Abstract
A drying machine has a degree-of-dryness detecting circuit which detects the degree of dryness of clothes in a drying chamber and a temperature detecting circuit which detects the temperature of the air exhausted from the drying chamber. Two heaters are turned on until the degree of dryness reaches 65%. After that, the temperature is controlled in a range of 40.degree. to 53.degree. C. until the degree of dryness reaches 90%. After that, one heater is actuated intermittently so that the temperature of the air which is drawn into the drying chamber decreases.
