Environmental and Economical Tips
CARING FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
Environmental and Economical Tips
Energy consumption
• The appliance performs best at a room temperature of 23 ℃.
• A high atmospheric temperature and a small room may both increase
drying time as well as energy consumption.
• Evenly loading laundry up to the capacity indicated by the
manufacturer for the respective programmes will contribute to
energy savings.
• Do not load soaking wet clothes into the appliance. It will cause an
increasing of drying time and energy consumption. Make sure that
the clothes are spun thoroughly before loading.
• If the clothes are not spun at a high speed during washing, energy
consumption and drying times will increase. Large bed sheets or quilt
covers may not dry evenly due to uneven airflow should they become
rolled up. They may require removal and reloading mid cycle to
ensure proper drying.
• Open the door and ensure the lint filter is clean. When the filter is full
with lint, drying times will be longer than usual.

Preparing the Clothes
Preparin g the Clothes
NOTE
• For the best drying performance and most efficient energy usage, do not overload
the appliance.
Checking the Clothes
before Loading
CAUTION
• Check that the clothes are not stuck
between appliance and door, or the
clothes may get damaged while
drying.
• Observe the maximum load capacity
on the programme table for the
relevant drying programme to get
optimum drying results. Overloading
gives a poor drying result and causes
unnecessary creasing.
• Do not load soaking wet clothes into
the appliance. Doing so will increase
the drying time and energy
consumption. Make sure that the
clothes are spun thoroughly in the
washer before loading them in the
dryer.
• A mixed fabric load can cause the
drying time to be extended and the
time remaining in the display to pause
during active drying until the actual
time remaining matches the time
displayed.
• Make sure to empty all pockets. Items
such as nails, hair clips, matches, pens,
coins and keys can damage both your
appliance and clothes.
• Remove loose belts and close zippers,
hooks and strings to make sure that
these items do not snag other clothes.
Sorting the Clothes
Clothes have their own fabric care labels,
so drying according to the fabric care
label is recommended.
Sort the clothes into size and type of
fabric and then prepare the clothes
according to the symbols on the fabric
care labels.
Woollens
• Dry woollens on the
Wool
programme.
Be sure to follow fabric care label
symbols first. Wool may not be
completely dried from the cycle, so do
not repeat drying. Pull woollens to
their original shape and dry them flat.
Woven and Loopknit Materials
• Some woven and loopknit materials
may shrink, depending on quality.
No-Iron and Synthetics
• Do not overload the appliance. Take
out no-iron items as soon as the
appliance stops to reduce creases.

Before Calling for Service
Performance
Symptoms Possible Cause & Solution
Clothes take too
long to dry.
Load is not properly sorted.
• Separate heavy items from lightweight items. Larger and
heavier items take longer to dry. Light items in a load with
heavy items can fool the sensor because the light items dry
faster.
Large load of heavy fabrics.
• Heavy fabrics take longer to dry because they tend to retain
more moisture. To help reduce and maintain more
consistent drying times for large and heavy fabrics,
separate these items into smaller loads of a consistent size.
Appliance controls are not set properly.
• Use the appropriate control settings for the type of load
you are drying. Some loads may require an adjustment of
the dry level setting for proper drying.
Lint filter needs to be cleaned.
• The appliance displays a filter cleaning message before and
after the cycle operation. “Clean the filter to start the cycle”,
“Clean inner and outer filters to start cycle”
• Remove the lint from the lint filter before every cycle. With
the lint removed, hold the lint filter up to a light to see if it
is dirty or clogged. With some loads that produce high
amounts of lint, such as new bath towels, it may be
necessary to pause the cycle and clean the filter during the
cycle.
House fuse is blown, circuit breaker has tripped, or power
outage has occurred.
• Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse. Do not increase fuse
capacity. If the problem is a circuit overload, have it
corrected by a qualified electrician.
Appliance is overloaded.
• Divide extra large loads into smaller loads for better drying
performance and efficiency.
47
Before Calling for Service
Clothes take too
long to dry.
Appliance is underloaded.
• If you are drying a very small load, add a few extra items to
ensure proper tumbling action. If the load is very small and
you are using Sensor Dry programmes, the electronic
control cannot properly sense the dryness of the load and
may shut off too soon. Use Timed Drying programmes or
add some extra wet clothes to the load.
Drying time is not
consistent.
Heat settings, load size, or dampness of clothing is not
consistent.
• The drying time for a load will vary depending on the type
of heat used (electric), the size of the load, the type of
fabrics, the wetness of the clothes, and lint filter. Even an
unbalanced load in the appliance can cause poor spinning,
resulting in wetter clothes which will take longer to dry.
Greasy or dirty
spots are left on
clothes.
Fabric softener is used incorrectly.
• When washing clothes that are to be dried in the appliance,
use the correct amount of fabric softener as recommended
by the manufacturer of the fabric softener.
Clean and dirty clothes are being dried together.
• Use the appliance to dry only clean items. Soil from dirty
clothes can transfer to the clean clothes in the same or later
loads.
Clothes were not properly cleaned or rinsed before being
placed in the appliance.
• Stains on dried clothes could be stains that were not
removed during the washing process. Make sure that
clothes are being completely cleaned or rinsed according to
the instructions for your washing machine and detergent.
Some difficult soils may require pre-treating prior to
washing.
Clothes are
wrinkled.
Clothes have dried too long (overdried).
• Over drying a load of clothes can lead to wrinkled clothes.
Try a shorter drying time.
Clothes have been left in the appliance for too long after
cycle ends.
• Use the
Anti Crease
option.
Symptoms Possible Cause & Solution
48
Before Calling for Service
Clothes are
shrinking.
Garment care instructions are not being followed.
• To avoid shrinking your clothes, always consult and follow
fabric care instructions. Some fabrics will naturally shrink
when washed. Other fabrics can be washed but will shrink
when dried in the appliance. Use a low or no heat setting.
Lint is left on
clothes.
Lint filter has not been cleaned properly.
• Remove the lint from the lint filter after every cycle. With the
lint removed, hold the lint filter up to a light to see if it is
dirty or clogged. If it looks dirty, follow the cleaning
instructions. With some loads that produce high amounts
of lint, it may be necessary to clean the lint filter during the
cycle.
Clothes have not been sorted properly.
• Some fabrics are lint producers (i.e., a fuzzy white cotton
towel) and should be dried separately from clothes that are
lint trappers (i.e., a pair of black linen pants).
Appliance is overloaded.
• Divide extra large loads into smaller loads for drying.
Tissue, paper, etc., has been left in pockets.
• Check pockets thoroughly before drying clothes.
Excess static in
clothes after
drying.
Clothes have dried for too long (overdried).
• Overdrying a load of clothes can cause a buildup of static
electricity. Adjust settings and use a shorter drying time, or
use Sensor Dry programmes.
Drying synthetics, permanent press, or synthetic blends.
• These fabrics are naturally more prone to static buildup. Try
using fabric softener, or use shorter Timed Drying time
settings.
Symptoms Possible Cause & Solution

Before Calling for Service
Odours
Clothes have
damp spots after a
Sensor Dry
programme.
Very large load or very small load. Single large item such
as a blanket or comforter.
• If items are too tightly packed or too sparse the sensor may
have trouble reading the dryness level of the load. Use a
Timed Dry
programme for very small loads.
• Large, bulky items such as blankets or comforters can
sometimes wrap themselves into a tight ball of fabric. The
outside layers will dry and register on the sensors, while the
inner core remains damp. When drying a single bulky item,
it may help to pause the cycle once or twice and rearrange
the item to unwrap and expose any damp areas.
• To dry a few remaining damp items from a very large load
or a few damp spots on a large item after a Sensor Dry
programme has completed, empty the lint filter, then set a
Timed Dry
programme to finish drying the item(s).
Symptoms Possible Cause & Solution

an odour.
Are you using the appliance for the first time?
• The smell is caused by rubber material that is attached to
the appliance inside. This kind of smell is a rubber's own
smell and disappears automatically after using the
appliance several times.

The appliance has
an odour.
Do you smell an odour during use?
• Do not exceed the manufacturer's recommended amount
of detergent when washing clothes. Excess detergent can
build up on clothing and cause odours.
• Leaving clothes in the washer or dryer after the cycle ends
can lead to odors. Unload clothing promptly when the cycle
ends.
• Keep lint filters clean. Clogged or dirty lint filters can cause
odors. After cleaning the lint filter, allow it to dry completely
before using it.
• For ventless models, leave the dryer door open after drying,
or use the magnetic door stop (on some models) to keep
the door slightly ajar.
