By preference use the maximum spin speed allowed by your washing machine, since draining the water mechanically requires less energy. Clean the lint filter after every drying cycle. Place your dryer in a room with a temperature between 15°C and 20°C. In case of higher temperature ventilate the room. Always select the correct programme/drying time for the load in order to obtain the desired drying results. Select the gentle option only with small loads. When drying cotton, for example: dry iron dry and cupboard dry loads together. Start with the iron dry programme/drying time setting, remove the laundry to be ironed at the end of that cycle and dry the remainder of the load on the cupboard dry setting. • • 4.
