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!
