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 machines
with adjustable spin speed).
3.Disposing of packaging and old appliances
The washing machine is built from reusable
materials. Dispose of the appliance in
conformity with environmental regulations.
Before scrapping, cut off the power cable so that the
washing machine cannot be connected to the mains.
Remove detergent from compartment if you
intend scrapping your appliance.
