The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and can normally be recycled.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,
bags etc. are disposed safely and kept
out of the reach of babies and young
children. Danger of suffocation!
Rather than just throwing these materi-
als away, please ensure they are of-
fered for recycling.
Old appliances contain materials which
can be reclaimed or recycled. Please
contact your dealer, your local waste
collection centre or scrap merchant
about potential recycling schemes.
Ensure that the appliance presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.
Before throwing an old appliance away,
unplug it and render the plug useless.
Cut off the cable directly behind the ap-
pliance to prevent misuse. This should
be done by a competent person.
^ Make sure that your laundry is thor-
oughly spun before drying.
The higher the spin, the greater the
savings that can be made in energy
and time during drying.
^ When the ambient temperature is
warm (over 25°C) e.g. in summer, se-
lect the Energy save additional option
to reduce energy consumption.
^ Load according to the optimum
amount of laundry recommended for
the programme being used (see
Programme chart).
Underloading is uneconomical. Over-
loading gives a poorer quality of drying
and may cause unnecessary creasing.
^ To avoid unnecessarily long drying
times and high consumption of en-
ergy:
– Make sure the room in which the
dryer is located is well ventilated.
– Make sure the fluff filter is clean be-
fore using the dryer.
– Check all parts of the ventilation sys-
tem on a regular basis and remove
any build up of fluff etc.
^ The vent ducting should be as short,
straight and smooth as possible to
minimise any resistance to the air
throughflow.
This helps to reduce running times
and energy consumption levels.
