OPERATION ARRANGING ITEMS FOR DRYING There are three sets of hangers inside the cabinet. Each set has a number of rails for hanging items to dry, as described below. The most efficient drying results are obtained by hanging the items in this way. Hang the items in the drying cabinet according to how much space they require – not according to their weight. For most effective drying, do not position items laid flat on the upper hanger section.
DRYING PROGRAMMES This drying cabinet is equipped with automatic programmes and manual programmes for efficient drying of textiles of different types. The automatic programmes automatically switch off the drying process when the textiles are dry. During the last 10 minutes, the heat is switched off while the fan cools down the textiles (cooling-down period). The manually time-controlled programmes stop after a set time has been counted down.
CHILD LOCK To ensure that the drying process is not halted or started by mistake, a child lock function can be activated. FUNCTION OF THE CHILD LOCK Activation buttons must be held down for at least 3 seconds (the delay time). ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION OF CHILD LOCK The child lock is activated and deactivated using a setting parameter described on page 21. When the button is activated, a clock symbol appears on the display.

CARE CLEANING ______________________________________ NOTE: High-pressure cleaning must not be used. ______________________________________ p p The walls of the cabinet should be cleaned with a mild soap solution and a damp cloth. Dust tends to gather around the air intake below the cabinet and on the top of the cabinet. This may cause disturbance which in turn may lead to breakdowns in operation. REPLACEMENT PARTS If the power cord for any reason is damaged, it must be replaced.
THERMAL CUT-OUT The cabinet is fitted with a thermal cut-out that is reset automatically when the temperature inside the cabinet has fallen to an acceptable level. The reset delay varies between 10 and 15 minutes from the time when the thermal cut-out was tripped. The cabinet cannot be restarted while the thermal cut-out is tripped. If this happens, always wait for 15 minutes and then try to restart the cabinet before reporting a fault. If there are repeated cut-outs, contact your supplier.
