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
machine as small loads are uneconomical.
• Always load well spun laundry. The higher the
spin speed, the lower the electricity
consumption and the shorter the drying times.
• Do not over-dry laundry, this avoids creasing
and saves energy.
Select the drying programme according to the
type of laundry and the required degree of
dryness.
• To utilize the maximum load, laundry which is
to be dried ready to put away (store dry) can
be dried together with items to be ironed. To do
this, select the programme for iron-dry, remove
the iron-dry items at the end of the programme
and then finish-dry the rest of the load.
• Clean the filters regularly to avoid excessive
drying times and high electricity consumption.
• Ventilate the room well. The room temperature
should not 35°C during drying.
