Drying
The dryer part of this Washer/Dryer is a
Turbo Condenser Dryer.
If you wish to machine dry your laundry
at the end of a wash cycle, leave the tap
open and the drain hose hooked over the
sink or the stand pipe. During the drying
cycle the machine uses a small amount of
water.
In this appliance, the clothes are dried by
means of a continuous flow of hot air
produced by a turbine which, as it passes
through the drum, gradually carries away
the moisture in the freshly-washed load.
This moisture is then condensed within
the machine when it comes into contact
with the cold water. The condensed water
is then drained away, together with the
cooling water, through the drain hose.
There is therefore no need to provide
special ventilation of the room in which
the machine is installed.
To carry out a drying cycle:
1. Remove all spun laundry from the
machine.
2. Sort the laundry to be dried from the
load.
3. Important: Load only up to a
maximum of 2.25 kg (51b) of spun laundry
into the drum. Put it in loosely; the load
must be able to move freely inside the
drum. When drying synthetic clothes, load
only up to a maximum of 1.5 kg (31b).
4. Close the loading door.
5. Set the drying time control as required
using the 0-80 minute sector (LOW)
when drying synthetic items and the
0-120 minute sector (HIGH) when drying
cotton fabrics.
6. Press and turn the programme control
to H when drying cotton fabrics and S
when drying synthetic items. Lastly, press
the On/Off pushbutton. The pilot light
will come on and the drying cycle will
start.
The drying temperature is constantly
controlled by a thermostat in order to
avoid an excessive increase in
temperature.
The duration of the preset drying time
may be shortened or extended during the
drying cycle. This should not be done
however, within the 20 - 0 minute period
because during this time both the
machine and the laundry must be allowed
to cool off.
If for any reason the power fails during
the drying cycle, it is advisable to remove
the clothes as soon as possible. This is
because whilst the drum is standing still
there could be a heat build-up which
could damage the more delicate fabrics
being dried.
If you have to interrupt the drying cycle,
press again the On/Off pushbutton. Wait
for 1-2 minutes before trying to open the
door when the Door Safety Interlock will
be released.
