11
Environmentally
compatible drying

Wringing wet laundry: waste of energy!
►

the laundry before drying by spinning in
a washing machine or spin dryer.

the drying time and lower the energy
consumption.
►
You should also spin easy care laundry.

Overfilling affects the drying result and
severely creases the laundry.
►
Do not exceed the maximum load.
Small loads are uneconomical and
result in increased wear of laundry and
machine.
►
If possible, always load the dryer with
the maximum load.
Observe before first use
►
Install the machine according to the
installation instructions.
►
Wipe the inside of the drum with a
damp cloth.
