PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

1.Packing
• The packaging materials are 100% recyclable and
bear the recycling symbol
regulations when disposing of packaging material.
2.Energy saving tips
• Achieve the best use of energy, water, detergent
and time by using the recommended maximum
load size.
• Do not exceed the detergent dosages indicated
in the manufacturer's instructions.
• The Eco Ball - a special system in the outlet - will
prevent detergent loss from the drum to avoid
detergent loss into the environment.
• Use "Prewash" for heavily soiled laundry only!
Save detergent, time, water and energy
consumption by not selecting "Prewash" for
slight to normally soiled laundry.
• Pretreat stains with stain remover or soak dried
in stains in water before washing to reduce the
necessity of a hot wash program.
• Save energy by using a 60°C instead of a 95°C
wash programme or a 40°C instead of a 60°C
wash programme.
• Save energy and time by selecting a high spin
speed to reduce the water content in laundry
before using a tumble dryer (for machines with
adjustable spin speed).
