Energy saving tips
• If possible, avoid the selection of high wash tem-
peratures. Modern detergents achieve good
washing results even at low temperatures.
• Select the wash program depending on the type
of laundry and the required degree of washing.
• Take advantage of the maximum capacity of each
wash program.
• Clean the filter regularly to avoid excessive wash-
ing and high energy consumption.
• Ventilate the room well. The room temperature
should not rise above +35°C.

Cleaning and maintenance

WARNING:
• Always switch off the appliance and disconnect it
from the power supply before cleaning and user
maintenance.
• Allow the appliance to cool down enough before
cleaning. Scalding!

sary.
Maintenance of the washing machine

sealing thoroughly with a soft, damp cloth. Use

ularly without loading in the program [Drum
