Environmental tips
• In the dryer, laundry becomes fluffy and
soft. Fabric softeners are not therefore
needed when washing.
• Your dryer will function most economically
if you:
– Always keep the ventilation slots on the
base of the dryer unobstructed;
– Use the loading volumes specified in the
programme overview;
– Ensure you have good ventilation in the
installation room;
– Clean the micro-fine filter and fine
strainer after each drying cycle;
– Spin the laundry well before drying.
Energy consumption depends on
spinning speed set in washing machine.
Higher spinning speed - lower energy
consumption.
