Disposal of the packing
material
The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and should be recycled.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,
bags, etc are disposed of safely and
kept out of the reach of babies and
young children. Danger of suffocation.
Disposal of your old machine
Electrical and electronic machines
often contain materials which, if
handled or disposed of incorrectly
could be potentially hazardous to
human health and to the environment.
They are, however, essential for the
correct functioning of your machine.
Please do not therefore dispose it with
your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste recycling centre or
contact your dealer for advice. Ensure
that it presents no danger to children
while being stored for disposal.
Energy saving tips
To avoid unnecessarily long drying
times and high consumption of energy:
–Make sure that your laundry is
thoroughly spun before drying.
The higher the spin, the greater the
savings that can be made in energy
and time during drying.
–Load according to the optimum
amount of laundry recommended for
the programme being used.
Underloading is uneconomical.
Overloading gives a poorer quality of
drying and may cause unnecessary
creasing.
– Make sure the room in which the
dryer is located is well ventilated.
– After every cycle remove the fluff
from the fluff filter in the door and in
the door opening (see "Cleaning and
Care").
– Check the condenser unit from time
to time and clean it when necessary.
