Smeg WDF16BAX manual WASH-ONLY Programmes, WASH+DRY Programmes

GB

•For automatic wash+dry programmes, therefore, the drying temperature depends on which washing programme is selected.

•The washing must have been previously washed and spun before a dry-only programme can be performed.

•When drying particularly fluffy items such as new terry towels, the "Rinse" program should be carried out to ensure that any deposits left by the fabric are removed, and are not deposited on the clothes in the next wash.

Important – Do not dry fabrics that cannot withstand temperatures of 60°C or in any case fabrics that cannot withstand the selected temperature.

6.1.2EXTRA DRYING

If the washing is still too wet when the programme finishes, set a brief timed drying cycle. Caution!: do not dry garments too much as they may crease or shrink.

6.2 WASH-ONLY PROGRAMMES

Follow the instructions contained in chapter 5 – Washing instructions, taking care to set drying time to 0 with the Select programme and drying time button (see chapter 4 – Description of controls, letter I).

6.3 WASH+DRY PROGRAMMES

Washing and drying programmes can be automatically performed with intensive cycles (cottons, coloureds) and synthetics/delicates cycles. For the latter, only delicate drying is allowed (drying at 60°C, identified by the LED with the “-” sign), while for cotton and coloured garments, both the delicate drying programme (drying at 60°C, “-”) and the intensive drying programme (drying at 90°C, “+”) are allowed. If a wool washing programme is selected, automatic drying is not possible after washing.

To wash and dry automatically, a load of washing weighing no more than 2.5 kg of cotton or 1.5 kg of synthetics should be used.

Therefore, if the load to wash and dry exceeds the above quantities, an automatic washing programme should not be set and, at the end, the load will have to be divided in half and drying done in two steps.

To set an automatic wash+dry programme, proceed as follows:

1.Select the washing programme as shown in paragraph 5.9;

2.Select the required spin speed as shown in paragraph 5.10.1;

3.Press the select drying programmes and drying times button (). The LED over the button lights up as does the delicate drying times LED (“-”). The display shows the time (hours/minutes) set for the selected drying programme. Initially, the time is equal to 0h 0’ for all programmes.

4.Press the select button () repeatedly, the drying time (hours/minutes) starts from 0 hours 20 minutes and increases by 10 minutes every time the button is pressed, up to a maximum of 2 hours. Press the button again, the time starts again from 0h 0minutes and the LED switches from delicate drying (-)to intensive drying (+) or vice-versa. Press the button again to increase by 10 minutes and so on up to 2 hours. Switching from intensive (+) to delicate (-) drying or vice-versa can also be achieved by holding down the button for at least 4 seconds.
