Safety Instructions
Protection of the environment/Hints and tips
Your washing machine uses water, energy
and detergent efficiently. This protects our
environment and reduces your household
costs.
To use your washing machine in an efficient
and environmentally friendly manner:
•
Do not exceed recommended loads.
Cottons and Coloureds ....................5.0 kg
Easy Care............................................2.5 kg
Delicates/Silk......................................1.0 kg
Woollens..............................................1.5 kg
With smaller amounts of laundry, the load
adjust reduces the water and energy
consumption.
•
Instead of ”Cottons 90°C”, select the
”60°C” programme + the ”Intensive”*
pushbutton. The extended washing time of
this 60°C programme achieves a cleaning
result comparable to that of the 90°C
programme, but uses considerably less
energy.
•
Do not use Prewash* for lightly to normally
soiled washing.
•
Use detergent according to Pollution
index, amount of laundry and water
hardness and follow the manufacturer's
directions.
* Depending upon the model.
Intended use
Your washing machine is intended
•
strictly for household use
•
for washing machine washable fabrics in
water
•
for use with cold drinking water and
standard commercial washing and
cleaning products that are suitable for use
in washing machines.

correct for surface unevenness. Level and
stabilise the machine in the following
manner:
