First of all I must say that this is actually my first dryer. Since I am very lazy when it comes to reading instructions, I have simply taken free muzzle the dryer in operation! Delivery by tel. Appointment went faster than announced at Amazon and also to the request, to take the package, there are shippers taken after they have carried him to the basement. Well, the first wash was unfortunately freucht because I think I have selected the wrong program! I use actually for towels and bed linen Cotton extra dry, which takes 3.30 h but then does that also. For mixed laundering such as T-shirts and another mixture, I use the mix cabinet dry with 1,36h and is then actually dry - except you put a pair of jeans and a very thick Kaupuzenpulli pure, so yes always eternally need to dry. The great thing though: The dryer corrects the time simply because of the Restfreuchtigkeit !! What took in this case, unfortunately, longer equal to 2 h. Since I still have ds right program for find thick wet clothes like jeans ... For my towels were already once after 2 hours and dry the dryer then terminates the Trockenvorgang- very great- others would continue to run, although this would no longer be necessary yes !!! Which, of course, the power consumption really is now, I can not say !! I just always calm that he is an A ++ appliance and since I just choose the longest programs Must 3,36h that's just so ... Clean the Flussensieb I do anyway after each drying cycle, as well as empty the condensed water, but that's also perfectly normal in my opinion, and is done in 2 simple steps, if you want a small trash can on the dryer turns on the rivers .. I just hope to lack of my interest to read the instructions that there are only the two screens on the door that I have to clean :-) According to I find him not, but he is with us in the cellar. That would be the time being even my opinion. I am satisfied and am curious if it will affect our electricity bill, with our 3-4 passages in the week, which is but soon increase because of our Nachwuches.
