Recommendations

To achieve efficient drying results and prolong appliance life, avoid overfilling the drum, use appropriate detergent doses and select lower spin speeds for delicate garments. For optimal energy and water use, prefer Eco and low-temperature programs when appropriate, and consult the installation manual for ventilation and servicing requirements in built-in installations.
