ATTENTION!
¡ The functionality of the appliance may be impaired if you use
the wrong quantity of fabric softener, detergent, care product
or cleaning agent.
▶

turer.
¡ Exceeding the maximum load capacity impairs the function of
the appliance.
▶
Observe the maximum load capacity →Page23 for each
programme and do not exceed it.
Safety en
11
¡ The appliance is secured for transportation using transit bolts.
Transit bolts which have not been removed may result in ma-
terial 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.
¡ If the water pressure is too high or too low, this may impair
functioning of the appliance.
▶
Make sure that the water pressure in the water supply sys-
tem is min. 100kPa (1bar) and max. 1000kPa (10bar).
▶
If the water pressure exceeds the maximum value specified,
a pressure-reducing valve must be installed between the
drinking water connection and the hose set of the appli-
ance.
¡ Modified or damaged water hoses may result in material dam-
age and damage to the appliance.
▶
Never kink, crush, modify or cut through water hoses.
▶
Only use the water hoses supplied with the appliance or

en Environmental protection and saving energy

Environmental protection and saving energy
Environmental protection
and saving energy
Help protect the environment by us-
ing your appliance in a way that con-
serves resources and by disposing of
reusable materials properly.
Disposing 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.
Information about current disposal
methods are available from your
specialist dealer or local authority.
Save energy and conserve re-
sources
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
→Page23.
Energy consumption and water
consumption is most efficient.
Add →Page34 detergent based on
the laundry's degree of soiling.
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.
At low temperatures, the appliance
consumes less energy. For light to
normal soiling, lower temperatures
than indicated on the care label
are also sufficient.
Set the maximum spin speed if you
want to dry the laundry in a tumble
dryer afterwards.
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.
The appliance has a continuous
automatic load adjustment function.
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.
Energy saving mode
If you do not use the appliance for an
extended period, it automatically
switches to energy-saving mode. All
displays go out and Start/Reload
flashes.
Energy-saving mode ends when you
use the appliance again.
