Preventing material damage
Preventing material dam-
age
Preventing 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,
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" →Page29 for each
programme 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.
¡ Material damage may be caused if
the water inlet hose is connected
incorrectly.
▶
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 connect-
ing elements such as adapters,
extensions, valves or similar.
▶
Make sure that the valve hous-
ing for the water inlet hose does
not come into contact with its
surroundings and is not subjec-
ted 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.
▶
Make sure that the water pres-
sure in the water supply system
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 appliance.
▶
Do not connect the appliance to
the mixer tap of an unpressur-
ised 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 sup-
plied with the appliance or genu-
ine spare hoses.
▶
Never re-use water hoses that
have been used before.
¡ Operating the appliance using wa-
ter that is dirty or too hot may
cause material damage.
▶
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
detergents.
en Environmental protection and saving energy
12
▶
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
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"
→Page29.
Energy consumption and water
consumption is most efficient.
Use the economy programme set-
tings.
If you adjust the programme set-
tings for a programme, the display
shows the expected consumption.
"Add " →Page42 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.
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.

cians using genuine spare parts, in-
cluding after the manufacturer's war-
ranty has expired.
For safety reasons repairs to the ap-
pliance should only be carried out by
trained specialist staff. The warranty
claim becomes void if repairs or in-
terventions have been carried out by
persons not authorised by us for that
purpose or if our appliances have
been fitted with spare, supplementary
or accessory parts that were not
genuine parts and then resulted in a
defect.
Function-relevant genuine spare parts
according to the corresponding Eco-
design Order can be obtained from
Customer Service for a period of at
least 10 years from the date on
which your appliance was placed on
the market within the European Eco-
nomic Area.

facturer's warranty the use of Cus-
tomer Service is free of charge.
