Abstract
A clothes drying machine has a drum where clothes to be dried are placed. A detection electrodes of a degree-of-dryness detecting circuit are positioned in the drum, by which a microcomputer determines whether the clothes are dried. The drying machine has a preset function for in advance setting a time when a drying operation is to be completed. A display, which displays a specific mode when a time reaches the set time, clothes are not dried enough, and the drying operation continues, is provided in the drying machine.
