Environmentally friendly use of your dryer
Your new Gaggenau® dryer is designed to use energy in
a highly efficient way to help reduce operating costs,
conserve resources and protect the environment.
To save energy, money and time, Gaggenau®
recommends the following:
▯ Spin the laundry thoroughly
Before drying, spin the laundry thoroughly in the
washing machine. Use the highest possible spin
speed for the type of laundry. Higher spin speeds
reduce the drying time and the energy consumption.
▯ Use optimum load
Utilize the maximum amount of laundry for the
appropriate cycle. However, do not exceed
recommended loads.

▯ Clean filter
Clean the lint filter before or after each drying
process.

▯ Air inlet on the dryer
Do not cover or allow any articles/items to restrict the
air inlet on the front of the dryer.
▯ Energy-saving mode
The display panel lighting goes out after a few minutes
and A (Start/Pause) flashes. To activate the display,
press any button.
Energy-saving mode is not activated if a program is

Installation for best performance
9 CAUTION
Do not install the dryer:
▯ outdoors,
▯ in an environment with dripping water,
▯ near flammable materials,
▯ in rooms which are at risk of freezing,
▯ in rooms which may contain gas or other fuels,
▯ on carpets.
Tip: Because many variables affect drying time we recommend allowing as much free air space around your dryer as possible for the shortest drying cycle time. If your dryer is located in a closet, consider both leaving the closet door open while the dryer is operating and space allowed to fully open the dryer door.
Do not operate the dryer at temperatures above 95°F
(35°C) or below 41°F (5°C). Low temperatures affect
the drying process and may prolong the drying times.
The installation surface (floor) must be level and
structurally sound. Using the bubble level and the heightadjustable feet installed on the appliance, level the
appliance side to side and front to back.
