Tips for saving energy

This heat-pump tumble dryer offers the
latest technological features. These help
reduce its energy consumption during dry-
ing by about 50 % compared to the energy
consumption of conventional electrically
heated tumble dryers.
The following tips will help you to make fur-
ther savings in energy consumption:
– Make sure your laundry is spun in the
washing machine at the maximum spin
speed.
– Carry out the final rinse in the washing
machine with hot water. This results in a
lower residual moisture content and in-
creased residual heat in the laundry after
washing. This reduces the time required
for drying and thus saves energy.
– Sort the laundry:
- by fibre and weave,
- by the required level of drying,
- by residual moisture.
– Dry the maximum amount specified for
the drying programme whenever possible.
Energy consumption is more economical
for a full load. Partial loads are not eco-
nomical. Over loading the drum hampers
drying results and affects the finish.
– The drying process is more efficient with a
clean fluff filter and heat-exchanger. This
reduces the time it takes to dry the laun-
dry as well as the amount of energy re-
quired.
– Ensure sufficient room ventilation.
