5Initial 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 models with condenser, make sure that you clean the condenser regularly at least once every month or after every 30 drying cycles.

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

•Ventilate the room, where the dryer is located, well during drying.

•For power saving in models with lamps, at times when your dryer is not in use, keep the door closed if the On/ Off button is pressed (if the dryer is energized).
