8.1 Ecological hints

• Do not use fabric softener to wash and then dry. In the tumble dryer laundry becomes soft automatically.

• Use the condensate as distilled water, e.g. for steam ironing. If necessary clean the condensate before (e.g. with a coffee filter) to remove possible small pieces of fluff.

• Always keep the airflow slots on the bottom of the appliance clear.

• Use the load volumes specified in the programmes chapter.

• Make sure that is good airflow in the appliance installation position.

• Clean the filter after each drying cycle.

• Spin good the laundry before drying.

8.2 Water hardness and conductivity

Water hardness can be different for different locations. Water hardness has an effect on the water conductivity and the operation of the conductivity sensor in the appliance. If you know the value of the water conductivity you can adjust the sensor to dry with the better results.

To change the sensor conductivity:

1.

Turn the programme dial to available programme.

2.

Push at the same time the Dry Plus and the Anticrease buttons. Hold down until one of the symbols go into view on the display:

–

low conductivity <300 μS/ cm

3.

4.

–

moderate conductivity

300-600 μS/cm

–

high conductivity >600

μS/cm

Push the Start Pause button again and again until you set necessary level.

To memorise the setting push at the same time the Dry Plus and the Anticrease buttons.
