Electrolux 1271 VI manual Preparing the drying cycle, Load, Garments not suitable for drying

Preparing the drying cycle

As a dryer, the machine works on the condensation principle.

Therefore, the water tap must be open and the drain hose must drain water into a sink or into the drain pipe, even during the dry- ing cycle.

Load

	Sort of laundry	max. load
		(dry weight)
Linen and cottons		2.25 kg

Warning:

Loads of washed laundry exceeding these values must be divided before being dried, otherwise poor results will be obtained.
