There are two drying programmes to choose from: s Linen - Cotton - (2000 W), 20 - 150 minutes s Synthetics - (1400 W), 20 - 100 minutes Drying times vary according to the particular type of fabric, quantity of laundry and drying level (see programme chart). This ten minute period is calculated as part of the overall selected drying time. During the cooling phase, the appliance's heating elements are switched off and the laundry is cooled before the tumble dryer stops automatically in position `0' (end of drying cycle). Leaving warm laundry inside the drum will cause creasing and in some cases permanent damage. 2. If the appliance is overloaded, mediocre drying results will be obtained and the laundry will be creased. In order to reduce energy consumption and drying times, it is necessary to spin the laundry adequately. The use is recommended of a washing machine capable of spinning laundry at a speed of 800 rpm or more. Garments which are not ironed, such as shirts, must also be spun for 10 - 30 seconds before they are dried in the tumble dryer. Do not tumble dry items treated with inflammable liquids (petrol, methylated spirits, dry cleaning fluid) to avoid fire risks. Starched fabrics Starched fabrics may also be dried in this appliance. To obtain the best results, select `iron dry' drying time with residual dampness. When the cycle has been completed, clean tumble dryer drum with a damp cloth and then with a dry cloth in order to remove any remaining starch. Shrinking Some items (such as shirts and the like) may easily shrink to a greater or lesser extent. This is due to the fact that these items are `suspended' inside the tumble dryer, as opposed to being hung on a washing line to dry, which is usually the case. Select `iron dry' drying time for these items. How much does dry laundry weigh? Please use the following values to load the appliance correctly.
