Tumble drying programmes
Drying Process
The load is dried in thermostatically controlled warm air.
The drum changes direction during the drying cycle to prevent the laundry from
tangling and hence produce even drying.Cool air is used during the last ten
minutes of the drying cycle to minimise creasing.
Two heat settings can be selected, high dry .for cotton and linen or low dry
for synthetics.See Sorting the Laundry for more details.
Drying time can be selected as a separate programme or at the end of the wash
cycle.If you are selecting the drying phase at the end of the wash cycle ensure
that you have not exceeded the maximum load (3kg cotton or 1kg synthetics).
