and the correct temperature.
Crease Care
The pre-care option is only available if a delayed start has
been selected. It tumbles the clothes occasionally during
the delayed period to help prevent creases developing. The
post-care option occasionally tumbles the clothes after the
end of the drying and cool tumble cycles to prevent creases
developing, should you not be available to remove the load
immediately the programme is complete.The End light is on
during this phase. Note: The Start/Pause light flashes Amber
