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		3 kg
Synthetics		2 kg

Warning:

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

Garments not suitable for drying

•Particularly delicate items such as synthetic curtains, woollen and silk, garments with metal inserts, nylon stockings, bulky garments such as anoraks, bedcovers, quilts, sleeping bags and duvets must not be machine dried.

•Garments padded with foam-rubber or materials similar to foam- rubber must not be machine dried; they represent a fire hazard.

•Also, fabrics containing residues of setting lotions or hair sprays, nail solvents or similar solutions must not be machine dried in order to avoid the formation of harmful vapours.
