Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing material
The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and can normally be recycled.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation!
Rather than just throwing these materi- als away, please ensure they are of- fered for recycling.
Disposal of your old appliance
Old machines contain materials which can be reclaimed or recycled. Please contact your dealer, your local waste collection centre or scrap merchant about potential recycling schemes.
Before discarding an old machine un- plug it and render the plug useless. Cut off the cable directly behind the appli- ance to prevent misuse. This should be done by a competent person.
Ensure that the machine presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.
Energy saving tips
^Make sure that your laundry is thor- oughly spun before drying.
The higher the spin, the greater the savings that can be made in energy and time during drying.
^Load according to the optimum amount of laundry recommended for the programme being used (see "Programme chart").
Underloading is uneconomical. Overloading gives a poorer quality of drying and may cause unnecessary creasing.
^To avoid unecessarily long drying times and high consumption of en- ergy:
–Make sure the room in which the dryer is located is well ventilated.
–Make sure the fluff filter is clean be- fore using the dryer.
–Check all parts of the ventilation sys- tem on a regular basis and remove any build up of fluff etc.
^The vent ducting should be as short, straight and smooth as possible to minimise any resistance to the air throughflow.
This helps to reduce running times and energy consumption levels.
