ProSense® Technology

This technology automatically adjusts the drying time and energy consumption based on the load size and moisture level, preventing over-drying and protecting your garments.

Sensor Drying

The dryer's electronics measure the humidity in the fabrics and automatically end the drying cycle when the desired dryness level is reached. You can select levels like 'iron dry' for slightly damp clothes or 'extra dry' for ready-to-wear results.

Additional Options

• Delay Start: Postpone the start of the drying cycle to a more convenient time.
• Time Drying: Manually set a specific drying duration.
• Delicate Option: Provides extra gentle care for sensitive items.
• Anti-crease: Reduces creasing by periodically tumbling the load after the cycle ends.
• Reverse Tumble Action: Loosens clothes and prevents tangling and creasing during the cycle.

Starting the Cycle

Press the 'Start/Pause' button to begin the selected drying program.

Care and Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficiency of your tumble dryer.

Cleaning the Lint Filter

The lint filter must be cleaned after every drying cycle. This prevents lint build-up, which can reduce drying efficiency and pose a fire risk. The filter is typically located inside the door opening.

Emptying the Water Container

As a condenser dryer, moisture is collected in a removable water container. This container needs to be emptied after each cycle or when the indicator light illuminates.
