Disposal of the packing
material
The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and can normally be recycled.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,
bags etc. are disposed of safely and
kept out of the reach of babies and
young children. Danger of suffocation!
Rather than just throwing these
materials away, please ensure they are
offered for recycling.
Disposal of your old machine
Old machines contain materials which
can be reclaimed or recycled. Please
contact your dealer, your local waste
collection centre or scrap merchant
about potential recycling schemes.
Ensure that the machine presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.
Before throwing an old machine away,
unplug it and render the plug useless.
Cut off the cable directly behind the
machine to prevent misuse. This should
be done by a competent person.
Energy saving tips
^
Make sure that your laundry is
thoroughly spun before drying.
The higher the spin, the greater the
savings that can be made in energy
and time during drying.
^
When the ambient temperature is
warm (over 25°C) e.g. in summer,
select the
Energy save
additional
option to reduce energy
consumption.
^
Load according to the optimum
amount of laundry recommended for
the programme being used (see
Programme chart).
Underloading is uneconomical.
Overloading gives a poorer quality of
drying and may cause unnecessary
creasing.
^ To avoid unnecessarily long drying
times and high consumption of
energy:
–
Make sure the room in which the
dryer is located is well ventilated.
–
Make sure the fluff filter is clean
before using the dryer.
–
Check all parts of the ventilation
system on a regular basis and
remove any build up of fluff etc.
^
The vent ducting should be as short,
straight and smooth as possible to
minimise any resistance to the air
throughflow.
This helps to reduce running times
and energy consumption levels.
