Your New Washing Machine

Your new washing machine, which is fitted with the Jet System, meets all modern
requirements for effective treatment of laundry with low water, energy and detergent
consumption.

●

The special Handwash programme with their new
delicate wash system treats your delicate items with
extreme care.

●

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

●

The automatic cooling of the washing water from
95° to 60°C before draining will prevent old drain
pipes from being deformed.

●

The balance control device ensures the machine is
stable during the spin.

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".
