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 being
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 economically friendly
operation.

20 21

3WPL090501

External cleaning

Clean the surface of the washing machine with a soft cloth. Do not use

solvents such as alcohol or benzine.

■

Descaling

The water in some areas is hard and contains lime, so it is

recommended to use a water softening agent periodically, or use a
descaler according to the descaler manufacturer' instructions. Do this
separately from any laundry washing.

■

After each wash

Leave the door open for a while to dry the drum. This helps to prevent

the growth of mold and stagnant smells forming inside the washing
machine.

■

Maintenance wash

It is recommended to run the Tub Clean program regularly. Using this

program keeps the drum clean and prevents the growth of mold.
