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.
