Helpful hints
If you are washing and drying laundry that is likely to wrinkle together with laundry that
is not, select the <<WASH DRY>> > [FUZZY] program and select 30 minutes for the dry
cycle. When the dry cycle finishes, remove the laundry that is likely to wrinkle and hang
it immediately. Dry the remaining laundry using the <<DRY>> > [FUZZY] program.
Laundry that is left in the drum for long periods after drying may wrinkle or lose
softness. Therefore, remove laundry immediately after drying or use the Fluffy Clothes
operation. (P. 73)
When thick laundry items increase in winter, they are sometimes insufficiently dried.
Select [EXTRA] using the <SPIN/DRY LEVEL> button.
When the ambient temperature is low in winter, you may feel laundry is insufficiently dried
if it is left in the drum for long periods. Remove laundry immediately after drying.
To reduce pills and static electricity
If you are worried about pilling on a particular item of laundry, turn the item inside out.
Use a liquid fabric softener when using the <<WASH DRY>> operation.
Use an anti-static sheet when using the <<DRY>> operation.
