Your New Washing Machine
Your new washing machine meets all modern requirements for effective treatment of laundry with low water, energy and detergent consumption.
Even small loads are washed “economically” because the amount of water used is regulated automatically according to the load and type of fabric.
●Automatic cooling of the wash water to 60°C before draining, with the 95°C programme. This reduces thermal shock to fabrics, helping to prevent creasing.
●The special wool programme with its new delicate wash system treats your woollens with extreme care.
●The balance control device ensures that the washing machine remains stable when spinning.
Ecological hints
To save water and energy and help protect the environment, we recommend that you follow these hints:
●Normally soiled laundry may be washed without prewashing in order to save detergent, water and time (the environment is protected too!).
●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.
●Measure out detergent according to the water hardness, the degree of soiling and the quantity of laundry being washed.
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”.
