Wash new, coloured items separately. -Size: Placing articles of different sizes in the same load will improve the washing performance. -Sensitivity: Wash delicate items separately. Check the labels on the items you are washing or refer to the fabric care chart below.

-Empty pockets (key, coins, etc) and remove the harder decorative objects (e.g. brooches). -Securing fasteners Close zippers and fasten buttons or hooks; loose belts or ribbons should be tied together. -Place small items such as socks, belts, etc. in a washing bag. -Washing a single big and heavy item such as bath towel, jeans, wadded jacket etc. may unbalance the laundry in the drum. Therefore it is suggested to add one or two more clothes to be washed together so that draining can be done smoothly. -Baby articles (baby clothes, towels and napkins) shall be washed separately. If they are washed together with the adults' clothes, they may be infected. Rinsing times shall be increased to ensure the thorough rinsing and cleaning with no detergent residues left. -It is suggested that the items that are easily stained such as white socks, collars and sleeves etc. shall be hand washed before being put into washing machine to achieve more ideal washing effects. - The clothes which easily get fuzzed shall be washed separately; otherwise the other articles can be stained with dust and lint particles, etc. Preferably, black clothes and cotton clothes shall be washed separately. -Do not wash materials (ski suits, outside napkin pads, raincoats, umbrella, car covers, sleeping sacks,bags, etc). It is better not to wash fabrics that cannot get soaked easily (such as waterproof cushions and clothes) in the washing machine. Otherwise there will be water bursting out or abnormal vibration to cause danger during rinsing and draining so that the clothes may be damaged. -Detergent tips The type of detergent you should use is based on the type of fabric (cotton, synthetic, delicate items, wool), colour, washing temperature, degree and type of soiling. Please use “low suds” laundry detergent. NOTE: Do not add more detergent than needed. Please follow the usage recommendation on the detergent package. Follow the detergent manufacturer's recommendations based upon the weight of the laundry, the degree of soiling, and the hardness of the water in your area. If you do not know how hard your water is, ask your water authority. NOTE: Keep detergents and additives in a safe, dry place out of the reach of children. waterproof Downloaded from www.vandenborre.be30

❶ A (highest efficiency) to D (lowest efficiency) ❷Energy consumption kWh per year, based on 220 standard washing cycles for standard programme at 60°C and 40°C at full and partial load, and the consumption of the low-power modes. Actual energy consumption will depend on how the appliance is used. ❸Water consumption 9240 litres per year based on 220 standard washing cycles for standard programme at 60°C and 40°C at full and partial load. Actual water consumption will depend on how the appliance is used. ❹Spin-drying efficiency class C on a scale from G (least efficient) to A (most efficient) ❺The standard 60°C cotton intensive programme and the standard 40°C cotton intensive programme are the standard washing programmes. These programmes are suitable to clean normally soiled cotton laundry and that they are the most efficient programmes in terms of combined energy and water consumptions for washing that type of cotton laundry. The actual water temperature may differ from the declared cycle temperature.

Please choose the suitable type of detergent for the various washing temperatures to get the best washing performance with less water and energy consumption.
