AEG 1263 - Manual (Page 13)

Duration of drying cycle
The duration can vary according to:
- the speed of the final spin;
- the required degree of drying (cupboard dry or iron dry)
- the type of laundry
- the size of load.
The chart on pages 34-35 shows normal drying times. With a little
experience, you will soon come to know the most suitable drying
times for your own laundry requirements.
Porthole door lock
After having started the required drying programme, the door
stays locked throughout the whole cycle.
Changing the drying time
If you wish to change the drying time during the cycle, this can be
done by turning the programme selector knob clockwise.
Fibre residues
After drying fabrics which lose bits of fibre, for example new tow­
els, it is advisable to carry out a delicate drying cycle to ensure
that any residue left in the drum is completely eliminated and
does not stick to laundry in the next load.
You should check the filter after each drying cycle and clean it if
necessary.
Additional drying
If, at the end of the programme, the laundry is still too damp, an
additional drying cycle may be selected.
Warning: Do not over-dry, so as to avoid creasing or shrink­
ing of garments.

Every appliance is fitted with a pump for discharging the wash
and rinse water. This pump is controlled by the programme selec­
tor mechanism and is capable of pumping water through the
drain hose to a height of up to 1 m above the surface on which
the machine is standing.
The curved end of the drain hose can be positioned in two ways:
Hooked over the edge of the sink. In view of the speed with
which the water comes out during the discharge phase, it is
important to ensure that the curved end of the hose cannot slip
off the edge of the sink. It should therefore be tied to the tap with
a piece of string or secured to the wall with a hook, by inserting
the hook into the hole provided in the curved part of the hose.
Joined into a branch of the sink waste pipe. The branch
must be above the sink trap and at least 60 cm above the floor.
The drain hose may be extended up to a maximum length of
180 cm. Use an extension with an internal diameter the same as
that of the original hose. Use a suitable connector.
The hose extension must rest on the floor and only the part near
the drainage point must be raised.
