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).
