Which programme should I use?
Timed drying
This programme chart is designed to help you dry your laundry correctly. The programme/timer knob has two different
sections, each with its own drying temperature and time scale:
is used to represent cotton. Here you can set the dryer for up to 120 minutes, because cotton and
thick non-synthetic fabrics need longer to dry.
isused to represent synthetic fabrics and delicate items. Because these are more sensitive than
cotton, they need a lower drying temperature. Here you can set the dryer for up to 80 minutes.
Do not overdry your laundry. It can make it difficult to iron and harsher to the touch, as well as wasting energy.
During the last 8-12 minutes of each programme, the load is cooled to reduce the risk of creasing.

If the laundry is spun at less than 800 rpm, the residual dampness will be higher and consequently the drying time
should be increased. If the laundry is spun at 1000 rpm or higher the residual dampness will be lower and consequently
the drying time can be reduced.
