Energy savings

There are various steps you can take to avoid unnecessarily long drying times and high energy consumption:

  • Make sure your laundry is spun at the maximum spin speed before drying.
  • Load according to the optimum amount of laundry recommended for the drying program. This will mean that the energy consumption for the amount of laundry is at its most economical.
  • 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 appli-ances off.

  • Fasten duvet covers and pillow cases to prevent small items from being rolled up inside them.

Loading the tumble dryer Do not overload the drum. Overloading can give a disap-pointing drying result and cause unnecessary wear and tear to the laundry. It can also cause more creasing.

  • Loosen the laundry.
  • Open the tumble-dryer door.
