Environmental and Economical Tips  
Energy and water consumption  
• Water consumption and energy usage can be affected by the weight  
of the load. To make the best use of your appliance, load the  
maximum amount of dry clothes for the particular programme.  
• The most efficient programmes in terms of energy consumption are  
generally those that perform at lower temperatures and longer  
duration.  
• Noise and remaining moisture content are influenced by the spinning  
speed: the higher the spinning speed in the spinning phase, the  
higher the noise and the lower the remaining moisture content.  
• Evenly loading laundry up to the capacity indicated by the  
manufacturer for the respective programmes will contribute to  
energy and water savings.  
• For washing smaller amounts of clothes, the automatic load  
recognition system will help reduce the amount of water and energy  
usage.  
• Use the Speed programme for small, lightly soiled loads.  
• Cold water laundry detergents can be as effective at lower  
temperatures (about 20 ). Using 20 settings will use less energy  
than 30 or higher temperatures.  
Detergent  
• Detergent should be chosen according to type, colour, soiling of the  
fabric and the washing temperature. And it should be used according  
to the instruction of the detergent manufacturer. Use only  
detergents that are suitable for Drum (front load) type washers.  
• Use less detergent on smaller loads.  
- Partial load: 1/2 of the normal amount.  
- Minimum load: 1/3 of full load.

CARING FOR THE ENVIRONMENT  
Selecting Extra Options and Functions  
• Select the water temperature suitable for the type of load you are  
washing. Follow the garment fabric care labels for best results.  
• The Pre Wash option is recommended for washing a heavily soiled  
load.  
Disposal of the Packaging Material  
• The packaging materials are designed to protect the appliance from  
unexpected damage during transportation.  
• After installing the appliance, dispose of the packaging waste  
according to recycling symbols of material types. Put the packaging  
waste in relevant containers to recycle it.  
Disposal of Your Old Appliance  
• This crossed-out wheeled bin symbol indicates that waste  
electrical and electronic products (WEEE) should be  
disposed of separately from the municipal waste stream.  
• Old electrical products can contain hazardous substances  
so correct disposal of your old appliance will help prevent  
potential negative consequences for the environment and  
human health. Your old appliance may contain reusable  
parts that could be used to repair other products, and  
other valuable materials that can be recycled to conserve  
limited resources.  
• You can take your appliance either to the shop where you  
purchased the product, or contact your local government  
waste office for details of your nearest authorised WEEE  
collection point. For the most up to date information for

Wash / Fabric type  
• For best washing results, sort your  
clothes according to the care label  
stating fabric type and washing  
temperature. Adjust the spin speed or  
spin intensity in accordance with the  
fabric type.  
• Special Delicate Wash  
• Delicates  
• Hand Wash Only  
• Wool, Silk  
• Soil level (Heavy, Normal, Light):  
Separate clothes according to soil  
level. If possible, do not wash heavily  
soiled items with lightly soiled ones.  
• Colour (White, Lights, Darks): Wash  
dark or dyed clothes separately from  
whites or light colours. Mixing dyed  
clothes with light clothes can result in  
dye transfer or discolouration of  
lighter clothes.  
• Do not wash  
NOTE  
• The dashes under the symbol give you  
information about the type of fabric  
and the maximum allowance of  
mechanical stress.  
• Lint (Lint producers, Collectors): Wash  
separately lint producing fabrics from  
lint collecting fabrics. Lint producers  
can result in pilling and linting on the  
lint collectors.  
Checking the Clothes before  
Loading  
• To help distribute the load evenly  
during spinning, combine large and  
small items in a load.  
• Do not wash single small items. Add 1-  
2 similar items to the load to prevent  
an out-of-balance load.  
• Check all pockets to make sure that  
they are empty. Items such as nails,  
hair clips, matches, pens, coins and  
keys can damage both your appliance  
and clothes.

the water supply tap. Hand tighten only  
with the aid of a soft cloth. Do not  
overtighten the supply hose with any  
mechanical device.  
• Water pressure must be between 50  
kPa and 800 kPa (0.58.0 kgf/cm²). If  
the water pressure is more than 800  
kPa, a decompression device should  
be installed.  
• Periodically check the condition of the  
water supply hose and replace the  
water supply hose if necessary.  
NOTE  
• Do not overtighten the water supply  
hose or use mechanical devices to  
tighten onto the inlet valves.  
• No further backflow protection  
required for connection to the water  
inlet.  
Checking the Rubber Seal

the water supply hose. They are used to  
prevent water leaks. Connection to taps  
is sufficiently tight.  
• After connecting the water inlet hose  
to the water tap, turn on the water tap  
to flush out foreign substances (dirt,  
sand, sawdust, and etc.) in the water  
lines. Let the water drain into a bucket,  
and check the water temperature.  
• Do not use mechanical devices such as  
multi grips to tighten the water supply  
hose. Ensure that the curved end of  
the water supply hose is connected to  
the appliance.
