5.1 Environmental protection: disposal
❖ Appliances bearing this symbol « » must not be disposed of together with
household waste throughout the EU. To prevent potential damage to the
environment or human health from uncontrolled waste disposal and to promote
the sustainable reuse of material resources, responsibly supply the appliance to a
recycling centre.
5.2 Environmental protection: energy saving
❖ Try to load the appliance up to its particular maximum capacity. Little loads are
uneconomical.

❖ Always select a drying programme according to the type of laundry and the
required drying level required.
❖ Accumulated contamination on the fluff filter reduces the air circulation, causes
longer drying-times and increased energy consumption. Clean the fluff filter after
each use of the appliance.
❖ Ensure that the installation room is well ventilated.
