Notes on the [SILENT] program
The fan rotation speed is lowered for quieter
operation. The heater also operates at a lower
level.
(The operation time is longer than that of the
[FUZZY] program, and more wrinkles will
result.)
Some clothes will shrink simply from drying after getting wet or washed, and using a dryer can shrink the clothes
further.
Clothes do not usually shrink further after the first washing and drying operation.
Items that shrink easily
Sweaters Sports socks
Wool sweaters, Socks made of chemical
skirts, etc. fiber mixtures, etc.
The degree of shrinking depends on the materials, fabric, stitching, and
processing of the item.
(Example: Ribbed wool or cotton sweaters shrink easily.)
Run the <<DRY>> > [FUZZY] program for 15 minutes.
Keep the drying load under 2 kg. (The effect will be reduced with loads larger than 2 kg.)
Do not run the operation for laundry that cannot be dried.
