Energy saving tips
To avoid unnecessarily long drying times
and high consumption of energy:
– Make sure your laundry is spun at the
maximum spin speed before drying.
– Load according to the optimum
amount of laundry recommended for
the program being used. This will mean
that the energy consumption for the
amount of laundry is at its most economical.
– Clean the lint filters after every drying
cycle.
– Make sure the room temperature is not
too high.
If there are other heat producing appliances in the room in which the tumble
dryer is located, make sure the room
is well-ventilated and switch the other
appliances off, if possible.

Tips on drying
– Always observe the maximum recom-
mended load for each program (see Pro-
gram guide).
寿Overloading can cause unnecessary
wear and tear to the laundry, give a dis-
appointing drying result and cause more
creasing.
– Do not load the drum with items that are
still soaking wet. Make sure your laun-
dry is spun at the maximum spin speed
before drying.
– Minimum iron fabric tends to crease
more, the larger the load. This is partic-
ularly the case for garments made from
very fine weave fabric, such as dress
shirts or blouses.

Tip: You can alter the residual moisture level for some programs. See "Settings menu – Drying levels" in the operating
instructions.
Items made of synthetic
fibers are charged with
static electricity after
drying
Synthetic fibers tend to attract static charge.
Static charge can be reduced by adding a fabric softener to
the final rinse in the washing program.
There is a build-up of
lint
Lint is principally the result of friction when garments
are being worn and to some extent when they are being
washed. Machine drying hardly causes any lint to form.
Lint is collected by the lint and plinth filter and can be
removed easily.
See "Cleaning and care".
You can hear operating
noises (buzzing/humming)
This is not a fault. The compressor (heat pump) is operating
or you have selected the SoftSteam program.
No action required. These noises are quite normal and can
be heard when the compressor or the condensed water
pump is operating.
