3 Preparation

Things to be done for energy saving

Following information will help you use the product in an ecological and energy-efficient manner.

• Operate the product in the highest capacity allowed by the programme you have selected, but do not overload; see, "Programme and consumption table".

• Always follow the instructions on the detergent packaging.

• Wash slightly soiled laundry at low temperatures.

• Use faster programmes for small quantities of lightly soiled laundry.

• Do not use prewash and high temperatures for laundry that is not heavily soiled or stained.

• If you plan to dry your laundry in a dryer, select the highest spin speed recommended during washing process.

• Do not use detergent in excess of the amount recommended on the detergent package.

Sorting the laundry

• Sort laundry according to type of fabric, colour, and degree of soiling and allowable water temperature.

• Always obey the instructions given on the garment tags.

Preparing laundry for washing

• Laundry items with metal attachments such as, underwired bras, belt buckles or metal buttons will damage the machine. Remove the metal pieces or wash the clothes by putting them in a laundry bag or pillow case.

• Take out all substances in the pockets such as coins, pens and paper clips, and turn pockets inside out and brush. Such objects may damage the product or cause noise problem.

• Put small size clothes such as infant's socks and nylon stockings in a laundry bag or pillow case.

• Place curtains in without compressing them.

Remove curtain attachment items.

• Fasten zippers, sew loose buttons and mend rips and tears.

• Wash “machine washable” or “hand washable” labeled products only with an appropriate programme.

• Do not wash colours and whites together. New, dark coloured cottons release a lot of dye. Wash them separately.

• Tough stains must be treated properly before washing. If unsure, check with a dry cleaner.

• Use only dyes/colour changers and limescale removers suitable for machine wash. Always follow the instructions on the package.

• Wash trousers and delicate laundry turned inside out.

• Keep laundry items made of Angora wool in the freezer for a few hours before washing. This will reduce pilling.

• Laundry that are subjected to materials such as flour, lime dust, milk powder, etc. intensely must be shaken off before placing into the machine.

Such dusts and powders on the laundry may

5

build up on the inner parts of the machine in time and can cause damage.

Correct load capacity

The maximum load capacity depends on the type of laundry, the degree of soiling and the washing programme desired.

The machine automatically adjusts the amount of water according to the weight of the loaded laundry.

A Follow the information in the “Programme and consumption table”. When overloaded, machine's washing performance will drop. Moreover, noise and vibration problems may occur.

Loading the laundry

• Open the loading door.

• Place laundry items loosely into the machine.

• Push the loading door to close until you hear a locking sound. Ensure that no items are caught in the door.

C The loading door is locked while a programme is running. The door can only be opened a while after the programme comes to an end.

– (*) in addition, there is siphon piece in the softener compartment.

2 3 1

Detergent, softener and other cleaning agents

• Add detergent and softener before starting the washing programme.

• Never open the detergent drawer while the washing programme is running!

• When using a programme without prewash, do not put any detergent into the prewash compartment (compartment nr. I).

• In a programme with prewash, do not put liquid detergent into the prewash compartment (compartment nr. I).

• Do not select a programme with prewash if you are using a detergent bag or dispensing ball. Place the detergent bag or the dispensing ball directly among the laundry in the machine.

• If you are using liquid detergent, do not forget to place the liquid detergent cup into the main wash compartment (compartment nr. II).

Choosing the detergent type

The type of detergent to be used depends on the type and colour of the fabric.

• Use different detergents for coloured and white laundry.

EN

•Wash your delicate clothes only with special detergents (liquid detergent, wool shampoo, etc.) used solely for delicate clothes.

•When washing dark coloured clothes and quilts, it is recommended to use liquid detergent.

•Wash woolens with special detergent made specifically for woolens.

A Use only detergents manufactured specifically for washing machines.

A Do not use soap powder.

Adjusting detergent amount

The amount of washing detergent to be used depends on the amount of laundry, the degree of soiling and water hardness. Read the manufacturer's instructions on the detergent package carefully and follow the dosage values.

• Do not use amounts exceeding the dosage quantities recommended on the detergent package to avoid problems of excessive foam, poor rinsing, financial savings and finally, environmental protection.

• Use lesser detergent for small amounts or lightly soiled clothes.

• Use concentrated detergents in the recommended dosage.

Using softeners

Pour the softener into the softener compartment of the detergent drawer.

• Use the dosages recommended on the package.

• Do not exceed the (>max<) level marking in the softener compartment.

• If the softener has lost its fluidity, dilute it with water before putting it in the detergent drawer.

Using liquid detergents

If the product contains a liquid detergent cup:

• Make sure that you have placed the liquid detergent cup in compartment nr. “2”.

• Use the detergent manufacturer's measuring cup and follow the instructions on the package.

• Use the dosages recommended on the package.

• If the liquid detergent has lost its fluidity, dilute it with water before putting in the detergent cup.

If the product does not contain a liquid detergent cup:

• Do not use liquid detergent for the prewash in a programme with prewash.

• Use the detergent manufacturer's measuring cup and follow the instructions on the package.

• Liquid detergent stains your clothes when used with Delayed Start function. If you are going to use the Delayed Start function, do not use liquid detergent.

Using gel and tablet detergent

When using tablet, gel, etc. detergents, read the manufacturer's instructions on the detergent package carefully and follow the dosage values. If there is not any instruction on the package, apply the following.

• If the gel detergent thickness is fluidal and your machine does not contain a special liquid

6

detergent cup, put the gel detergent into the main wash detergent compartment during first water intake. If your machine contains a liquid detergent cup, fill the detergent into this cup before starting the programme.

• If the gel detergent thickness is not fluidal or in the shape of capsule liquid tablet, put it directly into the drum before washing.

• Put tablet detergents into the main wash compartment (compartment nr. II) or directly into the drum before washing.

C Tablet detergents may leave residues in the detergent compartment. If you encounter such a case, place the tablet detergent between the laundry, close to the lower part of the drum in future washings.

C Use the tablet or gel detergent without selecting the prewash function.

Using starch

• Add liquid starch, powder starch or the dyestuff into the softener compartment as instructed on the package.

• Do not use softener and starch together in a washing cycle.

• Wipe the inside of the machine with a damp and clean cloth after using starch.

Using bleaches

• Select a programme with prewash and add the bleaching agent at the beginning of the prewash. Do not put detergent in the prewash compartment. As an alternative application,

select a programme with extra rinse and add the bleaching agent while the machine is taking water from the detergent compartment during first rinsing step.

• Do not use bleaching agent and detergent by mixing them.

• Use just a little amount (approx. 50 ml) of bleaching agent and rinse the clothes very well as it causes skin irritation. Do not pour the bleaching agent onto the clothes and do not use it for coloured clothes.

• When using oxygen based bleaches, follow the instructions on the package and select a programme that washes at a lower temperature.

• Oxygen based bleaches can be used together with detergents; however, if its thickness is not the same with the detergent, put the detergent first into the compartment nr. “2” in the detergent drawer and wait until the detergent flows while the machine is taking in water. Add the bleaching agent from the same compartment while the machine is still taking in water.

Using limescale remover

• When required, use limescale removers manufactured specifically for washing machines only.

• Always follow instructions on the package.

	60˚C	cottons or synthetic clothes (shirt,
		nightgown, pajamas, etc.) and lightly
		soiled white linens (underwear, etc.)
	40˚C-	Blended laundry including delicate
	30˚C-	textile (veil curtains, etc.), synthetics and
	Cold	woolens.

2.Select the desired programme with the Programme Selection button.

C Programmes are limited with the highest spin speed appropriate for that particular type of fabric.

C When selecting a programme, always consider the type of fabric, colour, degree of soiling and permissible water temperature.

8EN

C Always select the lowest required temperature. Higher temperature means higher power consumption.

C For further programme details, see "Programme and consumption table".

Main programmes

Depending on the type of fabric, use the following main programmes.

• Cottons

Use this programme for your cotton laundry (such as bed sheets, duvet and pillowcase sets, towels, bathrobes, underwear, etc.). Your laundry will be washed with vigorous washing action for a longer washing cycle.

• Synthetics

Use this programme to wash your synthetic clothes

(shirts, blouses, synthetic/cotton blends, etc.). It washes with a gentle action and has a shorter washing cycle compared to the Cottons programme.

For curtains and tulle, use the Synthetic 40˚C programme with prewash and anti-creasing functions selected. As their meshed texture causes excessive foaming, wash the veils/tulle by putting little amount of detergent into the main wash compartment. Do not put detergent in the prewash compartment.

• Woollens

Use this programme to wash your woolen clothes. Select the appropriate temperature complying with the tags of your clothes. Use appropriate detergents for woolens.

Additional programmes

For special cases, additional programmes are available in the machine.

C Additional programmes may differ according to the model of the machine.

• Cotton Economic

You may wash your normally soiled durable cotton and linen laundry in this programme with the highest energy and water saving compared to all other wash programmes suitable for cottons. Actual water temperature may differ from the declared cycle temperature. Programme duration may automatically be shortened during later stages of the programme if you wash less amount (e.g. ½ capacity or less) of laundry. In this case energy and water consumption

will be further decreased giving you the opportunity for a more economical wash. This feature is available for certain models having remaining time display.

• BabyProtect

Use this programme to wash baby laundry, and the laundry that belongs to allergic persons. Longer heating time and an additional rinsing step provide a higher level of hygiene.

• Delicate

Use this programme to wash your delicate clothes. It washes with a gentle action without any interim spin compared to the Synthetics programme.

Use this programme to wash your woolen/delicate clothes that bear “not machinewashable” tags and for which hand wash is recommended. It washes laundry with a very gentle washing action to not to damage clothes.

• Daily express

Use this programme to wash your lightly soiled cotton clothes in a short time.

9

• Super short express

Use this programme to wash your little amount of lightly soiled cotton clothes in a short time.

• Super

Use this programme to wash your laundry for which you cannot use Cottons 60 °C programme. It gives the same result with the Cottons 60 °C programme by washing for a longer time at 40 °C, thus enabling energy saving.

• Shirts

Use this programme to wash the shirts made of cotton, synthetic and synthetic blended fabrics together.

• Fashioncare

You can use this program to wash your laundry that bear “viscous and viscous blends” labels or which are advised to be washed with delicate programs. It cleans your laundry without causing any deformation to them. E.g.: Blouses, dresses, skirts and etc.

• Sports

Use this programme to wash your garments that are worn for a short time such as sportswear. It is suitable to wash little amount of cotton / synthetic blended garments.

5 Maintenance and cleaning

Service life of the product extends and frequently faced problems decrease if cleaned at regular intervals.

Cleaning the detergent drawer

Clean the detergent drawer at regular intervals (every

4-5 washing cycles) as shown below in order to prevent accumulation of powder detergent in time.

Press the dotted point on the siphon in the softener compartment and pull towards you until the compartment is removed from the machine.

C If more than normal amount of water and softener mixture starts to gather in the softener compartment, the siphon must be cleaned.

Wash the detergent drawer and the siphon with plenty of lukewarm water in a washbasin. Wear protective gloves or use an appropriate brush to avoid touching of the residues in the drawer with your skin when cleaning. Insert the drawer back into its place after cleaning and make sure that it is seated well.

If your detergent drawer is the one indicated in the following figure:

Close the taps. Remove the nuts of the water intake hoses to access the filters on the water intake valves.

Clean them with an appropriate brush. If the filters are too dirty, take them out by means of pliers and clean them. Take out the filters on the flat ends of the water intake hoses together with the gaskets and clean thoroughly under running water. Replace the gaskets and filters carefully in their places and tighten the hose nuts by hand.

Draining remaining water and cleaning the pump filter

The filter system in your machine prevents solid items such as buttons, coins and fabric fibers clogging the pump impeller during discharge of washing water.

Thus, the water will be discharged without any problem and the service life of the pump will extend.

If the machine fails to drain water, the pump filter is clogged. Filter must be cleaned whenever it is

clogged or in every 3 months. Water must be drained off first to clean the pump filter.

In addition, prior to transporting the machine (eg., when moving to another house) and in case of freezing of the water, water may have to be drained completely.

A Foreign substances left in the pump filter may damage your machine or may cause noise problem.

In order to clean the dirty filter and discharge the water:

Unplug the machine to cut off the supply power.

A Temperature of the water inside the machine may rise up to 90 ºC. To avoid burning risk, filter must be cleaned after the water in the machine cools down.

Open the filter cap.

If the filter cap is composed of two pieces, press the tab on the filter cap downwards and pull the piece out towards yourself.

C	Lift the rear part of the siphon to remove it as
	illustrated. After performing the above mentioned
	cleaning procedures, replace the siphon back to
	its seating and push its front section downwards
	to make sure that the locking tab engages.

Cleaning the water intake filters

There is a filter at the end of each water intake valve at the rear of the machine and also at the end of each water intake hose where they are connected to the tap. These filters prevent foreign substances and dirt in the water to enter the washing machine. Filters should be cleaned as they do get dirty.

14

If the filter cap is one piece, pull the cap from both sides at the top to open.

C You can remove the filter cover by slightly pushing downwards with a thin plastic tipped tool, through the gap above the filter cover. Do not use metal tipped tools to remove the cover.

Some of our products have emergency draining hose and some does not have. Follow the steps below to discharge the water.

Discharging the water when the product has an emergency draining hose:

Pull the emergency draining hose out from its seat

Place a large container at the end of the hose. Drain the water into the container by pulling out the plug at

EN

the end of the hose. When the container is full, block the inlet of the hose by replacing the plug. After the container is emptied, repeat the above procedure to drain the water in the machine completely. When draining of water is finished, close the end by the plug again and fix the hose in its place. Turn the pump filter to take it out.

Discharging the water when the product does not have an emergency draining hose:

Place a large container in front of the filter to catch water from the filter. Loosen pump filter

(anticlockwise) until water starts to flow. Fill the flowing water into the container you have placed in front of the filter. Always keep a piece of cloth handy to absorb any spilled water. When the water inside the machine is finished, take out the filter completely by turning it. Clean any residues inside the filter as well as fibers, if any, around the pump impeller region. Install the filter.

A If your product has a water jet feature, be sure to fit the filter into its housing in the pump. Never force the filter while installing it into its housing. Seat the filter into its place completely. Otherwise, water may leak from the filter cap.

If the filter cap is composed of two pieces, close the filter cap by pressing on the tab. If it is one piece, seat the tabs in the lower part into their places first, and then press the upper part to close.

Transportstabilisatoren entfernen

Zum Entfernen der Transportstabilisatoren neigen

Sie die Maschine etwas nach hinten. Entfernen Sie die Stabilisatoren durch Ziehen am Band.

Transportsicherungen entfernen

A Entfernen Sie die Transportsicherungen erst nachdem die Transportstabilisatoren entfernt wurden.

A Die Transportsicherungen (Bolzen) müssen unbedingt entfernt werden, bevor Sie die Maschine benutzen! Andernfalls wird das Gerät beschädigt!

20

1.Lösen Sie sämtliche Bolzen mit einem Schlüssel, bis sie sich frei drehen lassen (C).

2.Entfernen Sie die Transportsicherungen, indem Sie diese vorsichtig herausdrehen.

3.Setzen Sie die Kunststoffabdeckungen

(diese finden Sie in der Tüte mit der Bedienungsanleitung) in die Löcher an der Rückwand ein. (P)

C Bewahren Sie die Transportsicherungen an einem sicheren Ort auf. Sie brauchen sie, wenn Sie die Waschmaschine zukünftig transportieren möchten.

C Transportieren Sie das Gerät niemals ohne korrekt angebrachte Transportsicherungen!

Wasseranschluss

C Die Maschine benötigt zum Arbeiten einen Wasserdruck zwischen 1 und 10 bar (0,1 bis 10 MPa). (In der Praxis bedeutet dies, dass innerhalb einer Minute 10 bis 80 Liter Wasser aus dem voll geöffneten Wasserhahn laufen müssen, damit Ihre Maschine richtig arbeiten kann.) Falls der Wasserdruck höher sein sollte, verwenden Sie ein Druckreduzierventil.

C Wenn Sie ein Gerät mit doppeltem Wasserzulauf mit nur einem Wasserzulauf (Kaltwasser) nutzen möchten,

muss der mitgelieferte Stopfen am Warmwasserzulaufventil installiert werden.

(Dies gilt für Geräte, die mit einem Blindstopfen geliefert werden.)

C Sofern Sie beide Wasserzuläufe nutzen möchten, schließen Sie den Warmwasserzulauf erst an, nachdem Sie die Stopfen/Dichtung-

Kombination aus dem Warmwasserventil entfernt haben. (Dies gilt für Geräte, die mit einem Blindstopfen geliefert werden.)

A Modelle mit einzelnem Wasserzulauf sollten nicht an den Warmwasserhahn angeschlossen werden. Falls Sie dies dennoch versuchen, wird Ihre Wäsche beschädigt – oder das Gerät wechselt in den Sicherheitsmodus und arbeitet nicht.

A Verwenden Sie keine alten oder gebrauchten Wassereinlaufschläuche mit Ihrem neuen Gerät. Diese können zu Verschmutzungen Ihrer Wäsche führen.

1.Schließen Sie die mit der Maschine gelieferten

Spezialschläuche an die Wasserzuläufe des

Gerätes an. Der rote Schlauch (links) dient als Warmwassereinlass (maximal 90 °C), der blaue Schlauch (rechts) als Kaltwassereinlass

(maximal 25 °C).

DE

A Achten Sie bei der Installation Ihres Gerätes darauf, dass Kaltund

Warmwasseranschlüsse korrekt durchgeführt werden. Andernfalls kommt Ihre Wäsche am Ende des Waschvorgangs eventuell heiß aus der Maschine und verschleißt schneller.

2.Ziehen Sie sämtliche Schlauchmuttern mit der Hand an. Ziehen Sie die Muttern niemals mit einer Zange oder ähnlichen Werkzeugen an.

3.Nach dem Anschluss der Schläuche öffnen

Sie die Wasserzuläufe (Hähne) komplett und überzeugen sich davon, dass kein Wasser an den Anschlussstellen austritt. Falls Wasser austreten sollte, drehen Sie den Hahn zu und lösen anschließend die Mutter. Überprüfen Sie die Dichtung und ziehen Sie die Mutter anschließend wieder gut an. Um ein Auslaufen von Wasser und daraus entstehende Wasserschäden zu vermeiden, halten Sie

die Wasserhähne geschlossen, wenn Sie die Maschine nicht benutzen.

Wasserablauf anschließen

•Das Ende des Wasserablaufschlauches muss direkt an den Wasserablauf (Abfluss) in der Wand oder am Waschbecken angeschlossen werden.

A Ansonsten kann es zu Überschwemmungen kommen, falls sich der Schlauch beim Abpumpen des Wassers lösen sollte.

Bei hohen Waschtemperaturen besteht

Verbrühungsgefahr! Damit es nicht zu unangenehmen Situationen kommt und damit

Wasserzu-/-ablauf reibungslos funktionieren, fixieren Sie das Ende des Ablaufschlauches so, dass es sich keinesfalls lösen kann.

•Der Schlauch sollte in einer Höhe von mindestens 40 und maximal 100 cm angeschlossen werden.

•Wenn der Ablaufschlauch zuerst am Boden (bis etwa 40 cm über dem Boden) und danach wieder nach oben verläuft, kann es zu Schwierigkeiten beim Wasserablauf kommen; es kann vorkommen, dass die Wäsche beim

Herausnehmen noch sehr nass ist. Halten

Sie sich deshalb an die in der Abbildung angegebenen Höhen.

21

•Damit kein verschmutztes Wasser in die Maschine zurücklaufen kann und um der

Maschine das Abpumpen zu erleichtern, darf das Ende des Schlauches nur maximal 15 cm tief in den Ablauf eingeführt werden. Falls das

Schlauchende zu lang sein sollte, schneiden Sie ein Stück ab.

•Das Schlauchende sollte nicht gebogen werden, es sollte nicht darauf getreten werden und es darf nicht zwischen Ablauf und Maschine eingeklemmt werden.

•Falls der Schlauch zu kurz sein sollte, können Sie einen Original-Verlängerungsschlauch verwenden. Die Gesamtlänge des Schlauches ab Austrittspunkt aus der Maschine darf 3,2 m nicht überschreiten. Um ein Auslaufen von Wasser zu vermeiden, müssen Ablaufschlauch und Verlängerungsschlauch mit einer passenden Schelle gesichert werden, damit sich die Verbindung nicht lösen und kein

Wasser austreten kann.

Füße einstellen

A Damit Ihre Maschine leise und vibrationsfrei arbeiten kann, muss sie absolut gerade und ausbalanciert stehen. Sie balancieren die Maschine aus, indem Sie die Füße

entsprechend einstellen. Sollte das Gerät nicht fest und gerade stehen, kann es sich im Betrieb bewegen, stark vibrieren und gegen andere

Gegenstände oder Möbelstücke stoßen.

1.Lösen Sie die Kontermuttern an den Füßen von Hand.

2.Stellen Sie die Füße so ein, dass das Gerät stabil und absolut gerade steht.

3.Ziehen Sie die Kontermuttern anschließend mit der Hand an.

A Lösen Sie die Kontermuttern grundsätzlich nur mit den Händen, benutzen Sie keinerlei Werkzeuge dafür. Andernfalls kann es zu

Beschädigungen kommen.

Elektrischer Anschluss

Schließen Sie das Gerät an eine

Schutzkontaktsteckdose an, die mit einer ausreichend dimensionierten Sicherung abgesichert wurde – schauen Sie sich dazu die Tabelle „Technische Daten“ an. Wir haften nicht für jegliche Schäden, die durch mangelhafte, nicht den örtlichen Vorschriften entsprechende, Erdung entstehen.

•Der Anschluss muss gemäß örtlichen Vorschriften erfolgen.

•Der Netzstecker muss nach der Installation frei zugänglich bleiben.

•Angaben zu Spannung und erforderlicher

Absicherung durch Sicherung oder Unterbrecher finden Sie im Abschnitt

„Technische Daten“. Falls Ihre

Stromversorgung mit einer geringeren als einer

16 A-Sicherung ausgestattet ist, lassen Sie eine 16 A-Sicherung durch einen qualifizierten

Elektriker installieren.

•Die angegebene Spannung muss mit Ihrer Netzspannung übereinstimmen.

•Schließen Sie das Gerät nicht über Verlängerungskabel oder Mehrfachsteckdosen an.

B Beschädigte Netzkabel müssen durch den autorisierten Kundendienst ersetzt werden.

Erste Inbetriebnahme

Bevor Sie Ihr neues Gerät zum ersten Mal benutzen, machen Sie sich unbedingt mit den

Abschnitten „Wichtige Hinweise zu Ihrer Sicherheit“ und „Installation/Aufstellung“ vertraut.

Bereiten Sie die Maschine entsprechend vor, indem Sie zuerst das Trommelreinigung-Programm ausführen. Sofern Ihre Maschine nicht mit einem

Trommelsreinigungsprogramm ausgestattet ist, wählen Sie das Baumwolle 90-Programm und dazu die Zusatzfunktionen „Zusätzliches Wasser“ oder „Extraspülen“. Bevor Sie das Programm starten, geben Sie maximal 100 g Entkalkungspulver

in das Hauptwaschmittelfach (Fach II). Bei

Entkalkungsmitteln in Tablettenform geben Sie eine einzelne Tablette in das Fach II. Reinigen Sie die Gummidichtung im Türbereich mit einem sauberen Lappen, nachdem das Programm durchgelaufen ist.

C Verwenden Sie nur für Waschmaschinen geeignete Kalkentferner.

C Eventuell befindet sich noch etwas Wasser in der Trommel. Dies liegt daran, dass das Gerät vor der Auslieferung noch einmal gründlich geprüft wurde. Ihrer Maschine schadet dies nicht.

Verpackungsmaterialien entsorgen

Verpackungsmaterialien können eine Gefahr für Kinder darstellen. Lagern Sie sämtliche

Verpackungsmaterialien an einem sicheren Ort und außerhalb der Reichweite von Kindern.

Das Verpackungsmaterial Ihres Gerätes wurde aus recyclingfähigen Rohstoffen hergestellt.

Achten Sie auf eine ordnungsgemäße, getrennte

Entsorgung der Materialien. Entsorgen Sie das

Verpackungsmaterial nicht mit dem normalen Hausmüll.

Gerät transportieren

Ziehen Sie grundsätzlich den Netzstecker, bevor Sie das Gerät transportieren oder verrücken. Trennen Sie Wasserablauf und Wasserzulauf (Hahn zuvor schließen). Lassen Sie restliches Wasser komplett aus dem Gerät ab – siehe„Restliches

Wasser ablaufen lassen und Pumpenfilter reinigen“. Bringen Sie die Transportsicherungen (Bolzen) wieder an; schauen Sie sich dazu den Abschnitt „Transportsicherungen entfernen“ an, gehen Sie in umgekehrter Reihenfolge vor.

C Transportieren Sie das Gerät niemals ohne korrekt angebrachte Transportsicherungen!

Altgeräteentsorgung

Entsorgen Sie Ihre Altgeräte auf umweltfreundliche

Weise.

Ihr Händler und sowie Sammelstellen vor Ort informieren Sie gerne über die richtige Entsorgung Ihres Gerätes.

Damit Kinder nicht in Gefahr gebracht werden, schneiden Sie das Netzkabel ab und machen die

Türverriegelung unbrauchbar, bevor Sie das Gerät entsorgen.

Tipps zum Energiesparen

Die folgenden Hinweise helfen Ihnen, Ihr neues

Gerät ökologisch sinnvoll und energiesparend einzusetzen.

•Nutzen Sie möglichst die maximale Beladung des jeweiligen Programms – dabei jedoch nicht überladen. Schauen Sie sich die „Programmund Verbrauchstabelle“ an.

•Beachten Sie grundsätzlich die Hinweise auf den Waschmittelpackungen.

•Waschen Sie leicht verschmutzte Wäsche bei niedrigen Temperaturen.

•Nutzen Sie schnelle Programme, wenn Sie nur geringe Mengen leicht verschmutzter Wäsche waschen.

•Verzichten Sie bei nur leicht verschmutzter Wäsche auf Vorwäsche und hohe

Temperaturen.

•Wenn Sie Ihre Wäsche in einem

Wäschetrockner trocknen möchten, wählen Sie beim Waschen die höchstmögliche Schleudergeschwindigkeit.

•Verwenden Sie nicht mehr Waschmittel als auf der Waschmittelverpackung angegeben.

Wäsche sortieren

•Sortieren Sie die Wäsche nach Textilientyp, Farbe, Verschmutzungsgrad und zulässiger

Waschtemperatur.

•Halten Sie sich grundsätzlich an die Angaben auf den Pflegeetiketten.

Wäsche vorbereiten

•Wäsche mit Metallteilen wie Büstenhalter, Gürtelschnallen und Metallknöpfe beschädigen die Maschine. Entfernen Sie die Metallteile oder waschen Sie die Textilien in einem Wäschebeutel oder einem Kissenbezug.

•Leeren Sie sämtliche Taschen komplett aus und entfernen Sie Münzen, Kugelschreiber, Büroklammern, Papiertaschentücher und ähnliche Dinge, bevor Sie die Wäsche in die Maschine geben. Drehen Sie Taschen auf links, entfernen Sie Fusseln. Fremdkörper können das Gerät beschädigen und zu lauten

Betriebsgeräuschen führen.

•Geben Sie sehr kleine Textilien wie Kinderund Nylonstrümpfe in einen Wäschebeutel oder

Kissenbezug.

•Drücken Sie Vorhänge nicht zusammen, wenn Sie diese in die Maschine geben. Bei

Vorhängen entfernen Sie zuvor sämtliche

Applikationen und sonstige nicht textile Teile.

•Schließen Sie Reißverschlüsse, nähen Sie lose Knöpfe an und reparieren Sie Risse und sonstige Defekte.

•Waschen Sie Textilien, die mit „maschinenwaschbar“ oder „Handwäsche“ gekennzeichnet sind, ausschließlich mit dem passenden Waschprogramm.

•Waschen Sie bunte und weiße Textilien nicht zusammen. Neue, intensiv gefärbte Baumwollsachen (z. B. schwarze Jeans)

können beim Waschen stark abfärben.

Waschen Sie solche Wäschestücke grundsätzlich separat.

•Hartnäckige Verschmutzungen müssen vor dem Waschen richtig behandelt werden.

Fragen Sie im Zweifelsfall bei einer chemischen

Reinigung nach.

•Verwenden Sie ausschließlich Färbemittel oder Mittel zur Kalkentfernung, die sich ausdrücklich zur Verwendung in der Waschmaschine eignen. Beachten Sie dabei immer die

Hinweise auf der Verpackung.

•Waschen Sie Hosen und empfindliche Kleidungsstücke „auf links“, also mit der Innenseite nach außen.

•Legen Sie Wäschestücke aus Angorawolle vor dem Waschen ein paar Stunden in das

Gefrierfach Ihres Kühlschranks. Dadurch bilden sich weniger Knötchen im Material.

•Wäsche, die mit Substanzen wie Mehl, Kalk, Milchpulver oder ähnlichen Dingen verunreinigt ist, muss zuvor gründlich ausgeschüttelt werden, bevor sie in die Maschine gegeben wird. Andernfalls können sich stauboder pulverförmige Substanzen innerhalb der

Maschine ablagern und im Laufe der Zeit

Schäden verursachen.

Die richtige Wäschemenge

Die maximale Ladungskapazität (Wäschemenge) hängt vom Textilientyp, dem Verschmutzungsgrad und dem gewünschten Waschprogramm ab.

Die Maschine reguliert die Wassermenge automatisch je nach Wäschevolumen.

A Halten Sie sich an die Hinweise in der „Programmund Verbrauchstabelle“. Bei

Überlastung nimmt die Waschleistung ab. Zusätzlich kann es zu starker Geräuschentwicklung und zu Vibrationen kommen.

Wäsche in die Maschine geben

•Öffnen Sie die Waschmaschinentür.

•Legen Sie die Wäschestücke lose in die

Maschine.

•Drücken Sie die Waschmaschinentür zu, bis sie hörbar einrastet. Vergewissern Sie sich, dass nichts in der Tür eingeklemmt wurde.

C Bei laufender Maschine wird die Gerätetür gesperrt. Die Tür kann erst eine Weile nach dem Abschluss des Programms geöffnet werden.

A Falls die Wäsche falsch (also schlecht verteilt) in die Maschine gegeben wird, kann es zu starken Betriebsgeräuschen und zu

Vibrationen kommen.
