2Preventing material damage
Follow these instructions to avoid ma- terial damage and damage to the ap- pliance.
ATTENTION! The functionality of the appliance may be impaired if you use the wrong quantity of fabric softener, de- tergent, care product or cleaning agent. Follow the dosage recommenda-
tions from the manufacturer. Exceeding the maximum load capa- city impairs the function of the appli- ance. Observe the maximum load capa-
city for each programme and do not exceed it. "Programmes", Page 26
Foam and foam rubber may deform or melt during the drying process. Do not dry laundry that contains
foam or foam rubber. The appliance is secured for trans- portation using transit bolts. Transit bolts which have not been removed may result in material damage and damage to the appliance. Before starting up the appliance,
remove the transit bolts completely and keep them in a safe place.
Before transport, fit the transit bolts fully in order to prevent damage in transit.
Material damage may be caused if the water inlet hose is connected in- correctly. Tighten the screw connections on
the water inlet until they are hand- tight.
Ideally, connect the water inlet hose directly to the water tap, without any additional connecting elements such as adapters, exten- sions, valves or similar.
Make sure that the valve housing for the water inlet hose does not come into contact with its sur- roundings and is not subjected to any external forces.
Ensure that the inner diameter of the water tap is at least 17 mm.
Make sure that the length of the thread on the connection to the water tap is at least 10 mm.
If the water pressure is too high or too low, the appliance may not be able to operate properly. Ensure that the water pressure in
the water supply system is at least 100 kPa (1 bar) and max. 1000 kPa (10 bar).
If the water pressure exceeds the maximum value specified, a pres- sure-reducing valve must be in- stalled between the drinking water connection and the hose set of the appliance.
Do not connect the appliance to the mixer tap of an unpressurised hot-water boiler.
Modified or damaged water hoses may result in material damage and damage to the appliance. Never kink, crush, modify or cut
through water hoses. Only use the water hoses supplied
with the appliance or genuine spare hoses.
Never re-use water hoses that have been used before.
Operating the appliance using water that is dirty or too hot may lead to material damage and damage to the appliance. Only operate the appliance with
cold mains water. Unsuitable cleaning products may damage the surfaces of the appli- ance. Do not use harsh or abrasive de-
tergents.
Environmental protection and saving energyen
11
Do not use cleaning products with a high alcohol content.
Do not use hard scouring pads or cleaning sponges.
Clean the appliance with nothing but water and a soft, damp cloth.
Remove all detergent residue, spray residue or other residues im- mediately if they come into contact with the appliance.
3Environmental protec- tion and saving energy
3.1Disposing of packaging The packaging materials are environ- mentally compatible and can be re- cycled. Sort the individual components by
type and dispose of them separ- ately.
3.2Save energy and con- serve resources
If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use less electricity and less water.
Choose programmes with low tem- peratures and longer wash times and use maximum load capacity. a Energy consumption and water
consumption is most efficient.
detergent based on the laundry's de- gree of soiling. a For light to normal soiling, a smal-
ler amount of detergent is suffi- cient. Observe the dosage recom- mendation from the detergent manufacturer.
Reduce the washing temperature for lightly and normally soiled laundry. a At lower temperatures, the appli-
ance consumes less energy. For light to normal soiling, lower tem- peratures than indicated on the care label are also sufficient.
Set the maximum spin speed if you want to dry the laundry in the appli- ance afterwards. a The drier the laundry, the shorter
the programme duration when dry- ing which, in turn, reduces energy consumption. A higher spin speed reduces the residual moisture in the laundry and increases the volume of the spin noise.
Wash the laundry without prewash. a Washing with prewash increases
the programme duration and in- creases energy and water con- sumption.
The appliance has a continuous automatic load adjustment function. a Depending on the type of fabric
and load capacity, the continuous automatic load adjustment func- tion optimally adjusts the water consumption and programme dur- ation.
3.3Energy saving mode If you do not use the appliance for an extended period, it automatically switches to energy-saving mode. Energy-saving mode ends when you use the appliance again.
