GORENJE DE8B CONDENSER DRYING PROCESS –QUICK REFERENCE STEP BY STEP (1-6)

Q: Why does a drying cycle take longer
than I’m used to?
Condensation dryers, versus the almost obsolete
and previous technology of vented dryers, use
energy-efficient low wattage heating elements and
natural rotational force combined with cool fan-
forced air to delicately dry your clothes. This
mimics an outdoor clothesline, as opposed to
baking them dry like a toaster. The air runs through
easy to clean filters that catch residual lint or
clothing particulate from leaving the machine
which allows the Dryer’s air to enter the laundry
room, as opposed to venting hot and particulate
filled air out into the atmosphere, which is a
leading cause of the escalating greenhouse effect in
our world. Make no mistake; this dryer is helping
preserve our delicate world one laundry load at a
time.
Q: What cycle should I Use?
Normal is your go-to everyday mode. The machine will
sense residual moisture and stop the drying cycle
when clothes are deemed to be ready for standard
closet storage. This mode is the sweet spot between
wrinkled and not wrinkled, dry without being forceful
on the clothes, and still have minimal residual
moisture content. Choose Iron mode for slightly damp
clothes, which will make ironing out wrinkles very
easy. Choose Extra dry to make sure clothes are over-
dried and ready to be folded and put away.
If you have a specified time instead, choose the
minutes between 30/60/90 and the machine will run
at full drying capacity for that duration. This is often
best for a very small load and overrides factory or
sensor settings.
Additional Information
With a 5-year manufacturing warranty to
back these machines up, they are designed
to be a long-term and reliable partner in
your home.
Finding the specific settings that meet your
unique needs early on in the product life
cycle will yield you years of easy-to-use
laundry.
For general use of the standard wash and
dry features, you should budget for about
an hour and a half per wash or dry load,
which is convenient for when it comes time
to change your laundry loads over.
For any further questions, we encourage
you to contact either of our showrooms in
Ontario or BC.
Q: How big of a load can I do?
No bigger than your wash load. Tumble dryers
need extra space in the drum to allow clothes to
tumble around and dry.
Q: How can I choose how damp or dry I
want my clothes?
This might take a bit of trial and error to find the
exact cycle that works perfectly for your specific
needs, but personal experience in the machine I
use in my own home is that ‘Iron Dry’ is my
favourite setting. Clothes come out dry enough,
reduce the ‘pilling’ effect, and let the machine use
its sensors to tell me when it thinks the clothes are
ready and has a slight residual moisture content
that is perfect for ironing my work shirts. If desired
to have a clothes dryer, then go up to ‘Normal’. If
you have towels or anything heavier that does not
need any post-laundry maintenance, ‘Extra-Dry’
will make sure there is no residual moisture
allowing for immediate storage.
*Note also that there is an ‘anti-crease’ function.
Select this if you think you will be back to check on
laundry after the projected drying cycle is done.
This will make the machine do a few rotations
every few minutes to prevent clothes from resting
too long and directly helps to prevent wrinkles.
