authorized service representative.
E04| Contact your nearest authorized service representative.
E05| Contact your nearest authorized service representative.
E06| Contact your nearest authorized service representative.
E08| There may be voltage fluctuations in the power supply. In this case, wait until the voltage value returns to the operating range.

Energy efficiency

• You should use the dryer at full power, but make sure it is not overloaded.
• When washing clothes, the spin speed should be as high as possible. This reduces drying time and reduces  power consumption.
• Make sure the same types of laundry are dried together.
• When selecting a program, follow the recommendations in the instruction manual.
• Leave a suitable gap on the front and back of the dryer for air circulation. Do not cover the grilles on the front of the appliance.
• If it is not necessary, do not open the dryer door during drying. If you have to open the door, do not leave it open too long.
• Do not add new (wet) laundry during the drying run.
• The hairs and fibres that separate from the laundry and merge in the air are collected using the “Textile Fibre Filters”. Make sure the filters are cleaned before and after each use.
• For heat pump models, make sure the heat pump is cleaned at least once a month or after every 30 uses.
• The environment in which the dryer is installed must be well ventilated during drying.

1. Scale from +++ (most effiective) to D (least effiective)
2. Energy consumption is based on 160 standard cycles of standard cotton program at full load, partial load, and low power consumption modes. The actual energy consumption per cycle depends on how the appliance is used.
3. The “Closet Drying Program” used at full and partial load is a standard drying program that is subject to the information on the label and information sheet. This program is suitable for drying normal wet cotton laundry and is the most efficient program for energy consumption for cotton.
4. Scale from G (least effiective) to A (most effiective)
5. Weighted average value – L wA expressed in dB (A) re 1 pW
