Protection of the environment/Conservation tips
Always fill the washing machine with a maximum amount of
laundry for the relevant programme.
Wash normally soiled laundry without a pre-wash.
Instead of ƱƂƍƃƂƋƆƑŽ (Cottons)
90 °C, choose the programme
ƱƂƍƃƂƋƆƑŽ (Cottons) 60 °C with the additional function
EcoPerfect ć. Comparable cleaning result was significantly
lower energy consumption.
Measure the detergent according to the manufacturer's
instructions and water hardness.
If the laundry is then dried in the tumble dryer, select spin speed
according to instructions of dryer manufacturer.

from the housing.
Remove the sealing cap, allow the detergent solution to flow out into the container. Replace
the sealing cap and place the drainage hose in the retainer.
3* For models without a drainage hose: Carefully unscrew the pump cover 180° or until the
detergent solution begins to flow out on the folding gutter. When the container is full, close
the pump cover and empty the container. Repeat the above steps until all the detergent
solution has completely drained out.
4. Carefully unscrew the pump cover (there may be residual water).
5. Clean the interior, pump cover thread and pump housing (the impeller in the detergent
solution pump must rotate).
6. Replace the pump cover and screw it tightly.
7. Return the drainage hose (depending on model) and the folding gutter to their start position.
