PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL
RECOMMENDATIONS
1.Packing
•
The packing material is recyclable as indicated by 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 manufacturers’ recommended
dosages as shown on the detergent package.
•
The Eco Flap - 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. You save on water,
energy and time as a result.
•
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 drying programme (for appliances
with adjustable spin speed).
