Safety Instructions

Intended use

Introducing your washing machine

•for household use only

•for washing machine-washable fabrics in a detergent and water solution

•operation with cold tap water and commercially available detergents and cleaning products which are suitable for use in washing machines.

Safety Instructions

Do not leave children unsupervised near the washing machine.

Keep pets away from the washing machine. Do not insert/pull out the mains plug with wet hands.

Do not pull out the mains plug by tugging on the cable.

Caution when draining hot water.

Do not climb onto the washing machine.

Observe the notes on installation.

Danger of suffocation!

Keep children away from shipping carton and packaging components. Danger of suffocation from folding cartons and plastic film.

Danger of fatal injury!

On out-of-service appliances, unplug mains plug. Cut off power chord and discard with mains plug. Destroy the lock on the appliance cover. This will prevent children from locking themselves in and suffocating.

Protection of the environment/Hints and tips

Your washing machine uses water, energy and detergent efficiently.This protects our environment and reduces your household costs.

To use your washing machine in an efficient and environmentally friendly manner:

• Do not exceed maximum load.
Cottons and coloureds	5.0 kg
Easy-Care	2.5 kg
Delicates/Silk	1.0 kg
Woollens	1.5 kg

With smaller amounts of laundry, the load adjust reduces the water and energy consumption.

•Where possible, use the ”60°C” + ”Intensive Stains” programme instead of the ”Cottons+Linens 90°C” programme. The extended washing time of this 60°C programme achieves a cleaning result comparable to that of the 90°C programme, but uses considerably less energy.

•Do not use Prewash* for lightly to normally soiled washing.

•Add detergent according to the degree of soiling, amount of laundry and water hardness, and observe the detergent manufacturer's instructions.

* Depending upon the model.

Packaging and discarded appliances

Environmentally friendly disposal • Dispose of packaging in an environmentally friendly manner.

• This appliance meets European guideline 2002/96/EG for discarded electrical and

electronic appliances (waste electrical and electronic equipment - WEEE).

• The guideline provides an EU wide valid framework for recycling of discarded appliances. .
