Duration of the drying cycle
The drying time can vary according to
•the final spin speed;

The usual drying times are indicated in the programme chart. As you become more familiar with the appliance, you will discover the drying times that best suit your needs according to the various type of fabric. It is a good idea to make a note of these times.
Fibre residue
After drying fluffy fabrics, such as new towels, it is advisable to perform the rinse programme B to be sure that any residue that may remain in the tub is completely removed and does not stick to garments dried afterwards.
After each drying cycle the filter should be checked and cleaned.
