Do not overload the drum, large items when
wet can exceed the maximum admissible clothes
load (for example: sleeping bags, duvets).

SELECTING THE PROGRAMME
The Candy Sensor Dry machine gives many options for drying the
laundry to suit all circumstances. The table on the next page lists
the programmes and the function of each programme.
Note:
The sensor may not detect a small load of small articles. For small
loads and separate items or pre-dried fabrics with low moisture
content, use the timed programmes.
If the sensor does not detect the item the dryer will only operate for
10 minutes before going into cooldown.
If the load is too large or too wet to tumble dry the dryer will
automatically go into cooldown after approximately 3 hours.
In these cases we advise to use a time cycles between 30 and
75minutes depending on the load size and dryness required, and
select high or low heat depending upon the fabric type.
