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
washing phase 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.
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".
