Connect the drain hose to the siphon or hook it

•

over the edge of a sink by means of the “U” bend supplied.

If the washing machine is connected to an

•

integrated drainage system, ensure the latter is equipped with a vent to avoid simultaneous loading and draining of water (siphoning effect).

•

qualified technician in compliance with the manufacturer’s instructions and current standard safety regulations.

Data regarding voltage, power consumption and

•

protection requirements is given on the inside of the door.

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.

Pretreat stains with stain remover or soak dried-

•

in stains in water before washing to reduce the necessity of a hot wash programme.

Save energy by using a 60° C instead of a 95° 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 tumble dryer (for machines with adjustable spin speed).
