11.2. Energy Eciency
• You should operate the dryer to full
capacity, but make sure that it is not
overloaded.
• When the laundry is being washed,
the spin speed should be at the
highest level possible. This will shorten
the drying time and reduce energy
consumption.
• Make sure that the same kinds of
laundry are dried together.
• Please follow the recommendations
in the user manual for programme
selection.
• For air circulation, leave an appropriate
clearance on the front and back sides
of the Dryer. Do not cover the grills on
the front side of the machine.
• Unless necessary, do not open the
door of the machine when drying. If you
have to open it, do not keep it open for
a long time.
• Do not add new (wet) laundry during
the drying process.
• Hairs and lint that detach from the
laundry and merge in the air are
collected by the "Lint Filters". Please
before and after each use.
• For models with a condenser, make
sure that the condenser is cleaned at
least once a month or after each 30
uses.
• During the drying process, the
environment where the dryer is installed
must be well ventilated.
