ATTENTION!
¡The functionality of the appliance may be impaired if you use the wrong quantity of fabric softener, detergent, care product or cleaning agent.
Follow the dosage recommendations from the manufacturer.
¡Exceeding the maximum load capacity impairs the function of the appliance.
Observe the maximum load capacity → Page 22 for each programme and do not exceed it.

Before starting up the appliance, remove the transit bolts completely and keep them in a safe place.
Before transport, fit the transit bolts fully in order to prevent damage in transit.
¡If the water pressure is too high or too low, this may impair functioning of the appliance.
Make sure that the water pressure in the water supply system is min. 100 kPa (1 bar) and max. 1000 kPa (10 bar).
If the water pressure exceeds the maximum value specified, a pressure-reducing valve must be installed between the drinking water connection and the hose set of the appliance.
Preventing material damage en

en Installation and connection
Save energy and conserve resources
If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use less electricity and less water.
Do not exceed the programme's maximum load capacity → Page 22.
A higher load capacity extends the programme duration and increases energy consumption.
Use the programme's maximum load capacity → Page 22.
The energy and resource consumption is the most efficient.
Add → Page 30 detergent based on the laundry's degree of soiling.
For light to normal soiling, a smaller amount of detergent is sufficient. Observe the dosage recommendation from the detergent manufacturer.
Reduce the washing temperature for lightly and normally soiled laundry.
At low temperatures, the appliance consumes less energy. For light to normal soiling, lower temperatures than indicated on the care label are also sufficient.
Set the maximum spin speed if you want to dry the laundry in a tumble dryer afterwards.
The drier the laundry, the shorter the programme duration when drying which, in turn, reduces energy consumption.
Wash the laundry without prewash.
Washing with prewash increases the programme duration and increases energy and water consumption.
The appliance has a continuous automatic load adjustment function.
Depending on the type of fabric and load capacity, the continuous automatic load adjustment function optimally adjusts the water consumption and programme duration.
Energy saving mode
If you do not use the appliance for an extended period, it automatically switches to energy-saving mode. All displays go out and Start / Reload flashes.
Energy-saving mode ends when you use the appliance again, e.g. if you open or close the door.
