Drying tips
15.1
Saving energy
▪
Spin the washing in the washing machine at a high spin speed before tumble drying.
Mechanical draining in the washing machine is much more efficient than water evapor-
ation in the tumble dryer.
▪
Clean the door filter and the filter mats regularly. Dirty fluff filters block the air flow and
reduce the appliance's efficiency.
▪
Where possible fill the drum to the maximum load capacity of the relevant pro-
gramme.
▪
Keep windows and doors closed when using the
room air drying operating
mode.
▪
Hang up as much washing as possible per drying process when using the
room
air drying operating mode.
▪
Select «EcoManagement» to find efficient programmes.
15.2
Avoiding damage
▪
Follow the fabric care symbols on garment labels.
▪
For drying, it is recommended that tumble dryer sheets or other fabric care solutions
not be used.
▪
Remove foreign objects and larger parts made of metal or hard plastic (e.g. buckles,
stones, detergent dosing aids) before tumble drying. These can dent the drum.
▪
Fasten hook and eye fasteners and zips. These can damage the laundry and the
drum.
▪
Fasten cloth belts, apron ties and duvet and pillow cases to avoid them getting
tangled up.

Disposal
16.1
Packaging
Never allow children to play with packaging material due to the danger of injury or
suffocation. Store the packaging material in a safe location or dispose of it in an
environmentally-friendly way.
16.2
Safety
Render the appliance unusable to prevent accidents caused by improper use (e.g.
through children playing):
▸ Disconnect the appliance from the mains. With a fixed appliance, this is to be carried
out by a qualified electrician. Then cut the mains cable off flush with the appliance.
▸ Remove or disable the lock on the appliance door.
