Precautions against frost
If your washing machine is exposed to temperatures below 0°C, take
the following precautions :

User information
Water that remained in the pipes will then be evacuated, thus
preventing the formation of frost or ice that can damage your washing
machine.
The next time you want to use your washing machine, make sure that
it is installed in a room in which the temperature is above 0°C.
Scrapping
All materials marked with the symbol can be recycled. Put them in
a waste tip (ask for information from your municipal offices) so that
they can be recovered and recycled.
When you take your washing machine to the tip, make sure that
everything that could be dangerous is out of service ; cut the power
supply cable flush with the surface of your washing machine.
Protection of the environment
We recommend that the following instructions should be followed to
achieve savings in water and energy and therefore to contribute to
protection of the environment:
• If possible, use the washing machine at full capacity rather than
with partial loads (however, do not overload the drum).
• Only use the Prewash or Soak function for very dirty washing.
• Use a detergent dose adapted to the water hardness (see «proportioning of detergents» section) and to the amount of washing and
how dirty it is.

Setting options
Options can be added to a wash cycle that has already been selected.
Press the OPTION key . The display shows the symbols for the
options.
Prewash
Pre-washes at about 30°C before the main wash cycle, which follows
automatically.
Sensitive
Enhanced rinse action through an additional rinse cycle together with
decreased drum movement (improved fabric care). This is ideal when
frequent washes are necessary, for example, in cases of highly
sensitive skin. An additional rinse cycle can also be permanently set
(see section “Setup”).
Stain
For heavily soiled and stained washing. In-wash stain treatment
products are washed in at the optimum time as the programme
progresses.
Night Cycle
The washing is left to soak in the final rinse water. There is no final
spin and no intermediate spin. Because of tis the programme runs
very quietly. NIGHT CYCLE is therefore particularly suitable if you
want to wash at night.
Setup
The special functions that can be set under Setup remain permanently
stored in the appliance, e. g., time, language, etc. (see section “Setup”)
until they are changed or deactivated.
Only the options that can be combined with the cycle that has already
been set are shown in the display.
