This appliance is labelled in accordance with European Directive 2012/19/EU concerning used electrical and electronic appliances (waste electrical and electronic equipment - WEEE).

The guideline determines the framework for the return and recycling of used appliances as applicable throughout the EU.

Tips on economical use

■Always utilise the maximum amount of washing for the particular programme.

Overview of programmes ~ Supplementary sheet for the operating and installation instructions.

■Wash normally soiled laundry without prewash.

■For light and normal soiling in laundry, you can save energy and detergent. ~ Page 13

■Dosing the detergent using the intelligent dosing system (i-DOS) helps to save both detergent and water.

■The selectable temperatures apply to the care labels on the textiles. The temperatures in the machine may deviate from this so that you get the optimum mix of energy-saving and washing results.

■Information on energy and water consumption:

6

The displays provide information about the relative level of energy and water consumption in the selected programmes.

The more display segments are visible, the higher the respective consumption.

This enables you to compare the consumption levels of the different programmes when choosing your programme settings and decide on an energyand water-saving programme setting.
