AEG TURBO 1480 - Manual (Page 29)

Preliminary operations for tumble drying
All washer-dryers consume power to dry laundry. The machine will
operate most economically if the advice below is followed:
Remove as much water as possible from the laundry!
The machine will use less energy if the laundry is thor­
oughly spun before drying. A good spin reduces power con­
sumption, shortens the drying time and enables the machine
to operate more economically.
Use optimum loads!
Keep to the loads recommended in the programme
chart to ensure economical drying. The following list may be
used as a guide to estimate the weight of common laundry
items;

be left open and the water drain hose must discharge into a
sink or into a drain connection.
