Drying tips
14.1
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.
▪
Select «EcoManagement» to find efficient programmes.
