Environmental tips
• In the dryer, laundry becomes fluffy and soft. Fabric softeners are not
therefore needed when washing.
• Your dryer will function most economically if you:
– always keep the ventilation slots on the base of the dryer
unobstructed;
– use the loading volumes specified in the programme overview;
– ensure you have good ventilation in the installation room;
– clean the micro-fine filter and fine strainer after each drying
cycle;
– spin the laundry well before drying. Example: Consumption data –
depending on spinning speed – for 7kg of laundry, dried using the
COTTONS STORAGE DRY (KATOEN KASTDROOG) programme.
