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.
