|
|
|
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 |

Saving tips
ØAlways fill the appliance with the maximum amount of laundry for the relevant programme.
ØWash normally soiled laundry without a prewash.
ØAutomatic switch-off: If the appliance is not operated for a
relatively long period of time, it switches itself off automatically before the programme start and after the programme end in order to save energy. To switch the washing machine back on again, turn the programme selector to Aus/O (Off) and then back to the desired programme.
ØIf the laundry is subsequently dried in a tumble dryer, select
the spin speed according to the tumble dryer manufacturer's instructions.
Information about the EU regulation
In accordance with regulation (EU) 1015/2010, further product information is provided below. The background to this is the energy-saving regulations that all appliances sold in the EU must comply with. A sample energy label is provided with explanations on a later page in these instructions. The energy label for your appliance can be found on the side or front of the appliance. The energy label contains an overview of the specific values of your appliance.

Product information
Ø Efficiency test programmes for cotton fabrics
Programmes that are suitable for cleaning normally soiled cotton fabrics and are the most efficient in terms of their combined energy and water consumption are contained in the attached programme table.
Programme setting for testing and energy labelling in accordance with Directive 2010/30/EU with cold water (15 °C). The programme temperature information is based on the temperature stated on the care label for the fabrics. The actual washing temperature may deviate from the stated programme temperature for energy-saving reasons.
Ø Residual moisture in the laundry
The spin efficiency class of your appliance can be seen on the energy label. The percentage of residual moisture for the spin efficiency class in question can be seen in the following table.
Spin efficiency class |
Residual moisture D in % |
A (highest efficiency) |
D < 45 |
|
|
B |
45 ≤ D < 54 |
|
|
C |
54 ≤ D < 63 |
