drainage system, ensure the latter is equipped

with a vent to avoid simultaneous loading and

draining of water (siphoning effect).

Electrical connections must be carried out by a



qualified technician in compliance with the

manufacturers instructions and the current

standard safety regulations.

The technical data (voltage, power and fuses) are



appliance.

The appliance must be connected exclusively by



means of a socket with an earth connection in

accordance with current regulations. The

appliance must be earthed by law. The

in the factory checks.

Turn on the tap.

Close the drum flaps.

Pour a small amount of detergent (about 30 ml) into the detergent dispenser .

Select a short programme and low spin speed (see programme chart).

Switch on the appliance.

PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL

RECOMMENDATIONS

1.Packing

The packaging materials are 100% recyclable and



bear the recycling symbol . Adhere to local

regulations when disposing of packaging material.

2.Energy saving tips

Achieve the best use of energy, water, detergent



and time by using the recommended maximum

load size.

Do not exceed the detergent dosages indicated



in the manufacturers instructions.

The Eco Ball - a special system in the outlet - will



prevent detergent loss from the drum to avoid

detergent loss into the environment.

Use Prewash for heavily soiled laundry only!



Save detergent, time, water and energy

consumption by not selecting Prewash for

slight to normally soiled laundry.

Pretreat stains with stain remover or soak dried



in stains in water before washing to reduce the

necessity of a hot wash program.

Save energy by using a 60° C instead of a 90° C



wash programme or a 40° C instead of a 60° C

wash programme.

Save energy and time by selecting a high spin



speed to reduce the water content in laundry

before using a tumble dryer (for machines with

adjustable spin speed).

3.Disposing of packaging and old appliances

The washing machine is built from reusable



materials. The washing machine must be

disposed of in compliance with current local

waste disposal regulations.

Before scrapping old machine, cut of the power cable



so that the washing machine cannot be connected to

the mains.
