5.4 Things to be done for energy
saving
Following information will help you
use the dryer in an ecological and
energy-efficient manner.
• Spin your laundry at the
highest speed possible when
washing them. Thus, the drying
time is shortened and energy
consumption is reduced.
• Sort out the laundry depending on
their type and thickness. Dry the
same type of laundry together.
For example thin kitchen towels
and table clothes dries earlier
than thick bathroom towels.

18
• Follow the instructions in the

keep it open for a long time.
• Do not add wet laundry while the
dryer is in operation
• Clean the lint filter before or after
each drying cycle.
• Clean the filter periodically when
there is visible air collection on it
or when the symbol lights up, if
there is a filter drawer cleaning
warning symbol “ ” available.
• Ventilate the room, where the
dryer is located, well during
drying.
5.5 Correct load capacity
Follow the instructions in the
“Programme selection and
consumption table”. Do not load
