Energy-saving tips
■Spin the laundry before drying. The drier the laundry, the shorter the drying time will be, thus consuming less energy.
■Load the dryer with the maximum load.
Note: Do not exceed the maximum load for the programs, as this prolongs the drying time
and increases energy consumption.
■Ventilate the room and keep the air inlet on the dryer free to ensure air exchange.
■Clean the fluff filter after each drying cycle. If the fluff filter is dirty,
the drying time is prolonged and energy consumption is increased.
■Energy saving mode: If the dryer is not operated for a prolonged period, it automatically switches off before the program starts and when
the program has ended to save energy. The display panel
and indicator lamps go off after
a few minutes and the Start button flashes. To activate the lighting, press any button, open or close the dryer door or turn the program selector.
