Important
Your machine is fitted with a balance control device, which ensures the ma-chine is
stable during the spin.
If the wash load appears not to have been spun sufficiently at the end of the wash
cycle, because it is not evenly distributed in the drum, the balance con\
trol device
may have operated. It will therefore be necessary to redistribute the wash load man-
ually and select a spin programme. For more detailed information see the section
headed Something Not Working.

Tips for environmental protection
To save water, energy and to help protect the environment, we recommend
that you follow these tips:
 Normally soiled laundry may be washed without prewashing in order tosave detergent, water and time (the environment is protected too!).
 Use the energy saving programme when washing normally soiled garments.
 The machine works more economically if it is fully loaded (for both wash- ing and drying cycles).
 When small loads are washed, use only half to two thirds of the recom- mended amount of detergent.
 The machine will consume less energy if the laundry is  adequately spun
before being dried.
 With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited soiling can be removed; the laundry can then be washed at a lower temperature.
