6.4 WASH-DRY PROGRAMME

It is possible to use a wash-dry programme for intensive programmes (cotton, coloureds) and for synthetics/delicates. With the wool wash programme it is not possible to select automatic drying after washing. To automatically wash and dry the washing, its weight must not exceed 2.5kg for cotton or 1.5kg for synthetics.

Therefore, if the weight of washing to be washed and dried exceeds the above limits, it is not advisable to carry out a wash-dry programme as, at the end, it will be necessary to half the load and carry out the drying process in two halves.

To carry out a wash-dry programme, follow the following steps:
