ENERGY SAVING TIPS

save energy, time and money, Bosch recommends

the following:

•Always spin dry the wash in the washer

and shorten the drying time and amount

energy required to dry the load.

•Spin dry delicate washing before tumble drying.

•Load the dryer properly. Do not exceed the

maximum load (see CYCLE SELECTION

CHART).

•Always clean the lint filter after each use of the

dryer.

•Avoid very small loads. When only one or two

items need drying, add afew similar items to

•Do not mix heavyweight and lightweight clothing.

•Do not dry wool or fabrics with awool content

•Do not dry fabrics that do not allow the free

passage
