Help to keep your country tidy! Tips for environmental protection To save water, energy and to help protect the environment, we recommend that you follow these tips: · Normally soiled laundry may be washed without prewashing in order to save detergent, water and time (the environment is protected too!). · The machine works more economically if it is fully loaded. · With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited soiling can be removed; the laundry can then be washed at a lower temperature, so saving energy. · Measure out detergent according to the water hardness, the degree of soiling and the quantity of laundry being washed. 29 ENGLISH · When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the electrical supply cable and destroy the plug with the remaining cable. Disable the door catch in order to prevent children from becoming trapped inside while playing.

You are advised to keep all transit devices so that they can be refitted if the machine ever has to be transported again. 1. Using a spanner, unscrew and remove the rear right-hand bolt and lay the machine on its back, taking care not to squash the hoses. This can be avoided by placing one of the corner packing pieces between the machine and the floor. Positioning Install the machine on a flat hard floor. Make sure that air circulation around the machine is not impeded by carpets, rugs etc. Check that the machine does not touch the wall or other kitchen units. Carefully level by screwing the adjustable feet in or out. Never place cardboard, wood or similar materials under the machine to compensate for any unevenness in the floor.
