Ecological hints

To save energy and to help protect the environment,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.

Select the drying programme according to the type of laundry and the required degree of dryness.

To utilize the maximum load, laundry which is to be dried ready to put away (store dry) can be dried together with items to be ironed. To do this, select the programme for iron-dry, remove the iron-dry items at the end of the programme and then finish-dry the rest of the load.

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.
