PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
• Packing
The packaging is marked with the recycling
symbol , signifying that it can be 100%
recycled.
• Appliance
The appliance is made of recyclable
materials. Dispose of the appliance in
conformity with environmental regulations.
Make it inoperable: pull out the plug and cut
off the power cable so that the appliance
cannot be connected to the mains.
• Eco-tips
- A full load (depending on the programme
selected) gives the best energy and water
consumption.
- Laundry which is lightly to moderately soiled
does not require a prewash.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• The appliance must only be used in the
household for the prescribed uses.
• All connections to the water and electrical
mains must be made in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions and following
local utility company safety regulations (see
“Installation Instructions”).
• Before any cleaning and maintenance switch
off the machine or disconnect it from the
mains.
• Switch off the washing machine and turn off
the tap(s) whenever the machine is not in
use.
- Lightly soiled/Half load laundry should be
washed at a low temperature or with a short
programme.
- When washing small loads press the “Lightly
Soiled”/“Half load” button (if present) and
use less detergent.

dryer, use the highest spin speed (depending
on the programme).
The dryer will then consume less energy.
- Do not exceed the recommended dosages
on the detergent packet.
- Only use bleach or stain remover if
absolutely necessary.

SORTING THE WASH
1. Sort the load according to:
• Fabric type / care label symbol
Cotton, mixed fibres, synthetics, wool.
• Colours
Separate coloured and white articles. Wash new
coloured articles separately.
• Article size
Washing articles of different sizes together
improves wash efficiency and distributes the load
better in the drum.
• Fabric delicacy
Wash delicates separately. Select the appropriate
special programme for machine - washable wool
, curtains or delicates. Either remove curtain
hooks or tie into a cloth bag. Only wash machinewashable fabrics. Wash small articles (e.g. nylon
stockings, belts etc.) and articles with hooks (e.g.
bras) in a cloth bag or pillow case with zip.
2. Empty all pockets
Coins, safety pins etc. can damage the laundry,
drum and tub.
3. Closures
Close zips and hooks and eyes. Loose belts or
ribbons should be tied together.
STAIN REMOVAL

generally removed by the enzyme phase of the
program.
• To remove red wine, coffee, tea, grass and fruit
stains, etc. add a biological stain removing agent
to the main wash in chamber or a chlorine
bleach in chamber of the detergent drawer
(depending on the model).
• Particularly stubborn stains can be treated with
stain remover before the wash.
