3.1Disposal of packaging
The packaging materials are environmentally compatible and can be recycled. Sort the individual components by type and dispose of
them separately.

3.2Saving energy
If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use less power.
Operate the appliance in a well-ventilated room and keep the ventilation opening on the appliance clear. a If air exchange is impeded, this extends the program
duration and increases energy consumption.
Spin the laundry in the washing machine before drying. a Damper laundry extends the program duration and
increases energy consumption.
Observe the program’s maximum load capacity. “Programs”, Page 19 a If the maximum load is exceeded, this extends the
program duration and increases energy consumption.
After drying, clean the lint screen Page 22. a If the lint screen is dirty, this reduces the air flow in the
appliance, extends the program duration, and increases energy consumption.
Deactivate Wi-Fi on the appliance if it is not being used. “Deactivating Wi-Fi on the appliance”, Page 26. a If the Wi-Fi is activated, this increases energy
consumption.
3.3Energy-saving mode
If you do not use the appliance for an extended period, it automatically switches to energy-saving mode. All displays go out and flashes. Energy-saving mode ends when you use the appliance again. If you do not continue operating the appliance, it automatically switches to standby mode.
