Environmental protection/
Tips for energy saving

- We recommend HE (High efficiency) detergents
because they are particularly designed to deliver

optimum performance from your front-loading washer.
Not using HE detergent could cause problems such as
oversudsing extended cycle periods, or a decrease in

wash performance.

- Utilize the maximum amount of laundry for the appropriate
cycle. : :

- Avoid using too much detergent_

- Add detergent according to manufacturer's instruction and
water hardness,

- Ifthe laundry witl be dried in a dryer afterwards, select spin
speed according to the dryer manufacturer's instructions.

Z_- Never leave children unattended by the washing

machine!

- Keep children away from shipping carton and
packaging components. Danger of suffocation
from plastic foil and folding cartons

- Keep pets away from the washing machine!
