ENERGY SAVING TIPS
To
save energy, time and money, Bosch recommends
the following:
• Always spin dry the wash in the washer
at
the
highest recommended speed for the fabric type.
The highest spin speed will resultina dryer load
and shorten the drying time and amount
of
energy required to dry the load.
• Spin dry delicate washing before tumble drying.
• Load the dryer properly. Do not exceed the
maximum load (see CYCLE SELECTION
CHART).
• Always clean the lint filter after each use of the
dryer.
OPERATING TIPS
• Follow the fabric care labels on the clothing.
• Avoid very small loads. When only one or two
items need drying, add a few similar items to
improve drying efficiency.
• Do not mix heavyweight and lightweight clothing.
• Do not dry wool or fabrics with a wool content
• Do not dry fabrics that do not allow the free
passage
of
air (for example, GORTEX)
• Do not dry delicate fabrics such as, silk, synthetic
net curtains, etc.
