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.
