Horizontal slot - normal position: door can be locked as before. 25 PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT The packaging is marked with the recycling symbol , signifying that it can be 100% recycled. • Eco-tips A full load (depending on the programme selected) gives the best energy and water consumption. Laundry which is lightly to moderately soiled does not require a prewash. Lightly soiled laundry should be washed at a low temperature or with a short programme. When washing small loads press the “Lightly Soiled”/“Half load” button (if present) and use less detergent. If you wish to dry the laundry in a household dryer, use the highest spin speed (depending on the programme). The dryer will then consume less energy. Do not exceed the recommended dosages on the detergent packet. Only use bleach or stain remover if absolutely necessary. - - • Appliance The appliance is made of recyclable materials. Loose belts or ribbons should be tied together. STAIN REMOVAL • Blood, milk, egg, and other organic substances are generally removed by the enzyme phase of the programme. To remove red wine, coffee, tea, grass and fruit stains, etc. add a biological stain removing agent to the main wash in chamber or a chlorine bleach in chamber of the detergent drawer (depending on the model). Particularly stubborn stains can be treated with stain remover before the wash. • • LOADING THE WASH 1. Load the articles one at a time loosely into the drum, without overfilling. Close the door. LOAD CAPACITY See the programme overview. Note: Overloading the machine reduces the wash efficiency and encourages creasing. 27 DETERGENT AND ADDITIVES CHOOSING THE RIGHT DETERGENT The type of detergent depends on • the type of fabric (cottons, synthetics, delicates, wool) Note: Use only specific detergents for washing wool • colour • wash temperature • degree and type of soiling Note: • Whitish residues on dark fabrics are due to the insoluble water softeners in modern phosphate-free detergents. If this occurs, shake or brush out the fabric or use liquid detergents. • Keep detergents and additives in a safe, dry place out of the reach of children. • Use only detergent and fabric conditioner specifically produced for automatic domestic washing machines. • When using water softeners, descaling agents, dyes or bleaches, make sure that they are suitable for use in domestic washing machines.
