Preparing the drying cycle

As a dryer, the machine works on the

condensation principle.

Therefore, the water tap must be open and the

drain hose must drain water into a sink or into

the drain pipe, even during the drying cycle.

Load

Warning:

Loads of washed laundry exceeding these

values must be divided before being dried,

otherwise poor results will be obtained.

Garments not suitable for drying

¥ Particularly delicate items such as synthetic

curtains, woollen and silk, garments with

metal inserts, nylon stockings, bulky

garments such as anoraks, bedcovers, quilts,

sleeping bags and duvets must not be

machine dried.

¥ Garments padded with foam-rubber or

materials similar to foam-rubber must not be

machine dried; they represent a fire hazard.

¥ Also, fabrics containing residues of setting

lotions or hair sprays, nail solvents or similar

solutions must not be machine dried in order

to avoid the formation of harmful vapours.

Drying symbols on garment labels

Always look at the garment label to check

whether garments can be machine dried.

The following symbols refer to drying:

Machine drying is usually possible

Normal drying (normal temperature)

Gentle drying (reduced temperature)

Do not machine dry

Duration of the drying cycle

The drying time can vary according to

¥ the final spin speed,

¥ the required degree of drying,

¥ the type of laundry

¥ the size of load.

The usual drying times for the time controlled

drying are indicated in the programme chart. As

you become more familiar with the appliance,

you will discover the drying times that best suit

your needs according to the various type of

fabric. It is a good idea to make a note of these

times.

The following are the degrees of final drying

which can be selected with the automatic drying:

¥ Cotton

- Extra dry

- Store dry

- Iron dry

¥ Synthetics

- Store dry

To finish off drying or to dry small loads you can

choose a time controlled drying.

When selecting the drying time you should

remember that it includes a 10 minute cooling

phase.

This phase cannot be shortened, stopped or

avoided, as this could cause skin burns or

damage the laundry.

Additional drying

Should the laundry still be too wet at the end of

the programme, set another short drying time.

Warning! To prevent the formation of creases

or shrinking of fabrics, avoid excessive

drying.

Fibre residue

After drying fluffy fabrics, such as new towels, it

is advisable to perform the rinse programme to

be sure that any residue that may remain in the

tub is completely removed and does not stick to

garments dried afterwards.

After each drying cycle the filter should be

checked and cleaned if necessary.
