Energy saving tips

To avoid unnecessarily long drying times 
and high consumption of energy:

 

Make sure your laundry is spun at the 
maximum spin speed before drying. 
 
 
 
 

 

Load according to the optimum 
amount of laundry recommended for 
the program being used. This will mean 
that the energy consumption for the 
amount of laundry is at its most eco-
nomical.

 

Clean the lint filters after every drying 
cycle. 

 

Make sure the room temperature is not 
too high. 
If there are other heat producing appli-
ances in the room in which the tumble 
dryer is located, make sure the room 
is well-ventilated and switch the other 
appliances off, if possible.

1.  Notes on correct laundry care

 

寿

Remove foreign objects like detergent dispensing 

devices from the laundry. 

They can melt and damage the dryer and the laundry.

 

ĺ

Sort the laundry according to the type of fiber and 
weave, size, garment care label symbol, and the drying 
level required.

 

ĺ

Untangle the laundry.

 

ĺ

Check seams and stitching to ensure that padding and 
linings are intact.

 

ĺ

Fasten duvet covers and pillow cases to prevent small 
items from being rolled up inside them.

 

ĺ

Fasten hooks and eyes.

 

ĺ

Tie together textile belts and apron ties.

 

ĺ

Sew in or remove underwiring from bras.
