How to carry out a drying cycle

Starting a drying programme

1.Plug the dryer into the power supply socket.

2.Select a suitable drying programme for the type of laundry (see Laundry).

3.Open the door, ensure that the filter is clean and securely placed and that the water container is empty and correctly slotted (see Care and maintenance).

4.Load the machine, making sure that no piece of laundry gets between the door and the relative seal. Close the door.

5.Turn the “Drying time selector” knob until the indicator is pointing towards the most suitable drying time for the type of fabric in that load. Use the table to check the relationship between fabric type and load capacity (see Drying settings), and make sure you are familiar with the instructions provided for each type of fabric (see Laundry). Do not attempt to turn the knob anticlockwise.

6.If necessary, set the temperature using the HIGH HEAT button.

7.Press the START button to start the drying cycle.

Laundry can be checked while the drying programme runs and any garments already dry can be removed, while drying continues for the remaining items. After closing the door, press the START button to resume machine operation.

8.The final COLD DRYING phase (i.e. the fabrics are cooled) activates during the last few minutes of the drying programme; always allow this phase to terminate.

9.Open the door, remove the laundry then clean the filter and replace it. Empty the water container and put it back in its slot (see Care and maintenance).

10.Disconnect the dryer from the power supply.
