PROGRAMS Your choice of program will depend on what you wish to do with the fabrics after tumble drying. The programs are Extra dry, Dry, Nor- mal dry, Iron dry, Timed dry and Air fluff. Extra dry This program is designed for washing that is extremely difficult to dry, eg, jeans with very thick seams.
Anti-crease program Using the Anti-crease program you can prevent garments from lying still and becoming unne- cessarily creased at the end of tumble drying. This is a helpful option if you cannot take out garments promptly at the end of the tumbling phase.
