Protection of the environment Tips on saving energy To save energy, money and time, Bosch recommends the following: - Drain the laundry thoroughly!

Higher spin speeds reduce the drying time and the energy consumption. - Use optimum load! Use maximum recommended loads. However, do not exceed loads. - Clean filter! Clean the filter before and after each drying process (see page 23). - Ventilate the room! During the drying process provide an adequate supply of fresh air. - Do not dry unsuitable materials!
