tains, woollens, silk, any containing foam-
rubber or similar materials.
IMPORTANT
Only materials which have previously been
washed with water can be dried with hot
air, never try to dry any garments which
have been treated with inflammable pro-
ducts (petrol, alcohol, wax, stain removers,
etc.) due to the fire risk which this poses.
The maximum load which is recommen-
ded is 2.5/3 kg (half of the maximum
washing machine load) of dry clothing in
the case of resistant materials and 1.5 kg
for delicate garments. That is to say, if
you carry out a washing programme with
a full load and then intend to dry it, the
garments should be divided into two
loads for drying.
Programmes
Your washing machine-dyer has two basic
drying programmes:
– Resistant garments, cotton (position S)
– Delicate garments, synthetics (position
D)
Both of them are selected with the
Programme Selector Control (6).
The D drying programme runs at a lower
temperature than does the S programme.
You can run dry-only programmes or was-
hing programmes followed by a drying
programme (consecutive wash-dry).
N.B.
Remember that it is a good idea to allow
the washing machine to even up the final
temperature to prevent any creases from
forming. Therefore, should you wish to stop
a drying cycle which is still running, you
are advised to turn the Drying Time
Selector Control (7) to the mark, which
will enable the ventilation to function with
cold air for a few minutes.
Drying time
You will need to experiment for a period of
time in order to select the appropriate
drying time, which will depend on the
materials and size of the garments and the
load.
Nevertheless, the following table gives
some rough estimates.
