Drying
Drying program selection elements are set in the
control panel as well as the indicator light which
is on during the operation of the machine.
Preparing the Laundry for
Drying
Sort the laundry before drying according to type
of the laundry.
Fasten buttons, zippers, tie loose strings and
turn pockets inside out.
Very delicate laundry (fine underwear with
laces) should prior to drying be put in a special
sack so that it won't get damaged by buttons,
zippers and pins.
We recommend loading the drum with items of
different size. Larger pieces of laundry can get
tucked during drying. So we recommend you
take them out, shake them and then put them
back.
When drying large sheets (bed sheets, table
cloths) put 2 to 3 pieces for one load and when
drying delicate smaller items (shirts, blouses)
fill only 5 to 6 pieces for one load (max 4,5 lbs).
Never put dripping wet laundry inside the dryer.
(electrical hazard)
Most clothes nowadays have labels marked
with recommended drying mode.

Before first selecting a drying program, set the

Set the program selector knob to the desired

Press the "START" button to start the program.
The beginning of operation is signaled by a
beep. The program signal light goes off and
actual humidity level indicator light turns on.
If you wish to change the selected drying
program after the machine has been put into
operation, set the program selector knob back
to the STOP/0 position. (for 1 second) You may
select any desired drying program, and start it
by pressing the START button. In case this
procedure is not performed, the machine will
continue executing the originally selected
program, notwithstanding the position of the
program selector.
If the preceding program has been completed
(indicator light END and ANTI-CREASE signal
light will illuminate), you may select a new
program and start it with the START button. It
is not necessary to set the program selection
button to the STOP/0 position.
Drying program selection button
The appropriate program is selected by operating
the program selector knob, which may be turned
in either direction. There is a basic choice of
three drying groups:
