Tips for environmental protection

To save water, energy and to help protect the environment, we recommend that you follow these tips:

Normally soiled laundry may be washed without prewashing in order to save detergent, water and time (the environment is protected too!).

Use the energy saving programme (Economy) when washing normally soiled garments.

The machine works more economically if it is fully loaded (for both washing and drying cycles).

When small loads are washed, use only half to two thirds of the recommended amount of detergent.

8

The machine will consume less energy if the laundry is adequately spun before being dried.

With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited soiling can be removed; the laundry can then be washed at a lower temperature.

Main features of your washer-dryer

Programme and temperature setting using the programme selector.

Stain programme for effectively treating stained washing.

Energy saving programme (Economy) for normally soiled cotton items.

Speed for the final spin can be reduced to 1200, 900 or 700 rpm.

RINSE HOLD: the laundry is left immersed in the final rinse water to prevent creasing.

DELAY TIMER (delayed start): programme start can be delayed by 30 minutes to 23 hours (e.g. to times with a more economical power rate).

Programme progress display showing the programme steps selected and the programme phase which is running.

Because of its gentle washing action, the special wool cycle washes your garments with extreme care.

The drying programmes will enable you to have dry and soft laundry in a short time.

3-compartment drawer for detergent and fabric softener.

Unbalance detection device: to prevent vibration during spinning.
