Energy-saving tips

Energy-saving tips

Spin the laundry before drying. The 

drier the laundry, the shorter the 

programme will be, in turn reducing 

energy consumption.

Load the appliance with the 

maximum loads permitted for the 

programmes. 

Note:  

 If the maximum load is 

exceeded, this extends the programme 

duration and increases energy 

consumption.

Operate the appliance in a ventilated 

room and make sure that the air inlet 

on the appliance is unobstructed so 

that air exchange can take place 

unhindered.

Regularly remove the fluff from the 

appliance. If there is fluff in the 

appliance, this extends the 

programme duration and increases 

energy consumption.

If you do not perform any actions on 

the appliance for an extended period 

before the programme starts or once 

the programme has ended, the 

appliance will automatically switch to 

Energy saving mode. The display 

and indicator lights will go out after a 

few minutes and 

Start/Pause

 

Ü

 will 

flash.To end Energy saving mode, all 

you need to do is perform an action 

on the appliance, such as opening 

and closing the door.

If you do not perform any actions on 

the appliance for an extended period 

when it is in Energy saving mode, 

the appliance will automatically 

switch itself off.

Note:  

If Wi-Fi is activated, the appliance 

will not switch itself off automatically.
