Tips for Energy Savings
Through correct use and
consideration of our
recommendations, you can
make substantial energy savings.
•
For economical washing, refer to the
Table of Washing Programmes
(pages 18-19) for recommended
wash programmes.
•
Skip the pre-wash whenever possible
(if laundry is only lightly soiled).
•
Laundry which was previously
washed at 95°C may be washed at
60°C if either a bleaching agent, or a
concentrated washing agent is used.
•
Use an adequate washing agent, and
always consider the recommended
amount (refer manufacturer’s
instructions), and note the hardness of
the water and the degree of soiling.
Important
•
Before making use of the
machine, don't forget to
remove the transport rods.
Switching on a machine with the
transport rods in place may damage
the machine. The warranty does not
cover such damage.
•
Before switching on the machine,
check that the transport brackets
have been removed.
•
Don't place the appliance in a room
where the temperature may fall below
0°C, this could cause parts of the
machine to freeze and become
damaged.
•
The appliance should stand firmly
and horizontally on a solid base;
this will avoid any excessive
vibrations. Ensure the washing
machine is level.
•
Always consider the instructions for
correct placing and installation of the
machine to the mains and water
supply. This will help you avoid
accidents and protect your machine
against damage.
•
The appliance is to be connected to
the water mains using new hose-sets
and that old hose-sets should not be
reused.
•
The appliance my not be built-in
under the kitchen worktop in a row
of cabinets, because the use of the
appliance without the top cover is
not allowed for safety reasons.
Likewise, the removal of the rear
panel and the bottom of the
appliance are also not allowed.
•
The appliance should be positioned
in such way to provide normal
ventilation.
•
The outlet hose should not be
immersed in the discharge water (the
machine may pump the discharge
water back into the machine).
•
During the washing cycle, the door of
the machine cannot be opened. It
can only be opened 2 minutes after
washing is finished.
•
The glass door can become very hot
during washing, as such children
should be supervised whilst the
machine is operating.
•
Use only washing agents designed
specifically for machine washing.
•
We do not take any responsibility for
damage caused to the gasket and
other plastic parts by the improper
use of bleaching or colouring agents.
•
Never use washing agents containing
solvents - individual component parts
may be damaged or toxic gases may
