ENERGY SAVING
AUTOMATIC SWITCH-OFF FUNCTION
- The dryer is designed to save energy. After the programme has finished, it therefore switches off automatically after about a quarter of an hour.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
- To reduce the drying time, make sure that the laundry is spun with the maximum possible spin speed of the wash programme. This reduces the moisture content in the laundry.
- Preferably dry a full load, as indicated in the Programmes table. This optimises the relative energy consumption.
- Do not over dry the laundry.
- Clean the door filter after every drying cycle.
- Clean the bottom filter after every fifth drying cycle.
- The optimum ambience temperature for the dryer is between 15 and 20 °C. In case of a higher temperature, air the room.
- Use Gentle option only with small loads.
- When drying cotton or synthetics laundry, run Iron dry and Cupboard dry loads together. Start the programme with dryness level Iron dry. At the end of the programme, remove the laundry to be ironed. Finish the drying process for the remaining load with dryness level Cupboard dry.
