Your New Washing Machine

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

●

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
machine remains stable when spinning.

Ecological hints

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

●

Adjust the quantity of detergent according to the
hardness of your water supply, the amount of
laundry and the degree of soiling.

●

A programme without prewash is sufficient for
normally soiled laundry.

●

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, so saving energy.

●

Select the “quick” option for lightly soiled laundry.

In the interest
of the environment

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".
