Basic Description of Controls
The Creation of a Dryer Program • • •
•
A Dryer Program is built up step by step. Each step always consists of a Dry sequence and a Cooldown sequence. You will notice that each step has default settings. This feature is very helpful as most of the newly created programs will not require changes to be made to the suggested values.
Limits: • Dry Temperature : 1 - 70 °C
Programming the Dry Time •
Limits: • Dry Time : 0 – 120 Minutes
Programming the Cooldown Time
Programming the Dryer sequence :
•
• •
Programming the Cooldown Temperature
First set the target temperature. Then set the Dry time or Humidity (only applies to machines fitted with a humidity sensor).
•
Programming the Cooldown sequence : • • •
After programming the Dry sequence, next program the Cooldown sequence. Set the parameter to stop the Cooldown sequence : Time or Temperature As you will notice it’s also possible to skip a sequence between two other sequences by programming a time value = 0. )
The Anti-Wrinkle sequence : •
Limits: • Cooldown Temperature : 1 - 70 °C
Programming the Motor On and Off times for Reversing • •
The standard Reversing Motor On and Off times are 40 Seconds On and 5 Seconds Off. Limits: • Reversing motor on Off times : 3 – 300 Seconds
Programming the anti-wrinkle sequence •
To avoid Wrinkling, its recommended that the linen is reversed each 2 to 10 minutes once the drying cycle has finished and the machine is not unloaded. A beep signal warns the operator that the cycle has been finished.
Limits: • Cooldown Time : 0 – 120 Minutes
• •
WARNING
The drum is turning each 2 to 10 minutes for 5 seconds for a max programmable time of 3 hours. A buzzer is beeping when the drum turns. Limits: • Action time Drum : 3 – 180 seconds • Interval time Drum at rest: 1 – 15 minutes • Anti-wrinkle time : 15 – 180 minutes
A MORE DETAILED EXPLANATION FOR THE SPECIFIC SEQUENCES CAN BE FOUND IN CHAPTER PROGRAMMING. C105
The Final Cooldown sequence : •
• •
To avoid that the linen stays in the dryer with a too high temperature, for safety purposes, a Final Cooldown sequence is added at the end of the program. The Final Cooldown sequence takes 3 minutes if the temperature is above 50 °C, then the program is finished. The Final Cooldown sequence cannot be changed.
Programming the Functions Limits: • •
To ensure the correct functionality of the dryer you have to program values within certain limits. If you program a value that falls below the minimal or above the maximal programmable limit then the new value will not be accepted and the previous value stays valid.

At the drying process with humidity control, the air humidity is measured by an absolute air humidity sensor. The graph shows the absolute air humidity in function of time. When a drying cycle is started, the air humidity will go up quickly as the heating system starts up, then the air humidity will decrease bit by bit. The dryer computer humidity sensor measures this value and calculates the corresponding residual humidity of the linen. The residual humidity is the remaining amount of water in wet linen

H XX : The residual humidity value is below 30% (the linen gets dry)
Above 30% residual humdity, the linen is so wet that there is no accurate measurement. For this reason there is not shown a value on the display, just two dashes. It can take 10 to 40 minutes, depending the amount of load and how wet the linen is, before the Residual Humidity Value is shown on the display. The default programmed value for residual humidity of linen is 5%. IMPORTANT: While the dryer is running, do not open and close the door, it disturbs the humidity control measurement.
WARNING CERTAIN FABRICS CAN GET DAMAGED WHEN DRYED UNTIL A RESIDUAL HUMIDITY OF 0%. (BONE DRY). CERTAIN FABRICS GET ELECTROSTATIC CHARGED FOR A RESIDUAL HUMIDITY BELOW 5% (WHICH SHOULD BE AVOIDED). C132
WARNING THE HUMIDITY CONTROL SYSTEM IS NOT MADE TO RUN WITHOUT LOAD OR WITH A VERY SMALL LOAD. THE SYSTEM CAN ONLY FUNCTION IN A NORMAL WAY WHEN THERE IS SUFFICIANT EVAPORATION TO BE MEASURED BY THE AIR HUMIDITY SENSOR. C133

CHECK CORRECT DRYER OPERATION WITH A NORMAL AMOUNT OF WET LINEN. C178
Troubleshooting problems with Humidity Control: Operation with a small load of laundry The humidity control system is not designed for operation without any load, or with a very small load. It is advisable to set the maximum dry time after which the drying operation will be terminated • (Refer to chapter Programming the drying part). Check dust filter cap When humidity control does not work, check if the dust filter cap is missing. The dust filter cap is a white cover that must not be removed from the sensor device. The dust filter cap allows air to pass. Check door lock system When the dryer door is not completely closed, air from the room is sucked in the dryer. This causes a wrong air humidity measurement. Make sure the dryer can only run when the door is in the closed (locked) position. (When door is still 10 mm open, it should not be possible to start a dryer program.) 50
Part No. D1621ENR2
Troubleshooting
Check heating and airflow The air humidity measurement can only function when there is sufficient water evaporation from the linen. Evaporation can only happen when the, air and indirectly the linen is sufficiently heated. If the dryer has to run with reduced heating power, the airflow must be sufficiently reduced so there is still evaporation. Example: • There is in sufficient Electrical Current available at the building. • The dryer works with only 50% of it's electrical heating power. • The airflow must be sufficiently reduced so there is still enough evaporation inside the dryer to allow optimal humidity control. Check final drying temperature At a normal drying process, the outlet air temperature reaches the programmed target value when the linen gets dry. For a correct drying process: when humidity control stops the dryer, the dryer must have reached, before the end of the drying cycle, the programmed target temperature value. If this is not the case, probably there will not have occured sufficient evaporation at the drying process because of reduced heating power. And the air humidity measurement will not have been accurate to allow optimal humidity control. Linen must be sorted A mixture of linen in the dryer can not result in an equal drying result. It is a good practice that the same kind of linen is sorted and dryed together, (Coton, Synthetic). In case of Humidity Control, a mixture of all kinds of linen will not give a good overall drying result. Thin - Thick Fabrics Thick fabrics, like jeans or trousers, need a long drying time. Dryer program will stop when fabrics are mostly dry, but inside pockets will still feel damp. In case of thin fabrics, where the linen is sewed together there may be damp spots. Humidity Control stops the dryer when the linen is dry, based on the measured air humidity. Correct Load in Drum Some fabrics need more space in dryer than others. It is important to choose the right size of dryer to obtain a good airflow. •
If there is more linen in the drum, the airflow will be restricted and the linen will not be dried evenly.
