Your New Tumble Dryer

This tumble dryer will give your wash that soft, relaxed feel whatever
the weather.

Extremely high quality standards both during development and
manufacturing guarantee a long service life for your appliance.

Maximum economy in the operation of your dryer is achieved through
very frugal electricity consumption and short drying times.

Energy saving tips

To save energy we recommend that you follow these
hints:

• Try to load the maximum capacity of the machine

as small loads are uneconomical.

• Always load well spun laundry. The higher the spin

speed, the lower the electricity consumption and
the shorter the drying times.

• Do not over-dry laundry, this avoids creasing and

saves energy.

• Clean the filters regularly to avoid excessive drying

times and high electricity consumption.

• Ventilate the room well. The room temperature

should not exceed +35°C during drying.

In the interest
of the environment

• Materials marked with the symbol are

recyclable.

• Check with your local Council or Environmental

Health Office to see if there are facilities in your
area for re-cycling this appliance.

• When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the

power supply cable and make the door closing
device unusable to prevent young children from
being trapped inside.

• Help to keep your country tidy - use authorised

disposal sites for your old appliance.

How do we help to protect the
environment? We use recycled paper!
