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).
