Tips for energy saving
- We recommend
HE (High efficiency) detergents
because they are particularly designed to deliver
optimum performance from your frontĆloading washer.
Not using HE detergent could cause problems such as
oversudsing, extended cycle periods, or a decrease in
wash performance.
- Utilize the maximum amount of laundry for the appropriate
cycle.
- Avoid using too much detergent.
- Add detergent according to manufacturer's instruction and
water hardness.
- If the laundry will be dried in a dryer afterwards, select spin
speed according to the dryer manufacturer's instructions.
Set cycle selector to Off.
Open loading door and remove laundry.
If No final Spin (spin stop = without final spin) is active:
Select spin speed or set cycle selector to Drain or Spin.
Select Start/Pause.
Remove any existing foreign objects - Risk of rust.
Measure detergent according to:
Size of wash load, amount of soiling, water hardness (contact your
local water supplier) and manufacturer's instructions.
For models without dispenser for liquid detergent.
Fill the liquid detergent in the appropriate measuring container and
place in the drum.
During operation: Be careful when opening the dispensing drawer!
Follow care instructions of the manufacturer!
According to the care instructions tag.
According to type, color, soiling and temperature.
Do not exceed maximum load -> Page 7.
Pay attention to important information! ->Page 6!
Fill with large and small items of laundry! Close loading door.
Do not catch pieces of laundry between the door
and the rubber seal.
