8.2 Drying

Preparing The Drying Cycle
As a dryer, the appliance works on
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.
ATTENTION!
Before starting the drying program,
reduce the loads of washed laundry, in
order to obtain good performances.
Laundry 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, bed covers, quilts, sleeping
bags and duvets must not be machine
dried.
●
Avoid drying dark clothes with light
coloured fluffy items such as towels as
these can attract fluff.
●
Remove the laundry when the
appliance has finished drying.
●
To avoid a static charge when drying
is completed, use either a fabric
softener when you are washing the
laundry or a fabric conditioner
specifically for tumble dryers.
●
Garments padded with foam-rubber or
materials similar to foam-rubber must
not be machine dried; they represent
a fire hazard.
●
Also, fabrics containing residue of
setting lotions or hair sprays, nail
solvents or similar solutions must not
be machine dried to avoid the
formation of harmful vapours.
The detergent and any additives must be
placed in the appropriate compartments
of the dispenser drawer before starting
the wash program.
If using liquid detergents, a program
without "prewash
" must be selected.
Garment Labels
For drying, follow the indications given on
the manufacturer's labels:
= May be tumble dried

Drying Cycle Duration
The drying time may vary depending on:
●
speed of the final spin;
● dryness level required (Extra dry,
Cupboard dry, Iron dry);
● type of laundry;
● weight of the load size .
The average drying time for a timed
drying are indicated in the "Dry Time
option (see page 13). The experience will
help you to dry your laundry in a more
suitable way according to the different
fabrics.
Additional Drying
If the laundry is still damp at the end of
the drying program, select a short drying
cycle again.
WARNING!
Do not over dry the laundry in order to
avoid creasing of fabrics or garments
shrinking.
