Caring for the environment
Disposal of packing material
The packing materials protect the dryer from damage during transport. They have been selected for environmental compatibility and efficient disposal and can therefore be recycled.
To prevent suffocation, ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags, etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of children.
Disposing of your old appliance
Old appliances may contain materials that can be recycled. Please contact your local recycling authority about the possibility of recycling these materials.
Ensure that a discarded dryer presents no danger to children. When being stored for disposal remove the door to the drying compartment.
Saving energy
To avoid unnecessarily long drying times and increased energy use:
–Let the wash spin in the washer at maximum spin speed.
You can save about 30% in energy and time if you spin at 1600 instead of 800 rpm.
–Use the maximum load for each drying program. This gives the optimum energy consumption in relation to the total amount of laundry.
–Ensure that the room where the dryer is located is sufficiently ventilated.
–Clean the lint screen after every use.
–Inspect the vent ducting regularly and its components for possible stoppage by lint and remove as necessary.
–When installing, the vent ducting avoid too many curves or bends.
