This is a single washer-dryer unit. When the washing stops, the machine goes into drying mode. This turns out to be a lengthy process.
Now, back in Charlotte, I have a nifty LG washer and dryer, a stainless behemoth sitting on tall pedestals. Washer on the left, dryer on the right. When we got this set back in 2005, we called it the Starship Enterprise because of all the lights and knobs and dials and noises. It’s pathetic how much I love that washer and dryer.
The detergent - or washing liquid - I'm using is Daz. It's made by Procter and Gamble here in the UK. I love the way they phrase things. On the bottle it says: "For help or a free dosing ball, why not visit our website www.dazwhite.co.uk."
So, since we’ve been here a couple of days, we have dirty clothes. Last night I decided to pop in a load. And the unit is small so I did just a few things.
I pulled out the directions because I have never used anything like this. Good thing we weren’t in a hurry. Washing, rinsing, spinning and drying takes … WAIT FOR IT … nine hours. If there were a stream nearby, I could beat the clothes on rocks, hang them from trees and have them quicker.But they came out clean and patience is, after all, a virtue. I will wash clothes every night while I sleep!

Hi Jayne! I was part of Wingate-in-London in '04. I'm not sure if your washer has similar settings to ours, but after 2 months of hanging all of our clothes, we discovered a setting (12J, possibly, I can't remember) that actually worked similar to separate dryers, finishing the job within 1.5 hours.
Previously the dryer just heated our wet clothes. 12J saved our flat; can you imagine wet clothes hanging from every chair and corner thanks to 5 girls sharing a space? I'm not sure about the proper setting for your machine, but if you keep experimenting, I'm sure you'll find it.
