IMPORTANT INFORMATION: A 10 minute ‘Cool Tumble’ phase at the end of
each drying cycle allows fabrics to gently cool down, minimising creasing.
All fabrics contain a little natural moisture even when ‘dry’, this should not
be lost if the clothes are to remain soft and fluffy. If clothes are subjected
to extreme drying they tend to wrinkle and consequently need more
ironing than usual. As clothes feel damper when warm, allow for this
when removing items before the ‘Cool Tumble’ phase is complete.
This machine incorporates a ‘Dry Spin’ feature, see Automatic Features.

dry features (STEP 5),
