Environmental protection

7 Environmental protection

Packaging/used appliance

Enviromentalprotecion

Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-responsible manner. This appliance is labelled in accordance with European Directive 2012/19/EU concerning used electrical and electronic appliances (waste electrical and electronic equipment - WEEE). The guideline determines the framework for the return and recycling of used appliances as applicable throughout the EU.

Save energy and conserve resources If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use less electricity and less water. Choose programmes with low temperatures and longer wash times and use maximum load capacity ~ Page 34. ■ Energy consumption and water consumption is most efficient. Use the economy programme settings. ■ If you adjust the programme settings for a programme, the display shows the expected consumption. Add ~ Page 33 detergent based on the laundry’s degree of soiling.

For light to normal soiling, a smaller amount of detergent is sufficient. Observe the dosage recommendation 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 drying 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 increases energy and water consumption. The appliance has a continuous automatic load adjustment function. ■ Depending on the type of fabric and load capacity, the continuous automatic load adjustment function optimally adjusts the water consumption and programme duration.

Sort your laundry according to the care instructions and manufacturer's information on the care labels, depending on: ■ Type of fabric/fibre ■ Colour Note: Laundry may discolour. Wash white and coloured items separately. Wash new coloured items separately the first time you wash them. ■ Soiling Wash laundry with the same level of soiling together. Some examples of soiling levels can be found in the chapter – Light: Do not need to pretreat. – Normal: Soiled laundry. – Heavy: Load less laundry, need to pretreat or soak laundry firstly. – Stains: Remove/pretreat stains while they are fresh. First dab with soapy water; do not rub. Then wash the items of laundry with the appropriate programme. Stubborn or dried-in stains can sometimes only be removed by washing several times. ■ Symbols on the care labels

Note: To ensure an even drying result, sort the laundry according to the: ■ Type of fabric ■ Care symbols which are indicated on the care labels.

Suitable for normal washing process; e.g. ic Cottons programme A gentle washing process is required; e.g. f Easy Care programme An especially gentle washing process is required; e.g. “ Delicate/ Silk programme Suitable for washing by hand; e.g. h Wool programme Do not machine wash.

Only dry laundry which is labelled “dryer-proof” or which has the following care symbols: ■ a : Dry at normal temperature ■ ` : Dry at low temperature (delicate drying) The following textiles should not be dried: ■ b = care symbol “Do not dry” ■ Delicates (silk, synthetic curtains). ■ Textiles which contain foam rubber or similar materials. ■ Textiles which were treated with flammable liquids, e.g. with stain remover, petroleum ether, thinners. Risk of explosion! ■ Textiles which still contain hairspray or similar substances. Notes ■ Before drying, hand-washed textiles must be spun at the appropriate spin speed. ■ Before drying, spin at the optimum speed. A spin speed of more than 1000 rpm is recommended for cotton, more than 800 rpm for easycare textiles. ■ Do not iron washing immediately after drying. It is recommended to roll the washing up first to distribute residual moisture evenly. ■ To ensure a good drying performance, quilts, terry cloths and other large textiles should be dried separately. Do not dry more than 6 terry cloths (or 4 kg). ■ Do not exceed the maximum load.
