Notes on the removal and disposal of packaging

Removal and disposal of packaging material for a new appliance

!Remove and dispose of packaging in accordance with current legislation.

!Packaging material is not a toy.

Reprocessing and reusing materials saves raw materials and reduces waste. All packaging material used is environmentally friendly and can be recycled or reused. The cardboard packaging consists of 80% to 100% recycled paper. The transparent protective film is polyethylene (PE), the fastening bands are polypropylene (PP) and the chlorofluorocarbon-free (CFC) moulded pieces are polystyrene foam (PS). These materials are made of pure hydrocarbons and can be recycled.

Disposal of an old appliance

!The old appliance must be made unusable before it is disposed of:

Disconnect from the mains power supply. Cut off the connecting cable and remove it together with the mains plug. Remove the door locks and fastenings or make them unusable so that children cannot shut themselves inside and suffocate.

Worn-out appliances contain valuable materials that can be recovered, if the appliance is taken to an official recyclable waste recovery centre (a public tip or recycling centre, for example). Actively contribute to the protection of the environment by ensuring that your old appliance is disposed of in a way that respects the environment.

Protecting the environment / Hints on saving energy

mThe most economical and environmentally friendly way to use the machine is always to wash the maximum amount of laundry:

Cottons/coloureds

(hard-wearing fabrics)	4.50 kg / 9.9 lb
Synthetics	2.25 kg / 5.0 lb
Delicates and woollens	2.00 kg / 4.4 lb

mHow to save energy

The variable capacity automatic system reduces the amount of water and energy consumed accordingly if the amount of laundry loaded into the machine is small. Select the «Stains / Intensive» 60º C programme instead of «Cotton / Coloureds 90º C (hard-wearing fabrics). The program uses the longest wash cycle to reduce energy consumption whilst achieving the same results as washing at 90º C.

mHow to save water, energy and detergent: Omit the prewash programme for lightly or normally soiled laundry.

mHow to save energy and time:

Select the short programme suitable for the fabric if items are lightly soiled.

mHow to save detergent:

Measure the detergent according to the water hardness, degree of soiling and amount of laundry, and follow the instructions on the detergent package.

Programme and temperature selectors

The programme selector is used to select and adjust programmes. Turn the selector clockwise (to the right). Align the setting mark with the programme required.

See the programme table below.

The temperature selector is used to select the wash temperature. The

maximum programme temperature is set at 60º C for delicates and 40º C for woollens, even if a higher temperature has been selected, so as to avoid damaging delicate items.

Use cold wash or low temperature programs if the type of laundry and degree of soiling permits. Washing at

60º C consumes approximately half as much energy as washing at 90º C.

If the washing is very soiled and needs to be washed at 90º C, turn the rotary selector until it clicks into the 90 position. This will require some extra effort. It is not a fault but is because it is regarded as a safety measure.

Washing machine status indicator lights

Detergents and softeners

You can use all powder and liquid detergents suitable for

	front-loading washing machines.
	!	Do not use hand washing detergents because they produce
		too much foam.
	!	Do not use solvent-based detergents in automatic washing
		machines. Risk of explosion.
	!	Do not use washing performance enhancers, stain removers
		or sprays near the machine as they could damage the
		machine.
	!	Store detergents and additives in a safe place out of the
		reach of children.
Detergent quantity	Only the correct dosage of detergent ensures good washing
	results. Follow the instructions on the detergent packaging.

Use the dispenser provided with the packaging, such as a detergent ball or sachet, for liquid detergent.

Never exceed the maximum mark, «MAX», on the dispenser.

The quantity of detergent required depends on:

-the water hardness.

-the degree of soiling.

-the amount of washing.

-the dosage recommended for the type of detergent.

Insufficient detergent will not be noticed until the laundry has been washed several times in the same way:

-The laundry turns grey or is not clean.

-Greyish brown spots may form on the laundry.

-Lime scale may start to form on the appliance heating elements.

An excessive amount of detergent may cause:

-Unnecessary environmental pollution.

-Slower washing movement in the machine due to the formation of foam leading to poor washing results.

The detergent dosage given on the packaging is based on a full washing machine load.

The quantity of detergent should be reduced for smaller loads or laundry that is lightly soiled.

en 11

Hints	Fabric softeners
	Put the fabric softener in the chamber marked 2. Do not exceed
	the «MAX» marking (maximum to the lower edge of the piece A)
	because the softener will be flushed into the water with the
	detergent at the start of the washing cycle and so have no effect
	in the fabric softening cycle. Thicker fabric softeners should first
	be diluted with a little water.
	Bleaching agents, stain removers
	Powdered bleaching agents and stain removers can be added.
	First put the detergent in the drawer. Next add the powdered
	bleaching agent or stain remover to the II chamber.

Preparing the laundry
