6. USING THE MACHINE FOR DRYING PURPOSES

6.1 GENERAL INFORMATION

During drying cycles it is essential that the water tap is open and that the drain hose is correctly positioned.

With this machine it is possible to set wash-only programmes, dry-only programmes and wash-dry programmes. For the latter programmes, the cycle shifts automatically from washing to drying without the controls being touched and the cycle continues after washing.

Warnings

•Only dry linen or garments washed in a water-based solution and suitable for tumble drying.

•The quantity of washing that can be introduced into the washer dryer for drying must not exceed 2.5kg. This washer dryer has been built to offer maximum performance with dry loads weighing not more than 2.5 kg.

•When intensive washing programmes are set, drying is automatically performed at 90°C (normal drying).

•For delicate programmes, drying is automatically performed at 60°C (delicate drying). Therefore, for an automatic washing programme plus drying, the drying programme is dictated by the washing programme selected.

•In order to carry out a dry-only programme, the linen must already have been washed and spun.

•After drying particularly soft linen, e.g. new towelling underwear, it is advisable to carry out the “Rinse” programme in order to ensure that any small fabric deposits are drained away and are not deposited on the linen in the next wash load.

Important – do not dry delicate fabrics that cannot withstand temperatures of 60°C or in any case fabrics that cannot withstand the selected temperatures.

6.1.2EXTRA DRYING

If the washing is still too wet when the programme finishes, set a short timed drying cycle.

Caution! Do not dry garments too much as they may crease or shrink.

6.2 TIMED DRYING

The length of drying time corresponds to the time selected with the drying selection button.

6.3 WASH-DRY PROGRAMME

It is possible to use a wash-dry programme for intensive programmes (cotton, coloureds) and for synthetics/delicates. With the wool wash programme it is not possible to select automatic drying after washing. To automatically wash and dry the washing, its weight must not exceed 2.5kg for cotton or 1.5kg for synthetics.

Therefore, if the weight of washing to be washed and dried exceeds the above limits, it is not advisable to carry out a wash-dry programme as, at the end, it will be necessary to half the load and carry out the drying process in two halves.

To carry out a wash-dry programme, follow the following steps:

1.Select the wash programme as indicated in paragraph 5.9;

2.Select the required spin speed as indicated in paragraph 5.10.1;

3.Press the select drying programme and times button (button L) to set the required drying programme:

Time LED display showing: With this programme it is sufficient to repeatedly press the button to select the required drying time. After about 5 seconds the programme setting closes and the value set is shown. The drying time can be anything from 2:00 hours to 0:00 hours.
