Preventing material damage en
11
Preventing material damage
Preventing material dam-
age
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,
detergent, care product or clean-
ing agent.
Follow the dosage recommend-
ations from the manufacturer.
¡ Exceeding the maximum load ca-
pacity impairs the function of the
appliance.
Observe the maximum load ca-
pacity →Page22 for each pro-
gramme and do not exceed it.
¡ The appliance is secured for trans-
portation using transit bolts. Transit
bolts which have not been re-
moved may result in material dam-
age and damage to the appliance.
Before starting up the appliance,
remove the transit bolts com-
pletely 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 function-
ing of the appliance.
Make sure that the water pres-
sure in the water supply system
is min. 100kPa (1bar) and
max. 1000kPa (10bar).
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 appliance.
¡ 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 sup-
plied with the appliance or genu-
ine spare hoses.
Never re-use water hoses that
have been used before.
¡ Unsuitable cleaning products may
damage the surfaces of the appli-
ance.
Do not use harsh or abrasive
detergents.
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
immediately if they come into
contact with the appliance.
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.
Do not exceed the programme's
maximum load capacity →Page22.
A higher load capacity extends the
programme duration and in-
creases energy consumption.
Use the programme's maximum load
capacity →Page22.
The energy and resource con-
sumption is the most efficient.
Add →Page30 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.
Wash the laundry without prewash.
Washing with prewash increases
the programme duration and in-
creases energy and water con-
sumption.
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 Inicio / Pausa +
Carga flashes.
Energy-saving mode ends when you
use the appliance again, e.g. if you
open or close the door.
