PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
1.Packing � The packing box may be fully recycled as confirmed by 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 Flap - 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 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 the washing machine. 5.General recommendations � When the appliance is not in use unplug it and 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 door open. � If necessary, the power cable may be replaced with an identical one obtained from our AfterSales Service.
