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 kg of dry clothing in the case of resistant materials and 1.5 kg for deli- cate 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.
