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 30 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).
