Environmental protection and saving energy en

Environmental protection and saving energy

Environmental protection and saving energy
Help protect the environment by us­ing your appliance in a way that con­serves resources and by disposing of reusable materials properly.

Disposing of packaging

The packaging materials are environ­mentally compatible and can be re­cycled.
Sort the individual components by type and dispose of them separ­ately.
Information about current disposal methods are available from your specialist dealer or local authority.

Saving energy

If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use less electricity and less water.

The programme will adjust to a lower load and consumption will be reduced. →"Additional functions", Page21

AquaSensor

1
The AquaSensor is an optical meas­uring device (light barrier) which measures the turbidity of the washing water. You can save water with the AquaSensor. Use of the AquaSensor depends on the programme. If the soiling level is low, the washing water is used in the next wash cycle, so reducing water consumption by 3-6 litres. If the soil­ing level is is greater, the washing water is drained off and replaced with fresh water. In the automatic pro­grammes the temperature and run­ning time are additionally adjusted to the level of soiling.

Installation and connection

Installation and connec­tion
To ensure proper operation, connect the appliance to the power and water supply correctly. Observe the spe­cified criteria and the installation in­structions.
