Tips for drying and for economic use
of the dryer
Drying is economically most effective if you dry
•
the recommended quantity of laundry per one
charge (see Program Chart).
Do not dry the laundry made of especially
•
sensitive fi bers (wool, silk), which may shrink or
lose shape.
It is not necessary to use a fabric conditioner
•
when washing the laundry, since drying makes it
soft and tender.
Drying time is much shorter and consequently the
•
energy consumption lower if laundry is well spun
prior tumble dring (minimum 1000 spin RPM).
By selecting the most suitable drying program,
•
you will avoid over-drying and deffi cult ironing.
By cleaning the fi lter on regular basis drying time
•
is shorter and consumes less energy.

129316
Cleaning and maintenance
Cleaning the fi lter Cleaning the fi lter
After every drying clean the fi lter, located in the
•
inner part of the door.
Lift the fi lter lid (Fig.).
•
Pull your fi ngers over the fi lter to remove fi bers
•
and threads lining. Replace the fi lter cover.
If necessary, also clean the fi lter housing and door
•
sealing.
Cleaning of the fi lter on the lower side of the
door opening (only with some models)
Before removing clothes from the drum, clean the
fi lter on the lower side of the door opening with a
damp cloth or wet hand.
If the fi lter is clogged in such way that it needs
washing, pull it out from its bed (Fig.), wash it under
hot water and dry. Be sure that the replaced fi lter
snaps safely to its position, and only then close the
fi lter lid.
If the fi lter is not regularly cleaned, the
airfl ow is obstructed, which causes longer
drying time and danger of overheating.
