To save energy we recommend that you follow these hints:

• Try to load the maximum capacity of the machine as small loads are uneconomical.

• To utilize the maximum load, laundry which is to be dried ready to put away (store dry) can be dried together with laundry to be ironed. To do this, select the programme “iron-dry”, remove the irondry items at the end of the programme and then finish-dry the rest of the laundry.

• 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.

• Clean the filter regularly to avoid excessive drying times and high electricity consumption.

• Ventilate the room well. The room temperature should not exceed +35°C during drying.
