Protection of the environment / hints and
tips
Your washing machine uses water, energy and
detergent efficiently, thereby protecting the
environment and reducing your household costs. See
page 32 for consumption values of your appliance.
Hints and tips Using your washing machine in an efficient and
environmentally friendly manner:
■ Do not exceed maximum load.
With smaller amounts of laundry, the load adjust
reduces the water and energy consumption.
■ Where possibe, select the Cotton 60°C with
additional function Intensive È programme
instead of Cottons 90°C
T Prewash. The
cleaning effects of this 60°C programme are com-
parable with those of a 90°C programme, although
the power consumption is considerably lower.
■ Do not use prewash for lightly to normally soiled
washing.
■ Add detergent according to the degree of soiling,
amount of laundry and water hardness, and
observe the detergent manufacturer's instructions.

Stubborn/dried in stains can sometimes only be
removed by washing several times.
Sorting washing according
to the instructions on the
care labels
Only wash laundry that is labelled with the following
care symbols:
89:;<
hard-wearing textiles, heat-resistant textiles
e.g. made from cotton or linen
>AB
for easy-care textiles
e.g. cotton, linen, synthetic materials or blended fabrics
E>FA
for easy-care, washable textiles
e.g. silk, satin, synthetic materials or blended fabrics
(e.g. curtains)
6E>FA
for hand and machine washable wool or wool-rich
textiles
e.g. cashmere, mohair or angora, also suited for hand
washable silk.
Do not wash laundry items which bear the following
care label in the washing machine:
.
B= do not wash
13
Loading the washing m Risk of explosion!
Items of clothing that have been pretreated with
solvent-based cleaning agents, e.g. stain remover and
dry cleaning spirit, represent an explosion hazard once
loaded into the washing machine. Before loading the
laundry, rinse thoroughly by hand.
Warning
Foreign objects in the drum may damage the laundry.
Before loading the laundry, check that there is no
debris in the drum.
■ Open the washing machine door.
■ Unfold the sorted items of clothing and place them
loosely into the drum. Mix large and small items.
Laundry items which vary in size are more evenly
distributed during the spin cycle.
² Do not exceed recommended loads. Overloading
will cause poor wash results and encourage
creasing.
■ Close the washing machine door.
Take care not to trap any items of clothing
between the loading door and rubber seal.

Detergents and cleaning products
Dosing detergent m Risk of poisoning!
Keep detergents and additives out of the reach of
children.
Dose detergent according to
■ the water hardness. You can find out the water
hardness from your water utility company.
■ the amount of laundry.
■ the degree of soiling.
Information on soiling can be found on page 11.
■ the specifications of the detergent manufacturer.
The correct dosage reduces the impact on the
environment and produces a good washing result.
Pour liquid detergent into the corresponding
dispenser.
Too little detergent:
– The laundry is not washed clean and eventually
becomes grey and hard.
– Greyish-brown dots (grease spots) may stain the
laundry.
– The heating elements are calcifying.
Too much detergent:
– The environment is loaded.
– Excessive froth may be generated during the
wash cycle causing a reduction in the washing
mechanism. This may be the cause of poor
washing and rinsing results.

Installation surface Appliance stability is important so that the washing
machine does not "wander" during the spin cycles.
The installation surface must be solid and level. Soft
floor coverings, e.g. carpets or floor coverings with a
foam backing are not suitable.
If the washing machine is to be installed on a wooden
floor:
■ If possible, install the washing machine in a corner.
■ Screw a water-resistant wooden board (at least 30
mm thick) to the floor.
■ Secure the washing machine feet with fixing
brackets*.
If the washing machine is to be installed on a base:
■ Secure the washing machine feet with fixing
brackets*.
* Holding brackets (set) can be obtained from a
specialist store or the Customer Service,
order no. WMZ 2200.
Built-under or built-in
appliance installation
The appliance must be built under or built in prior to
connecting the power supply.
The appliance can be built into or under a kitchen work
surface. For this purpose, a recess width of 60 cm is
required.
■ The washing machine must only be installed under
a one-piece worktop that is permanently attached
to the surrounding cabinets.
Attention
For safety reasons in built-under installation, a cover
plate* must be assembled by a specialist in place of
the appliance cover plate.

Connecting the water m Risk of electric shock!
To prevent leaks or water damage, it is essential to
follow the instructions in this chapter!
Water inlet hose Warning
Operate the washing machine with cold drinking water
only. Do not connect to the mixer tap of an
unpressurised hot-water apparatus.
If in doubt, have the appliance connected by a
specialist.
The water inlet hose must not be
– kinked or crushed,
– modified or severed (strength is no longer
guaranteed).
Plastic threads must only be tightened by hand. Do not
remove the strainers from the water supply hose.
Check the mains water pressure:
– The water pressure should be between 1 and 10
bars (when the tap is turned on, at least 8 litres of
water is discharged per minute).
– If the water pressure is higher, install a pressure
reducing valve.
Connect the water supply hose
■ to the rear panel of the washing machine and ...
■ to the tap.
■ After connecting the water inlet hose:
Turn on the water tap completely, and check
connection points for water-tightness.
