Intended use
This washing machine complies with the relevant safety regulations.
Hazard warnings
– exclusively for domestic use,
– for machine-washable fabrics and hand-washable wool in detergent
solution.
– for operation with cold drinking water and commercially-available
detergents and care products that are suitable for use in washing
machines.
– Risk of electric shock.
– Only pull on the mains plug, never on the cable!
– Do not unplug or plug in the appliance to the mains if your hands
are wet.
– Risk of suffocation. Keep packaging, film and packaging parts out of
the reach of children.
– Danger of death. Pull out the mains plug on worn-out appliances. Cut
through the mains cable and discard this along with the plug. Destroy
the lock on the washing machine door. This will prevent children from
locking themselves in, thereby putting their lives at risk.
– Risk of poisoning. Keep detergents and care products out of the
reach of children.

Environmental protection /
conservation tips
– Separate the various waste materials of the packaging and take them
to the nearest collection point.
– Always fill the appliance with the maximum amount of laundry for each
programme.
– Wash normally soiled laundry without a prewash.
–Instead of Resistentes/Algod. (Cottons) 90 °C, choose the programme
Resistentes/Algod. (Cottons) 60 °C Color eco/cor
This delivers a comparable cleaning result with significantly lower
energy consumption.
– Measure the detergent according to the manufacturer's instructions
and in line with the local water hardness.
– If the laundry is subsequently dried in a tumble drier, select the spin
speed according to the tumble drier manufacturer's instructions

Compartment I : Detergent for prewash
Compartment II : Detergent for main wash.
Compartment i : Liquid additives, such as starch or fabric softener.
Additives are automatically dispensed during the final rinse cycle.
– Do not exceed the maximum capacity, otherwise compartment i may
be emptied too early.
– Dilute viscous additives with water before adding them to the detergent
drawer compartment to prevent blockages.

Pull out the detergent drawer as far as it goes.
Press on the blue zone labelled PUSH and take out the detergent
drawer completely page 16.
