Environmentally Friendly Waste Disposal

Disposing of the
packaging

The shipping package has protected your new washing machine on its
way to your home. All materials are ecologically harmless and recyclable.
Please contribute to a better environment by disposing of packaging
materials in an environmentally conscious manner.
Please ask your dealer or inquire at your local authorities about current
means of disposal.

Risk of choking!
Do not let children play with packaging and associated parts.
Risk of choking on plastic film and collapsible boxes.

Disposing of your
old appliance

Old appliances are not worthless rubbish. Environment-conscious

recycling can reclaim valuable new materials.

Danger of death!

Unplug mains plug on redundant appliances. Cut off mains cable and
discard with mains plug.
Destroy the lock on the door. To prevent playing children from becoming
trapped and endangered, ensure that the door locking mechanism is
disabled.
If you wish to discard this product, please contact your local authorities or
dealer and ask for the correct method of disposal.

Hints and Tips for Eco-Friendly Washing

Keep to the load limit of each program.
Your washing machine automatically adjusts the operating time and
amount of water of each program depending on the load.

You only need to use the PREWASH or INTENSIVE options if your

laundry is heavily soiled.

Add detergent according to the degree of soiling, laundry size and water
hardness, and follow the detergent manufacturers instructions.

Using the Cotton program with water temperature at 60C setting

instead of the Cotton program with water temperature at 90C will save
energy, and will remove ordinary stains. Better still, in areas where
the temperature is high, you can remove ordinary stains without using
hot water by setting Cold programs for more ecologically friendly
operation.

Detergent and

Washing with
different degrees
of soiling

Use the amount of detergent recommended on the detergent package.

The type and amount of detergent depends on the type of fabric, load
size, degree of soiling and hardness of the water used.
Use less detergent if :
- you wash a small load.
- the laundry is slightly soiled.
Too much detergent can result in excess foam formation which reduces
rinse efficiency or may cause a water leak.
Depending on the detergent brand, detergent may remain undissolved
when the water pressure is low, or when the water temperature is low.

Descaling

The water in some areas is hard and contains lime, so it is recommended

to use a water softening agent periodically, or use a descaler according
to the descaler manufacturer' instructions. Do this separately from any
laundry washing.

How to Install the Washing Machine

Make sure that the union nut between the water supply hose and main
unit is tightly screwed.

Turn the tap on to check if the water supply hose is properly connected
before starting. If it is loosely connected, water leakage may occur.

Drain hose

The drain hose should be placed higher than 60 cm above and not
higher than 100 cm above the floor.

If the drain outlet is lower than 60 cm,

a joint pipe is necessary (additional
part, sold at a specialist outlet).
Secure the drain hose to prevent from
slipping out from joint pipe.

Joint pipe

Do not bend, twist, crush or pull out, bend or step on the drain hose.
Use the hose guide to prevent the drain hose from kinking.

Do not detach the drain hose from the rear panel of the washing
machine.

Drainage into a wash basin (Using the packed-in hose guide) :

- Secure the drain hose to prevent it from
slipping out of the wash basin.
- The wash basin outlet must not be sealed
by a plug.
- When water is being pumped out of the
washing machine, check that the water
drains away quickly enough.
