synthetics, wool, handwash items)
• Colour (separate coloured and white items, wash new
coloured items separately)
• Delicates (wash small items – like nylon stockings –
and items with hooks – like bras – in a cloth bag or
pillow case with zip).
EMPTY ALL POCKETS

CLEAN THE WATER FILTER REGULARLY
• This helps to prevent it from getting clogged, which
could cause that the drain water cannot be pumped
out anymore. Refer to the CARE AND
MAINTENANCE/“Cleaning the water filter” section in
the Use and Care Guide.
SAVINGS AND ENVIRONMENT
• Achieve the best use of energy, water, detergent and
time by using the recommended maximum load size
for the programmes, as indicated in the programme
chart.
• Do not exceed the detergent dosages indicated in the
detergent manufacturer’s instructions. Use the Dosing
Aid function.
• Save energy by using a 60°C instead of a 95°C wash
programme or a 40°C instead of a 60°C wash
programme. For cottons, the Eco Cotton programme
at 40°C or 60°C is recommended.
• Save energy and time by selecting a high spin speed
to reduce the water content in the laundry before
using a tumble dryer.
