Preventing material damage en

Preventing material damage

Preventing material dam­age
Preventing material damage
Follow these instructions to avoid ma­terial damage and damage to the ap­pliance.
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 ca-
pacity impairs the function of the appliance.
Observe the "maximum load ca­pacity" →Page27 for each programme and do not exceed it.
¡ The appliance is secured for trans-
portation using transit bolts. Transit bolts which have not been re­moved may result in material dam­age and damage to the appliance.
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.
¡ Material damage may be caused if
the water inlet hose is connected incorrectly.
Tighten the screw connections on the water inlet until they are hand-tight.
Ideally, connect the water inlet hose directly to the water tap, without any additional connect­ing elements such as adapters, extensions, valves or similar.
Make sure that the valve hous­ing for the water inlet hose does not come into contact with its surroundings and is not subjec­ted to any external forces.
Ensure that the inner diameter of the water tap is at least 17 mm.
Make sure that the length of the thread on the connection to the water tap is at least 10 mm.
¡ If the water pressure is too high or
too low, the appliance may not be able to operate properly.
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.
Do not connect the appliance to the mixer tap of an unpressur­ised hot-water boiler.
¡ Modified or damaged water hoses
may result in material damage and damage to the appliance.
Never kink, crush, modify or cut through water hoses.
Only use the water hoses sup­plied with the appliance or genu­ine spare hoses.
Never re-use water hoses that have been used before.
¡ Operating the appliance using wa-
ter that is dirty or too hot may cause material damage.
Only operate the appliance with cold mains water.
¡ Unsuitable cleaning products may
damage the surfaces of the appli­ance.
Do not use harsh or abrasive detergents.
11
en Environmental protection and saving energy
Do not use cleaning products with a high alcohol content.
Do not use hard scouring pads or cleaning sponges.
Clean the appliance with nothing but water and a soft, damp cloth.
Remove all detergent residue, spray residue or other residues immediately if they come into contact with the appliance.

Environmental protection and saving energy

Environmental protection and saving energy
Environmental protection and saving energy
Help protect the environment by us­ing your appliance in a way that con­serves resources and by disposing of reusable materials properly.

Disposing of packaging

The packaging materials are environ­mentally compatible and can be re­cycled.
Sort the individual components by type and dispose of them separ­ately.
Information about current disposal methods are available from your specialist dealer or local authority.
Use the economy programme set­tings.
If you adjust the programme set­tings for a programme, the display shows the expected consumption.
"Add " →Page37 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. A higher spin speed reduces the residual moisture in the laundry and increases the volume of the spin noise.
Save energy and conserve re­sources
If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use less electricity and less water.
Choose programmes with low tem­peratures and longer wash times and use "maximum load capacity" →Page27.
Energy consumption and water consumption is most efficient.
12
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.
Installation and connection en
The appliance comes with an Aqua­Sensor.
During the rinse cycle, the Aqua­Sensor checks the degree of tur­bidity of the rinsing water, and ad­justs the duration and number of rinse cycles accordingly.

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 ⁠ flashes. Energy-saving mode ends when you use the appliance again, e.g. if you open or close the door. If you do not use the appliance for an extended period, the appliance switches off automatically.
