Running a Dry Cycle
This section summarises the main points when completing a drying cycle. For detailed explanations of drying programmes, please refer to the relevant section in this manual.
Sorting the laundry
Once the wash cycle has finished, make sure the laundry does not exceed the recommended drying weight (see Programme Guide for details). If you have filled the washing machine to the maximum level you will need to remove some of the laundry before starting the drying stage. It is advisable to reduce the load size further if the item is bulky or absorbent e.g. towels. Please refer to the Drying Advice section for a list of items that should not be tumble dried.
Selecting the drying programme
Refer to the Programme Guide to choose the most appropriate drying cycle for your laundry, with the correct heat setting for the fabrics type (high heat for cottons, low heat for synthetics). Turn the programme dial to the appropriate heat setting. Press the Drying Selection button until the required programme is selected (refer to the Dry Options table).
Starting the drying cycle
Once the programme option is illuminated, press the Start Pause button to begin the cycle. The Door Locked indicator and KG Mode lights will illuminate. After a few seconds the cycle will begin, highlighting the time remaining for the cycle based on a full dry load. During the cycle the appliance will assess the load then update the time to suit the actual load size and dampness of the fabrics. The double glazed door of this appliance provides protection against the high heat created by the tumble drying action.
When the programme has finished
We recommend that you let the Cool Down period of the drying cycle complete before removing the laundry, as the laundry would be too hot to handle without this phase. Once the drying cycle has finished, the word END will be displayed on the digital display. Wait 2 minutes until the Door Locked indicator turns off. Open the door and remove the laundry. Turn the programme dial to the OFF position.
Selecting a straight through wash & dry cycle
If you wish to wash and dry a load without stopping in between wash and dry cycles, make sure the wash load does not exceed the maximum dry weight (see Programme Guide for details). Once the detergent has been added and the wash programme and options selected, you should then choose the drying cycle before pressing the Start Pause button. The appropriate heat setting is automatically selected (see Programme Guide for details).

The time remaining shown on the digital display will show the time remaining for a full load. However, this will be corrected during the cycle once the appliance assesses the weight and dampness of the laundry.
