Disposing of the packing

material

The transport and protective packing

has been selected from materials which

are environmentally friendly for disposal

and should 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.

Disposal of your old machine

Electrical and electronic machines

often contain materials which, if

handled or disposed of incorrectly

could be potentially hazardous to

human health and to the environment.

They are, however, essential for the

correct functioning of your machine.

Please do not therefore dispose it with

your household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local

community waste recycling centre or

contact your dealer for advice. Ensure

that it presents no danger to children

while being stored for disposal.

Energy saving tips

To avoid unnecessarily long drying

times and high consumption of energy:

–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.

–Load according to the optimum

amount of laundry recommended for

the programme being used.

Underloading is uneconomical.

Overloading gives a poorer quality of

drying, and may cause unnecessary

creasing.

– Make sure the room in which the

dryer is located is well ventilated.

– Remove the fluff from the filter when

necessary (see "Cleaning and Care").

– 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.
