Your New Washing Machine

Your new washing machine meets all modern requirements for effective treatment of laundry
with low water, energy and detergent consumption.

Even small loads are washed “economically” because the amount of water used is regulated
automatically according to the load and type of fabric.

●

Automatic cooling of the wash water to 60°C

before draining, with the 95°C programme. This
reduces thermal shock to fabrics, helping to prevent
creasing.

●

The special wool programme with its new delicate
wash system treats your woollens with extreme care.

●

The balance control device ensures that the
washing machine remains stable when spinning.

Ecological hints

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

●

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

●

The machine works more economically if it is fully
loaded.

●

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

●

Measure out detergent according to the water
hardness, the degree of soiling and the quantity of
laundry being washed.

In the interest of the
environment

●

Materials marked with the symbol are
recyclable.

●

Check with your local Council or Environmental
Health Office to see if there are facilities in your area
for re-cycling this appliance.

●

When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the
power supply cable and make the door lock device
unusable to prevent young children from being
trapped inside.

●

Help to keep your country tidy - use authorised
disposal sites for your old appliance.

The symbol on the product or on its packaging
indicates that this product may not be treated as
household waste. Instead it shall be handed over to
the applicable collection point for the recycling of
electrical and electronic equipment. By ensuring this
product is disposed of correctly, you will help
prevent potential negative consequences for the
environment and human health, which could
otherwise be caused by inappropriate waste handling
of this product. For more detailed information about
recycling of this product, please contact your local
city office, your household waste disposal service or
the shop where you purchased the product.

How do we help to protect the environment?
We use recycled paper!

Important

Your machine is fitted with a balance control device, which ensures the machine is stable during the spin.
If the wash load appears not to have been spun sufficiently at the end of the wash cycle, because it is not evenly
distributed in the drum, the balance control device may have operated. It will therefore be necessary to redistribute the
wash load manually and select a spin programme. For more detailed information see the section headed “Something
Not Working”.
