Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing mate‐
rial
The packaging is designed to protect
the appliance fr
transportation. The packaging materials
used are selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and should be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of r
ing process and also reduces the
amount of waste in landfill sites.

om damage during
Disposal of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances of‐
ten contain valuable materials. They al‐
so contain materials which, if handled
or disposed of incorrectly, could be po‐
tentially hazardous to human health and
to the environment. They are, however,
essential for the correct functioning of
your appliance. Please do not therefore
dispose of it with your household
waste.
Energy saving tips
To avoid unnecessarily long drying
times and high
– Make sure that your laundry is thor‐
ghly spun before drying. The high‐
ou
er the spin, the greater the savings
that can be made in energy and time
during drying.
– Load according to the optimum
amo
unt of laundry recommended for
the programme being used. Under‐
loading is uneconomical. Overload‐
ing gives a poorer quality of drying
and may cause unnecessary creas‐
ing.
– Make sure the room temperature is
t too high. If there are other heat
no
producing appliances in the room in
which the dryer is located, make sure
the room is well ventilated and switch
the other appliances off, if possible.
– Clean the fluff filters in the door
openi
ng after every drying cycle.

Heat pump t
The heat pump in this tumble dryer uses a refrigerant which is con‐

heat exchanger unit where heat exchange with the circulating drying
air takes place.
– The humming noises caused by the heat pump are normal and do

– In general it is not necessary to leave the dryer standing for any

been transported and installed correctly (see "Installation and
connection").
If it has not been transported as described, ensure that the rec‐
ommended standing time prior to first operation is observed. Oth‐
