6.CUSTOMISE THE WASH CYCLE. Use the relevant buttons on the control panel:

The first time the button is pressed, the machine will automatically select the maximum drying cycle which is compatible with the selected wash cycle. Subsequent presses will decrease the drying level and then the drying

time, until the cycle is excluded completely (). If this button is pressed again, the maximum values are restored.

Drying may be set as follows:

A - Based on a set time period: between 20 and 180 minutes. B- Based on the desired laundry dryness level:

Iron “L1”: suitable for clothes which will need ironing afterwards. the remaining dampness softens creases, making them easier to remove.

Hanger “L2”: ideal for clothes which do not need to be dried fully.

Cupboard “L3”: suitable for laundry which can be put back in a cupboard without being ironed.

Extra “L4”: suitable for garments which need to be dried completely, such as sponges and bathrobes.

If your laundry load to be washed and dried is much greater than the maximum stated load, perform the wash cycle, and when the cycle is complete, divide the garments into groups and put some of them back in the drum. At this point, follow the instructions provided for a “Drying only” cycle. Repeat this procedure for the remainder of the load.

A cooling-down period is always added to the end of each drying cycle.
