Ecological hints
To save energy and to help protect the
environment,we recommend that you
follow these hints:
• Try to load the maximum capacity of
the machineas small loads are
uneconomical.
• Always load well spun laundry. The
higher the spinspeed, the lower the
electricity consumption andthe shorter
the drying times.
• Do not over-dry laundry, this avoids
creasing andsaves energy.
Select the drying programme
according to thetype of laundry and
the required degree ofdryness.
• To utilize the maximum load, laundry
which is tobe dried ready to put away
(store dry) can be driedtogether with
items to be ironed. To do this,
selectthe programme for iron-dry,
remove the iron-dryitems at the end of
the programme and thenfinish-dry the
rest of the load.
• Clean the filters regularly to avoid
excessive dryingtimes and high
electricity consumption.
• Ventilate the room well. The room
temperatureshould not exceed +35°C
during drying.
