2 / INSTALLING YOUR MACHINE
•SAFETY ADVICE (continued)
— Do not let children play with the machine and
keep your pets away from it.
— You must immediately make any obsolete
machine unusable. Disconnect and cut off the
power cable flush with the machine. Close the
water tap and remove the hose. Disable the door
lock.
— If there is a risk of frost, disconnect the water
hose and drain off any water that may remain in the
drain hose by placing this as low as possible in a
bowl.
•
For washer-dryers:
— Before drying, remove the detergent dispensers
placed in the drum with your washing. Their plastic
material cannot withstand the drying temperatures.
•SAVING ENERGY
— Only programme a prewash when it is absolutely
necessary: for example, for very dirty sports or
working clothes, etc.
— A low temperature programme is sufficient for
impeccable washing results when your washing is
only slightly or moderately dirty.
— For washing that is only slightly dirty, select a
short washing cycle.
— Use the right amount of washing products for the
hardness of the water, the amount of washing and
how dirty it is and follow the instructions on the
detergent packs.
•
For washer-dryers:
— If you spin at high speed, little dampness will
remain and you will therefore consume little
electricity. Even synthetic textiles can be spun
before drying.
— Choosing your drying time well also helps to save
water and electricity.
— Avoid wasting water and electricity by not over-
drying your laundry.
