Hints on saving energy

Make sure that your laundry has been
thoroughly spun at the highest appro-
priate spin speed before drying. Spin-
ning at 1600 rpm, for example, saves
approximately 30% energy and time
compared with 800 rpm.
Load the full amount of laundry ac-
cording to the programme chosen
(see "Programme chart") for the
most economical drying related to
the size of the load. Make sure that
the drum is not over- or underloaded.
As far as possible, sort fabrics for:
– the type of fibre or weave
– the degree of drying required
– similar size of items
– the moisture content after
spinning.
This will help towards an even drying
result.
Ensure the room is well ventilated.

Switching on and loading

Fasten duvet covers etc to prevent
small items from being rolled up in-
side them.
Do up zips and tie fabric belts and
apron strings.
Press the "l-On / 0-Off" button.
Press the "Door" button and open
the door.

Make sure there is no washing
detergent dispenser among the
laundry, as this could melt and dam-
age the machine and the laundry.
Load the laundry very loosely into
the drum.
Do not overload the drum. Over-
loading can cause unnecessary
wear and tear to the laundry and
give a disappointing drying result.
Close the door.
Important: Please check that items
of laundry cannot be trapped by the
door, as this will cause damage to
the fabric.
