Which program to use
The program to be used depends on what is to be
done with the washing after tumbie-drying. Two
automatic programs are provided: 'Extra Dry' and
'Dry', if washing is not to be dried compieteiy,
i.e. because it is to be ironed, it is a good idea to
use the time program instead. Either of the
operating temperatures (Low or Normai) is avaiiabie
with either of the automatic programs or with the
time program.
Turn the program
knob clockwise to
the required pro­
gram. A program
can be stopped at
any time by turn­
ing the knob to
the 0 position

2) Dry
This program turns off the heat
when the washing is dry but not
absolutely bone-dry. It is then
cooled for about 15 minutes. This
is the program to use when you
want dry fabrics.
1) Extra dry
This automatic program is intended
for use with washing that is ex­
tremely difficult to dry, i.e. jeans
with very thick seams. The heat
is turned off when the washing is
completely dry, and is followed
by a cooling period of about
15 minutes.
3) Timed program
The timed program can be set for
any desired heating time up to one
hour. At the end of the preset time,
the washing is cooled for
about a further 15 minutes.
Permanent press hints
For the most wrinkle free perma­
nent press drying, only dry one
half load at a time to assure
enough room for items to tumble
freely. Do not combine perma­
nent press items with other very
heavy clothes in the dryer.
Remove clothes immediately
after the drying cycle is complete
and either hang them up or lay
them flat.
4) Airing program,
cold
This program cannot be combined
with heating. It is used to shake
the dust out of garments, air them
or soften them up.
Dryer added fabric softeners
Because some dryer added fabric
softeners may cause damage to
automatic dryers, use only one
that the manufactures give a
written assurance that their
softener can safely be used in
your dryer.
If washing is not dry
after tumble-drying
When using the automatic pro­
grams, it can happen that not all of
the washing is properly dry. This
may be due to such reasons as
very heavy fabrics or thick seams.
To dry these items, give them a
further period of drying in the
timed program for about 10
minutes. Also, do not overload the
dryer. If a dryer is overloaded, its
efficiency is lessened and clothes
may not dry evenly.
Do not over-dry
When using the timed program, it
is possible to over-dry fabrics, if
too long a time has been set. This
can cause the fabrics to wrinkle,
shrink, or feel harsh. Synthetic
materials can also become charged
with static electricity.
Single items
Use the timed program when there
is only one item to be dried. This
is because the automatic program
may turn off the heating too early,
so that the item is not properly
dried.
