HINTS AND TIPS

Respect the care labels of your laundry; make sure that it is appropriate for being treated in a dryer.

DRYING CARE LABELS

The dots indicate the temperature degree for drying the laundry

Normal temperature

Reduced temperature

Do not tumble dry

SAVING TIPS

• To reduce the drying time, make sure that the laundry is spun with the maximum possible spin speed of the wash programme. This reduces the moisture content in the laundry.
• Always dry a full load; this optimizes the relative energy consumption.

ADAPTING THE DRYER TO WATER CONDUCTIVITY

The drying results are affected by the conductivity of the water used during washing. If, by modifying the available dryness levels (iron dry; cupboard dry; extra dry), you are not satisfied with the final drying results, you can adapt the water conductivity level. The dryer comes with preset level 2. Choose between level 1 (most damp results) and 5 (most dry results).

Refer to section OPTIONS, FUNCTIONS AND INDICATORS / Settings.

PROGRAMMES

Make sure that your laundry is suitable to be treated in a tumble dryer. Refer to HINTS AND TIPS / Care labels.

*Reference programmes for Energy Label / Regulation 392/2012 /EU Values are based on the default programme setting, with clean air and bottom filter. For consumer tests, the door filter and bottom filter need to be cleaned after each cycle.

The energy consumption and drying time may differ from the values above.

They depend on the operation conditions in your home (such as voltage fluctuation, mixture of textiles, humidity of the textiles after spinning, load volume).

The values are determined according to European Norm 61121 and refer to the default programme setting; changing the setting also impacts the consumption data.

HEAT PUMP SYSTEM

This dryer is fitted with a sealed heat pump system to dry your clothes. To operate, the heat pump contains fluorinated greenhouse gases (Fgases) which are covered by the Kyoto Protocol. These F gases are contained in a hermetically sealed unit. This sealed unit contains 0.33 kg of the F gas R134a which acts as a refrigerant. GWP = 1430 (1 t CO _2 ).

Power Consumption - Watts
Left-on mode	1.07
Off-mode	0.40
