2 Environmental protection tips

Your laundry will become light and soft in the laundry dryer even without a soft rinsing agent.

Loosen your laundry before loading it into the dryer. This helps to prevent lengthy running times and creasing. Ensure your laundry is

well spun.

If the amount of laundry is not enough for a particular degree of drying (e.g. HAND IRON), you should dry it in stages for best economy: Fill the dryer and select the programme HAND IRON; after the end of this programme take out your laundry for ironing. Finally dry the remaining laundry with the programme STORAGE DRY.

Only use the SPECIAL CARE button for loads up to 2.5kg!

Clean the fluff filter after every drying programme!

Empty the water reservoir after every drying programme!

1Caution! The condensed water is not suitable for drinking or for use with foodstuffs.

You can use the collected condensed water as distilled water in the household, but first pour it through a paper filter bag.

Clean the heat exchanger regularly. The dryer will operate more economically if you clean the heat exchanger regularly.
