Hints and tips Environmental information

Your New Washing Machine

Your new washing machine meets all modern requirements for effective treatment of laundry with low water, energy and detergent consumption.

●The programme selector dial combines the function of programme and temperature selection, making it easier to set the programme.

●The programme progress display shows the delay start, the functioning of the machine and the end of the programme .

●The special wool programme with its new delicate wash system treats your woollens with extreme care.

●The ECO VALVE allows total use of detergent and reduces water consumption so saving energy.

Ecological hints

To save water and energy and help protect the environment, we recommend that you follow these hints:

●Adjust the quantity of detergent according to the hardness of your water supply, the amount of laundry and the degree of soiling.

●A programme without prewash is sufficient for normally soiled laundry.

●The machine works more economically if it is fully loaded.

●With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited soiling can be removed; the laundry can then be washed at a lower temperature, so saving energy.

In the interest

of the environment

●Materials marked with the symbol are recyclable.

●Check with your local Council or Environmental Health Office to see if there are facilities in your area for re-cycling this appliance.

●When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the power supply cable and make the door lock device unusable to prevent young children from being trapped inside.

●Help to keep your country tidy - use authorised disposal sites for your old appliance.

The symbol on the product or on its packaging indicates that this product may not be treated as household waste. Instead it shall be handed over to the applicable collection point for the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment. By ensuring this product is disposed of correctly, you will help prevent potential negative consequences for the environment and human health, which could otherwise be caused by inappropriate waste handling of this product. For more detailed information about recycling of this product, please contact your local city office, your household waste disposal service or the shop where you purchased the product.

How do we help to protect the environment?

We use recycled paper!

Important

Your machine is fitted with a balance control device, which ensures the machine is stable during the spin.

If the wash load appears not to have been spun sufficiently at the end of the wash cycle, because it is not evenly distributed in the drum, the balance control device may have operated. It will therefore be necessary to redistribute the wash load manually and select a spin programme. For more detailed information see the section headed "Something Not Working".

8 Spin speed selector dial

This dial allows you to reduce the final and the intermediate spin speeds or to select the NO SPIN or RINSE HOLD (anti-crease) option.

The speeds on the dial refer to cotton programmes.
