Hints and Tips for Eco-Friendly Washing

The shipping package has protected your new washing machine on its way to your home. All materials are ecologically harmless and recyclable. Please contribute to a better environment by disposing of packaging materials in an environmentally conscious manner.

Please ask your dealer or inquire at your local authorities about current means of disposal.

Risk of choking!

Do not let children play with packaging and associated parts.

Risk of choking on plastic lm and collapsible boxes.

Old appliances are not worthless rubbish. Environment-conscious recycling can reclaim valuable new materials.

Danger of death!

Unplug mains plug on redundant appliances. Cut off mains cable and discard with mains plug.

Destroy the lock on the door. To prevent playing children from becoming trapped and endangered, ensure that the door locking mechanism is disabled.

If you wish to discard this product, please contact your local authorities or dealer and ask for the correct method of disposal.

■

Keep to the load limit of each program.

■

Your washing machine automatically adjusts the operating time and amount of water of each program depending on the load.

■

You only need to use the PREWASH or INTENSIVE options if your laundry is heavily soiled.

■

Add detergent according to the degree of soiling, laundry size and water hardness, and follow the detergent manufacturer’s instructions.

■

Using the Cotton program with water temperature at 60ºC setting instead of the Cotton program with water temperature at 90ºC will save energy, and will remove ordinary stains. Better still, in areas where the temperature is high, you can remove ordinary stains without using hot water by setting ‘Cold’ programs for more ecologically friendly operation.

Use the amount of detergent recommended on the detergent package. The type and amount of detergent depends on the type of fabric, load size, degree of soiling and hardness of the water used. Use less detergent if :

- you wash a small load.

- the laundry is slightly soiled.

■

Too much detergent can result in excess foam formation which reduces rinse efciency or may cause a water leak.

■

Depending on the detergent brand, detergent may remain undissolved when the water pressure is low, or when the water temperature is low.

ÆPage 18 : Care and Maintenance (Cleaning the detergent dispenser).
