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 appliances
•
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 off the
power cable so that the
washing machine cannot be
connected to the mains.
•
Remove detergent from
compartment if you intend
scrapping your appliance.
4.Child safety
•
Children must not be allowed
to play with or in the
appliance.
5.General
recommendations

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.
•
