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.
- If you wish to dry the laundry in a household 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.
Never use excessive force to open the door.
Children must not be allowed to play with or
inside the machine. Do not rest any weight on the door.
Packaging materials can be dangerous for children. Keep the packaging material (plastic bags, polystyrene, etc.) well out of their reach.

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
Blood, milk, egg, and other organic substances are
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.
LOADING THE WASH
1.
Open the door. Load the articles one at a time loosely into the
2.
drum, without overfilling. Close the door.
3.
LOAD CAPACITY
See the programme overview. Note: Overloading the machine reduces the wash
efficiency and encourages creasing.
