My co-teacher said it doesn't, but there just seem like too many options for just washing. Also, I just throw clothes in there, put a little bit of detergent where it's supposed to go, and hit the Green arrow. Afterwards, I hang up my clothes to dry, but they are always starchy. What makes them so stiff? What am I doing wrong? |

| I believe the button that reads 탈수 is the option for drying. 강 means dehydration so I assume that's what it means. My washer is a little different. Be warned, it doesn't dry that well so you'll probably still need to hang them out for an hour or two but it you won't have to do it for 2 days like usual |

| Also, re: the starchiness - you should probably use some fabric softener. You may also be using a detergent that is meant for top loading washers as opposed to drum washers. This actually does make a difference, somehow. Dry detergent vs. liquid detergent may also have an effect. Fabric softener would be the easiest fix, although it is quite expensive here. |

Sorry, no dryer. They really do have that many buttons just for washing. Mine has more than you do.
Water temp
Water speed
Water depth
Spin speed
Then you have the "programs"
Hope the link helps.
Oh, asams, the 탈수 is drying, but just spin drying. Ya, confusing....... too many buttons~! |

unfortunately it is rare to find a washing machine with built-in drying function, and hang-drying takes a long time depending on the items and amount.
i just posted something about radically speeding up your drying time at my blog ([url]smellybilla.blogspot.com[/url]). the post about drying laundry is at http://smellybilla.blogspot.com/2009/09/draft-episode-2-hang-drying-your.html
let me know if it helps. |

Just a little hint if you can do it. If you can put your drying rack directly in front of your A/C, it speeds everything up considerably. Even my blue jeans are done by nightfall. The towels and shirts are usually done in about 2 hours? Of course, like you said, depends on the material.
Next step... new blog to read~! While I'm not a big fan of blogs to blog, I do really appreciate blogs with actually useful info in them~!
EDIT: Ahhhhhh, a fan. I'll probably need to switch to that when it's too cold for the AC. |

강 doesn't mean *dehydration*, it means strong.
중 is medium and 약 is weak. It's just how much of a spin you want it to do - some clothes shouldn't be spinned that much because of the fabric.
My machine, btw, is a washer-dryer combo, but the dryer function SUCKS! It takes forever to dry even just a few things. |
