FUNCTIONS AND PREPARATION FOR WASHING & DRYING
The clothes are dried by a flow of warm air made to circulate inside the drum by a fan, which gra-
dually removes the damp from the clothes.
This steam then condenses inside the machine when it comes into contact with the cold water.
This is the reason why the water tap must remain on and the draining pipe must be positioned
correctly during the drying cycle.
To obtain the best results, spin-dry the clothes before putting them in the machine. The smaller the
amount of water in the clothes, the less time it will take to dry them and the lower the consumption
of electricity will be.
Warnings:
Always use the drying cycle best suited to the fabric to be dried.
Only dry articles washed with water in the machine.
The following articles must not be dried in the machine:
•
Clothes that have been dry-cleaned or cleaned with chemical products
•
Wool or wool mixture clothes that shrink in hot water
•
Extremely delicate fabrics, such as silk and synthetic curtains
•
Articles made of foam rubber
•
Articles made of glass fibre
•
Materials that tend to fray, for example, woolen bows, felt or worn carpets.
Before any drying cycle may be executed, the following four conditions must be respected:
a)
The timer is set in the specific drying position indicated by the symbol
b)
The timer is set with a drying time selected in its sector according to the fabric to be dried
c)
The "half-load/drying" button is pressed
d)
There is no water in the drum.
Procedure for Executing the Drying Cycle Only
•
Turn the timer control clockwise until the reference mark is aligned with either of the two
drying symbols indicated by W
•
Turn the drying timer control clockwise until the reference mark is aligned with the selected
drying time. (The "drying cycle" table contains instructions on how to choose the times,
according to your machine's spin-drying speed, the fabric to be dried and the degree of
dryness)
•
Press the "half-load/drying" key (The maximum amount that can be dried is 2.5 kg of dry
cotton clothes)
•
Press the on/off key to switch on the machine.
Procedure for Executing the Washing and Manual Drying Cycle
If you wish to dry the clothes after washing a load of more than 2.5 kg, at the end of the wash cycle,
divide it into 2 roughly equal loads and proceed as for the drying cycle only, drying one load at a ti-
me.
Procedure for Executing the Washing and Automatic Drying Cycle
Having loaded the machine with a maximum of 2.5 kg of dry cotton clothes and set one of the cotton
washing cycles (cycles 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7), the washing cycle can be run and followed automatically
by the drying cycle, as follows:
•
Turn the timer control clockwise until the reference mark is aligned with the desired washing
cycle, selecting it from the "cotton and linen cycles" table.
•
Turn the drying timer control clockwise until the reference mark is aligned with the selected
drying time. (The "drying program" table contains instructions on how to choose the times,
according to your machine's spin-drying speed, the fabric to be dried and the degree of
dryness)
•
Press the "half-load/drying" key (The maximum amount that can be dried is 2.5 kg of dry
cotton clothes)
•
Press the on/off key to switch on the machine.
