dryness selected, it will automatically finish
the Drying Cycle. The dryer will run for a
minimum of 5 minutes. This allows the dryer
cabinet and drum to heat up to a stable
temperature. During which time the dryness
sensing temperatures are ignored.
The cycle times for the ED 55 and ED56
dryer on the regular setting are a minimum of
5 minutes to a maximum of 150 minutes.
Whilst on the ED56 dryer on the low setting
the cycle times are from a minimum of 5
minutes to a maximum of 250 minutes.
These are the maximum times the dryer will
run for if the load is too large, too wet or the
lint filter is blocked.
After the Drying Cycle a ten minute Cool
Down or Airing cycle commences. During the
Airing Cycle the drum tumbles, blowing cool
air through the clothes to help prevent
creasing. At the end of the Airing Cycle the
Dryer will beep for 15 seconds to tell you that
the clothes are ready.
