How do you use the separate dryer cycle of your washer dryer combination?
Get started with the separate dryer cycle
If you want to dry your wet laundry with a separate dryer cycle, you go through the following steps:
- Step 1. Sort your laundry
- Step 2. Choose the right dryness level
- Step 3. Select the dryer cycle
Step 1: sort your laundry
To dry your laundry as well as possible, you sort your laundry based on the type of fabric and thickness of the fabric. For example, you dry all of your cotton and synthetic clothes separately, as well as cotton shirts and towels. You choose the right dryer cycle for the load of laundry based on the type of laundry.
Step 2: choose the right dryness level
There are different dryness levels for your laundry, namely iron dry, cupboard dry, and extra dry.
- Iron dry: the laundry is still a bit moist when you choose this dryness level, so you can iron it more easily.
- Cupboard dry: your laundry will be almost completely dry. This cycle saves energy and is better for your laundry. You can use this setting for most clothes, such as cotton shirts.
- Extra dry: you use this dryness level for thicker fabrics like towels. That way, you can dry yourself off properly after taking a shower.
Step 3: select the dryer cycle
The way in which you start a separate dryer cycle differs for each washer dryer combination. Some machines indicate the dryer cycle clearly on the display. In that case, you can select the dryer cycle with the button and choose the dryness level. For example, you can first select the desired cycle based on your laundry, such as cotton. Next, you select the separate 'drying' mode. In the manual of your appliance, you can check how you use the dryer cycle on your washer dryer combination.
