en Energy-saving tips
:Warning
Risk of injury/material damage/damage to the appliance!
The use of spare parts and
accessories supplied by other
brands is dangerous and may
result in injury, material damage
or damage to the appliance.
For safety reasons, use
genuine spare parts and
accessories only.
Caution!
Material damage/damage to
the appliance
Cleaning agents and agents for
pretreating laundry (e.g. stain
removers, prewash sprays, etc.)
may cause damage if they
come into contact with the
surfaces of the appliance.
Therefore please note:
■ Do not allow these agents to
come into contact with the
surfaces of the appliance.
■ Clean the appliance with
nothing but water and a soft,
damp cloth.
■ Remove any detergent,
spray or other residues
immediately.
7 Energy-saving tips
Energy-saving tips
■ Spin the laundry before drying. The
drier the laundry, the shorter the
programme will be, in turn reducing
energy consumption.
■ Load the appliance with the
maximum loads permitted for the
programmes.
Note: If the maximum load is
exceeded, this extends the programme
duration and increases energy
consumption.
■ Operate the appliance in a ventilated
room and make sure that the air inlet
on the appliance is unobstructed so
that air exchange can take place
unhindered.
■ Regularly remove the fluff from the
appliance. If there is fluff in the
appliance, this extends the
programme duration and increases
energy consumption.
■ If you do not perform any actions on
the appliance for an extended period
before the programme starts or once
the programme has ended, the
appliance will automatically switch to
energy-saving mode. The display
and indicator lights go out after a
few minutes and A (Start/Reload)
flashes. To end energy-saving mode,
all you need to do is perform an
action on the appliance, such as
opening and closing the door.
