12.8 Drying cycle duration
The drying time can change depending
on:
• speed of the last spin
• dryness level
• type of laundry
• weight of the load size
GENERAL TIPS
Refer to the «Drying programmes» table
to find the average drying times.
The experience will help you to dry the
laundry in a more correct way. Take note
of the duration drying time of the cycles
done before.
To avoid the static charge at the end of
the drying cycle:
• Use fabric conditioner in the washing
cycle.
• Use special fabric conditioner for tum-
ble dryers.
When the drying programme is completed
remove the laundry in a short time.
12.9 Additional drying
If, at the end of the drying programme,
the laundry is still damp, set a short drying
cycle again.
WARNING!
To avoid creases of fabrics or
shrinks of the clothing do not
over dry the laundry.
13. CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING!
Before maintenance, disconnect the ap-
pliance from the mains supply.
13.1 External cleaning
Clean the appliance only with soap and
warm water. Fully dry all the surfaces.
CAUTION!
Do not use alcohol, solvents or
chemical products.
13.2 Descaling
If the water hardness in your area is high
or moderate, we recommend that you use
a water softener for washing machines.
Regularly examine the drum to prevent
limescale and rust particles.
To remove rust particles use only special
products for washing machine. Do this
separately from the laundry wash.
Always obey the instructions that
you find on the packaging of the
product.
13.3 Maintenance wash
With the low temperature programmes it
is possible that some detergent stays in
the drum. Make regularly a maintenance
wash. To do this:
• Remove the laundry from the drum.
• Set the cotton programme with the
highest temperature with a small quan-
tity of detergent.
13.4 Door seal
Regularly examine the seal and remove all
objects from the inner part.
