Preliminary operations for tumbie drying

All washer-dryers consume power to dry laundry. The machine will

operate most economically if the advice below is followed:

Remove as much water as possible from the laundry!

The machine will use less energy

if the laundry is thor­

oughly spun

before drying. A good spin reduces power con­

sumption, shortens the drying time and enables the machine

to operate more economically.

Use optimum loads!
Keep to the loads recommended in the programme

chart

to ensure economical drying. The following list may be

used as a guide to estimate the weight of common laundry
