Drying times

The drying time depends on the size of the load and on the type of fabric it contains (see Table).
The cool tumble cycle runs during the final 10 minutes of the programme.
! For large loads, select the High Heat option if available.

Drying times are approximate and may vary depending on the following:
• Amount of water retained by items after the spin cycle: towels and delicate items retain a lot of water.
• Fabrics: items of the same fabric, but with different texture and thickness may have different drying times.
• Amount of laundry: single items and small loads will take a short time to dry.
• Drying: if items are to be ironed, they can be removed from the dryer while still slightly damp. Items that require complete drying
can be left longer.
• Temperature of the room: the lower the temperature of the room, the longer it will take for the dryer to dry clothing.
• Bulk: certain bulky items require special care during the drying process. We suggest removing these items and replacing them in
the dryer once they have been shaken out: repeat this procedure several times during the course of the drying cycle.
!
Do not over-dry items.
All fabrics contain natural dampness which helps to keep them soft and fluffy.
