Caring for the environment

Information on saving energy
You have purchased a heat pump dryer featuring the
latest technology. This dryer uses 50% less energy
than conventional dryers with electric heating. The
following tips will help you further lower your energy
consumption:
Wash your laundry on maximum spin cycle speed.
This will reduce drying time and energy consumption.
If the washing machine's last rinse cycle is with warm
water, a shorter drying time will be required due to
the lower residual moisture and the residual heat in
the laundry, which in turn saves energy.
Sort fabrics:
- by fiber/weave,
- by desired drying level,
- by residual moisture.
Only dry full loads, if possible. Under-loading is not
cost efficient. Overloading provides poor drying
results and has an adverse effect on fabrics. Optimal
energy consumption is relative to the total amount of
laundry.
A free lint filter and clean heat exchangers increase
the efficiency of the system and the drying process,
thereby reducing runtime and energy required.
Ensure sufficient room ventilation.
