5İnitial Preparations For Drying
Things to be done for energy saving:
•Make sure that you operate the product at its full capacity but pay attention to not exceeding it.
•Spin your laundry at the highest speed possible when washing them. Thus, the drying time is shortened and energy consumption is decreased.
•Pay attention to dry same types of laundry together.
•Follow the instructions in the user manual for programme selection.
•Make sure that sufficient clearance is provided at the front and rear side of the dryer for air circulation. Do not block the grill at the front side of the product.
•Do not open the door of the machine during drying unless necessary. If you must certainly open the door, pay attention not to keep it open for a long time.
•Do not add new (wet) laundry during drying.
•Lint and fibres released from the laundry to the air during the drying cycle are collected in the “Lint Filter”.
Make sure that you clean the filters before or after each drying.

•In vented models, follow the chimney connection rules in the user manual and pay attention to the chimney cleaning.

Off button is pressed (if the dryer is energized).
