GB 3
FIRST WASH CYCLE
PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL
RECOMMENDATIONS
1.Packing
• The packaging materials are 100% recyclable
and bear the recycling symbol
. Adhere to
local regulations when disposing of packaging
material.
2.Energy saving tips
• Achieve the best use of energy, water, detergent
and time by using the recommended maximum
load size.
• Do not exceed the detergent dosages indicated
in the manufacturer’s instructions.
• The Eco Ball - a special system in the outlet - will
prevent detergent loss from the drum to avoid
detergent loss into the environment.
• Use “Prewash” for heavily soiled laundry only!
Save detergent, time, water and energy
consumption by not selecting “Prewash” for
slight to normally soiled laundry.
• Pretreat stains with stain remover or soak dried
in stains in water before washing to reduce the
necessity of a hot wash program.
• Save energy by using a 60°C instead of a 90°C
wash programme or a 40°C instead of a 60°C
wash programme.
• Save energy and time by selecting a high spin
speed to reduce the water content in laundry
before using a tumble dryer (for machines with
adjustable spin speed).
3.Disposing of packaging and old washing
machines
• The washing machine is built from reusable
materials. The washing machine must be
disposed of in compliance with current local
waste disposal regulations.
• Before scrapping, cut of the power cable so that
the washing machine cannot be connected to the
mains.
• Remove detergent from compartment if you
intend scrapping your washing machine.
4.Child safety
• Children must not be allowed to play with or in
the washing machine.
5.General recommendations
• Do not leave the washing machine connected
when not in use. Turn off the tap.
• Before cleaning or carrying out maintenance
switch off the washing machine and disconnect it
from the mains supply.
• To clean the outside of the washing machine, use
a neutral detergent and a damp cloth.
• Do not use abrasive detergents.
• Do not attempt to force the lid open.
• If necessary, the power cable may be replaced
with an identical one obtained from our After-
Sales Service. The power cable must only be
replaced by a qualified technician.
