a matter of fact, each housewife will
soon work out specific times from her
own personal experience.
Here, then is a general indication of
these average drying times:
with a drum load of normal laundry (up
to 2,5 kgs. = 5.5 lbs): approximately
80^100 minutes for ironing dry, and
approx. 120^140 minutes for ready-to-
put-away drying.
With a drum load of easy-care clothes,
(up to 1 kg = 2.2 lbs): approximately
40-7-60 minutes for ready-to-put-away
drying.
To prevent the formation of wrinkles
and creases, all clothes should be
removed from the drum without delay
after completion of a drying cycle.

cleaning
Cleaning the machine
Important: Make sure that the plug has
been removed from the socket prior to
undertaking any kind of maintenance.
From time to time, carry out a
complete cycle without a washing load,
adding 1 oz of «Calgon».
This should also be done when the
washer has been out of use for a long
time.
Leave the door ajar for about 2 hours
after the wash to allow air to circulate
freely inside th machine.
Plated, polished and plastic parts and
the glass door should be cleaned with a
soft damp cloth, never with an abrasive
cleaning powder.
For the cabinet exterior use a
lukewarm solution of mild soap, then
rinse and dry carefully.
It is also advisable to clean the cabinet,
from time to time, with a wax polish
applied with a soft cloth.
Filter cleaning
The filter (fig. 8) is located on the front
of the washer in the bottom right hand
corner. Its purpose is to collect fluff
and any small objects (safety-pins,
coins, etc) inadvertently left in the
laundry.
The filter should be cleaned
periodically.
If the articles washed are mainly
woolen items, then the frequency of
filter cleaning should be increased.
At the en of a washing programme
place the free end of the drain hose at
floor level in a basin to collect any
excess water.
