Tips for drying and for the economic use of the dryer

• Drying is economically most effective if you dry the recommended quantity of laundry per one
charge (see Program Chart).
• Do not dry the laundry made of especially sensitive fi bers (wool, silk), which may shrink or lose
shape.
• It is not necessary to use a fabric conditioner when washing the laundry, since drying makes it
soft and tender.
• Drying time is much shorter and consequently the energy consumption lower if laundry is well
spun prior tumble dring (minimum 1000 spin RPM).
• By selecting the most suitable drying program, you will avoid over-drying and deffi cult ironing.
• By cleaning the fi lter on regular basis drying time is shorter and consumes less energy.
• When drying a smaller quantity of laundry, or individual pieces of clothing, the sensor may not
be able to perceive the actual moisture in the fabric. Hence, it is advisable to use either the
programs for drying the laundry more thoroughly or time setting programs when drying less
laundry or single pieces of it. It is generally recommended to dry larger quantities of laundry, as
this will save both time and energy.

• After every drying clean the fi lter, located in the inner part of
the door.
• Lift the fi lter lid (Fig.).
• Pull your fi ngers over the fi lter to remove fi bers and threads
lining. Replace the fi lter cover.
• If necessary, also clean the fi lter housing and door sealing.
Cleaning of the fi lter on the lower side of the door opening
(only with some models)
Before removing clothes from the drum, clean the fi lter on the
lower side of the door opening with a damp cloth or wet hand.
If the fi lter is clogged in such way that it needs washing, pull it
out from its bed (Fig.), wash it under hot water and dry. Be sure
that the replaced fi lter snaps safely to its position, and only then
close the fi lter lid.
If the fi lter is not regularly cleaned, the airfl ow is
obstructed, which causes longer drying time and
danger of overheating.
