Energy and water consumption –Water consumption and energy usage are determined by the size of the load. To make the most out of your machine, load the maximum dry load for the programme you are using. –Use theAutomaticandExpress programmes for small loads. –When smaller amounts of laundry are washed using theCottons programme, the automatic load recognition system will reduce the amount of water, time and energy used. This may mean that the time left shown in the display is adjusted during the course of the wash programme. – Using theCottons 60°Cprogramme instead of theCottons 95°C programme will give energy savings of between 35% and 45%. This is sufficient for most levels of soiling. For stubborn or old stains, use the Soakextra option.Detergent –Do not exceed the amounts of detergent recommended by the manufacturer on the packaging. –Adjust the dosage to the degree of soiling of the laundry. –Reduce the amount of detergent for smaller loads. Use the Load/Detergentbutton. Choosing the correct Extra option (Short, Soak, Pre-wash) Select: – A wash programme together with the Shortextra option for light to normal soilingwhere there are no obvious marks. – A wash programme without any extra options for normal to heavy soiling with visible staining. – A wash programme together with the Soakextra option for heavily soiled laundry. – ThePre-washextra option for laundry with large amounts of dirt(e.g. dust, sand). When drying with a tumble dryer Selecting the highest possible spin speed for the wash programme will save energy when drying in a tumble dryer afterwards. Washing environmentally and economically 15
Brief instructions The headings numbered , ,,... show the operating sequence and can be used as brief instructions. Sort the laundry Empty all pockets. Foreign objects (e.g. nails, coins, paper clips, etc.) can cause damage to garments and components in the machine. Badly soiled areas, stains etc. should be cleaned as soon as possible, preferably whilst still fresh. Spillages should be carefully dabbed off using a soft colourfast cloth. Do not rub! Badly soiled areas can be pre-treated with liquid detergent, stain removers etc. first, following the manufacturers instructions. With particularly stubborn stains ask your dry cleaner for advice. If you use a solvent-based clean - ing agent (e.g. one containing ben - zene) to pre-treat a stain, make sure that any plastic parts (e.g. buttons) are protected, and that the cleaning agent is rinsed off before washing the garment in the machine. Do not use solvent-based cleaning agents in this machine. Sort the laundry by colour and by care label. Most garments have a textile care label in the collar or side seam. Dark textiles often contain excess dye and should be washed separately several times before being included in a mixed load. Always wash whites and coloureds separately. – Curtains: Remove lead weights first or place in a laundry bag. – Underwiring and collar stiffeners: Any loose wiring in bras, shirt collar stiffeners, etc. should be removed or sewn in. – Knitted garments, trousers and jeans, T-shirts and sweat shirts: Turn inside out, if recommended by the manufacturer. – Close any zips, fasten hooks and eyes etc before washing. – Fasten duvet covers etc. to prevent small items from being rolled up inside them. Do not wash any items in this machine which are specified by the manufacturer asnot washableon the care label. (symbol) How to wash correctly 16

It is important to dispense the correct amount, because too little detergent results in: –Laundry not getting properly clean and with time it may become grey and hard to the touch. –Greasy particles clinging to the laundry. –Limescale deposits on the heater elements. too much detergent results in: – Excessive foam which causes a low level of agitation and poor wash, rinse and spin results. – High water consumption (an additional rinse cycle will automatically switch in). – A burden to the environment.
