As a dryer, the machine works on
the condensation principle.
Therefore, the water tap must be open
and the drain hose must drain water into
a sink or into the drain pipe, even during
the drying cycle.
Load
Warning:
Loads of washed laundry exceeding
these values must be divided before
being dried, otherwise poor results will
be obtained.
Garments not suitable for
drying
• Particularly delicate items such as synthetic
curtains, woollen and silk, garments with
metal inserts, nylon stockings, bulky garments
such as anoraks, bedcovers, quilts, sleeping
bags and duvets must not be machine dried.
• Garments padded with foam-rubber or
materials similar to foam-rubber must not be
machine dried; they represent a fire hazard.
• Also, fabrics containing residues of setting
lotions or hair sprays, nail solvents or
similar solutions must not be machine
dried in order to avoid the formation of
harmful vapours.
Drying symbols on garment labels
Always look at the garment label to check
whether garments can be machine dried.
The following symbols refer to drying:

Drying hints
Duration of the drying cycle
The drying time can vary according to
• the final spin speed;
• the required degree of drying (extra dry,
only for cottons, store dry or iron dry);
• the type of laundry;
• the size of load.
The usual drying times are indicated in the
programme chart. As you become more
familiar with the appliance, you will discover
the drying times that best suit your needs
according to the various type of fabric. It is a
good idea to make a note of these times.
Modification of the drying time
If you wish to modify the drying time when a
drying programme is running, first depress
START/PAUSE button to set the machine to
PAUSE. After modifying the time, depress
START/PAUSE again to continue the
programme.
Fibre residue
After drying fluffy fabrics, such as new
towels, it is advisable to perform a gentle
rinse (progr.
) to be sure that any residue
that may remain in the tub is completely
removed and does not stick to garments
dried afterwards.
After each drying cycle the filter should
be checked and cleaned.
Additional drying
Should the laundry still be too wet at the
end of the programme, set another short
drying cycle.
Warning! To prevent the formation of
creases or shrinking of fabrics, avoid
excessive drying.
