plastic section in front of the condenser.
If you see fiber accumulation on the fan cover and the kickplate, remove it with a cloth.

Do not put weight on the kickplate when it is open.

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