Symbols:

 Drying time symbol    Drying time

 Delay start symbol    Delay start

  Conductivity adjustment symbol   Conductivity adjustment (dryness level)

Adapting the dryer to water conductivity - The drying results are affected by the conductivity of the water used during washing. If, by modifying the available dryness levels (damp dry, dry, and extra dry), you are not satisfied with the final drying results, you can adapt the water conductivity level. The dryer comes with preset level 3. Choose between level 1 (most damp results) and 5 (most dry results). 1. Touch and hold the Program button. The display will count down until the Conductivity Adjustment symbol on the display flashes and the current setting is shown. 2. Turn the knob to adjust the level (1-2-3-4-5). Press the knob to confirm your selection. NOTE: This new setting will affect all future cycles. If the desired drying results are attained, water conductivity will not require further adjustment.

    

STATUS INDICATORS (next to control knob) These indicators will light up to alert you when certain conditions occur.

Symbol showing water tank is full  Water tank full (see “Empty Water Tank” in the “Using Your Dryer” section of your Owner's Manual).
