26 USING YOUR WASHING MACHINE Set the drying time, Dry Drying options are easily selected with the DRY button. For the most even drying, make sure all articles in the clothes load are similar in material and thickness. Do not overload the washer by placing too many articles into the drum. Items must be able to tumble freely. If you open the door and remove the load before the washer has finished the DRY cycle, remember to press the START/ PAUSE button. By pressing the DRY button, you can select: 1 LOW TEMP - For delicate fabrics 2 DAMP - For damp drying fabrics 3 NORMAL - For general drying 4 MORE - For heavier fabrics 5 30/60/90/120 - For timed drying NOTE yyThe capacity of the machine for washing clothes is twice as much as when drying clothes. If the machine is to be used to dry a load, then the wash load must be reduced by half for effective drying performance. If a full load is washed, remove half the clothes prior to starting the dry cycle. yyThe Wrinkle Care feature is set automatically when the drying cycle is complete and cannot be disabled. yyThis feature will help prevent wrinkling of the clothes if they are not removed promptly when the dry cycle ends. When the drying cycle is completed, [COOL DOWN] is displayed on the Multi display. The COOL DOWN is set automatically when a drying cycle is complete. When you don't remove a load of clothes from the dryer as soon as it stops, wrinkles can form.

The message will continue to display until the clothes are removed or the Start/Pause button is pressed.
