Initial preparations for drying
Things to be done for energy saving:
• Make sure that you operate the product
at its full capacity but pay attention to
not exceeding it.
• Spin your laundry at the highest speed
possible when washing them. Thus,
the drying time is shortened and energy
consumption is decreased.
• Pay attention to dry same types of
laundry together.
• Follow the instructions in the user
manual for programme selection.
• Make sure that sufficient clearance is
provided at the front and rear side of the
dryer for air circulation. Do not block the
grill at the front side of the product.
• Do not open the door of the machine
during drying unless necessary. If you
must certainly open the door, pay
attention not to keep it open for a long
time.
• Do not add new (wet) laundry during
drying.
• Lint and fibres released from the laundry
to the air during the drying cycle are
collected in the "Lint Filter". Make sure
that you clean the filters before or after
each drying.
• In models with condenser, make sure
that you clean the condenser regularly
at least once every month or after every
15 drying cycles.
• In vented models, follow the chimney
connection rules in the user manual and
pay attention to the chimney cleaning.
• Ventilate the room, where the dryer is
located, well during drying.
•
For power saving in models with lamps, at
times when your dryer is not in use, keep
the door closed if the On/Off button is
pressed (if the dryer is energized).
