nHow to Dry Only
Once you have loaded the drum with the laundry that needs drying, (see “Load Types/Sizes and Dry Times,” p. 12) make sure that:
•The door is closed correctly; The plug is secured in the socket; The water supply is turned on; The On/Off button (I) is in the OFF (OUT) position.
•Depending on the type of fabric being dried, turn the Program Selector knob (A) clockwise until one of the three “Dry” programs is aligned with the mark on the knob.
A spin cycle is carried out during drying if you select the
!Cotton Heavy Duty dry program. For cotton loads of less than 2.2 lbs., use the drying program for Permanent Press fabrics.
•Set the Dry Time knob (C) to the desired dry time.
•Press the On/Off button (I) to turn the machine ON. The Status/Door Lock lamp (L) will flash slowly for 5 seconds, then will light steady to indicate that the program has been accepted.
At the end of the drying cycle:
•The Status/Door Lock lamp (L) will flash quickly for up to 90 seconds to indicate that the cycle is finished, but the door is still locked.
•When the Status/Door Lock lamp (L) light flashes slowly, turn the washer- dryer OFF by pressing the On/Off button (I).
•Open the door and remove your laundry (See “A Special Note About Condenser Drying,” above on this page).
•After removing your laundry, leave the door open to allow for air circulation inside the drum to avoid the formation of bad odors.
Warning:
nHow to Wash & Dry Automatically
If you want your load to go automatically from wash to dry:
•Load the drum according to the recommended maximum load sizes for drying. (See “Wash Through Dry Loads,” p. 12).
To protect your delicate fabrics, this machine will not
!allow a dry program to be set when the Silk or Wool program is selected.
IMPORTANT: To optimize the performance of your machine
!when going from wash to dry automatically, always use fabric softener during the wash cycle (“About Laundry Aids,” p. 10).
•Simply follow the instructions for wash only (see “How to Wash,” p. 15) and set the Dry Time knob (C) before pressing the On/Off button (I). Refer to the “How to Dry Only,” section on this page.
•The Auto Dry lamp (M) will light to indicate that the dry timer has been set and at the end of the wash cycle, the appliance will run the selected tumble drying cycle.
If the laundry load to be washed and dried is too large to dry, then follow the instructions for wash only (see “How to Wash,” p. 14). When the wash cycle has finished,you’ll need to remove some items (up to 50%) after the wash cycle to give the remaining ones room to tumble freely while drying. Now follow the instructions for dry only (see “How to Dry Only,” this page). Repeat this procedure for the remainder of the load.
Opening the door during the dry cycle: For your safety, the door lock stays engaged for the duration of the dry cycle (see “Features,” p. 7). However, should you wish to open the door during the drying cycle, you have two options:
•You can cancel the program by advancing the Program Selector knob
(A)to a “Reset” position and waiting 5 seconds. Pilot lamp (L) will flash quickly, then slowly when the door lock is released. Now, turn the appliance off and open the door. When finished, close the door and follow instructions for dry only (“How to Dry Only,” this page).
•Or, press the On/Off button (I) to turn the appliance off. Wait
