connections. Your house may be flooded

if the hose gets out of its housing during water discharge.

Important:

• The hose should be attached to a height of maximum 80 cm.

• You must be careful not the pinch or

bend the hose.

• The end of the hose should not be bent,

it should not be stepped on and it must not be folded between the drain and the machine.

3 Initial preparations for drying

Things to be done for energy saving:

• Make sure that you operate the product

at its full capacity but pay attention to

not exceeding it.

• Spin your laundry at the highest speed

possible when washing them. Thus, the drying time is shortened and energy consumption is decreased.

• Pay attention to dry same types of

laundry together.

• Follow the instructions in the user

manual for programme selection.

• Make sure that sufficient clearance

is provided at the front and rear side of the dryer for air circulation. Do not block the grill at the front side of the product.

• Do not open the door of the machine during drying unless necessary. If you

must certainly open the door, pay attention not to keep it open for a long time.

• Do not add new (wet) laundry during

drying.

• Lint and fibres released from the

laundry to the air during the drying

cycle are collected in the “Lint Filter”. Make sure that you clean the filters

before or after each drying.

• In models with condenser, make sure

that you clean the condenser regularly at least once every month or after every 30 drying cycles.

• In vented models, follow the chimney

connection rules in the user manual and pay attention to the chimney cleaning.

• Ventilate the room, where the dryer is

located, well during drying.

• For power saving in models with lamps,

at times when your dryer is not in

use, keep the door closed if the On/ Off button is pressed (if the dryer is energized).
