Preventing material damage
Preventing material damage
Follow these instructions to avoid material damage and damage to the
appliance. ATTENTION! The functionality of the appliance may be impaired if
you use the wrong quantity of fabric softener, detergent, care product or
cleaning agent. Follow the dosage recommenda-
tions from the manufacturer. Exceeding the maximum load capacity impairs the
function of the appliance. Observe the maximum load capa-
city for each programme and do not exceed it. “Programmes”, Page 28 The
appliance is secured for transportation using transit bolts. Transit bolts
which have not been removed may result in material damage and damage to the
appliance. Before starting up the appliance, remove the transit bolts
completely and keep them in a safe place. Before transport, fit the transit
bolts fully in order to prevent damage in transit. Material damage may be
caused if the water inlet hose is connected incorrectly. Tighten the screw
connections on the water inlet until they are handtight. Ideally, connect the
water inlet hose directly to the water tap, without any additional connecting
elements such as adapters, extensions, valves or similar.
Make sure that the valve housing for the water inlet hose does not come into
contact with its surroundings and is not subjected to any external forces.
Ensure that the inner diameter of the water tap is at least 17 mm.
Make sure that the length of the thread on the connection to the water tap is
at least 10 mm.
If the water pressure is too high or too low, the appliance may not be able to
operate properly. Ensure that the water pressure in
the water supply system is at least 100 kPa (1 bar) and max. 1000 kPa (10
bar). If the water pressure exceeds the maximum value specified, a pressure-
reducing valve must be installed between the drinking water connection and the
hose set of the appliance. Do not connect the appliance to the mixer tap of an
unpressurised hot-water boiler. Modified or damaged water hoses may result in
material damage and damage to the appliance. Never kink, crush, modify or cut
through water hoses. Only use the water hoses supplied with the appliance or
genuine spare hoses. Never re-use water hoses that have been used before.
Operating the appliance using water that is dirty or too hot may lead to
material damage and damage to the appliance. Only operate the appliance with
cold mains water. Unsuitable cleaning products may damage the surfaces of the
appliance. Do not use harsh or abrasive detergents.
10
Environmental protection and saving energyen
Do not use cleaning products with a high alcohol content.
Do not use hard scouring pads or cleaning sponges.
Clean the appliance with nothing but water and a soft, damp cloth.
Remove all detergent residue, spray residue or other residues immediately if
they come into contact with the appliance.
3Environmental protection and saving energy
3.1Disposing of packaging
The packaging materials are environmentally compatible and can be recycled.
Sort the individual components by
type and dispose of them separately.
3.2Save energy and conserve resources
If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use less electricity and
less water. Choose programmes with low temperatures and longer wash times and
use maximum load capacity. a Energy consumption and water
consumption is most efficient. detergent based on the laundry’s degree of
soiling. a For light to normal soiling, a smal-
ler amount of detergent is sufficient. Observe the dosage recommendation from
the detergent manufacturer.
Reduce the washing temperature for lightly and normally soiled laundry. a At
lower temperatures, the appli-
ance consumes less energy. For light to normal soiling, lower temperatures
than indicated on the care label are also sufficient.
Set the maximum spin speed if you want to dry the laundry in the tumble dryer
afterwards. a The drier the laundry, the shorter
the programme duration when drying which, in turn, reduces energy consumption.
A higher spin speed reduces the residual moisture in the laundry and increases
the volume of the spin noise.
Wash the laundry without prewash. a Washing with prewash increases
the programme duration and increases energy and water consumption.
The appliance has a continuous automatic load adjustment function. a Depending
on the type of fabric
and load capacity, the continuous automatic load adjustment function optimally
adjusts the water consumption and programme duration.
3.3Energy saving mode
If you do not use the appliance for an extended period, it automatically
switches to energy-saving mode. Energy-saving mode ends when you use the
appliance again.

19.2AQUA-STOP guarantee
In addition to warranty claims against the seller under the purchase agreement
and in addition to our manufacturer’s warranty, we offer compensation under
the following conditions. ¡ If our Aqua-Stop system is defect-
ive and causes water damage, we will make good the damage for private users.
To ensure protection from water damage, the appliance must be connected to the
power supply. ¡ The liability guarantee is valid for the service life of the
appliance. ¡ A claim can only be made under the guarantee if the appliance has
been correctly installed and connected with Aqua-Stop according to our
instructions; this also includes correctly fitting the AquaStop extension
(genuine accessory). Our guarantee does not cover defective supply lines or
fittings up to the Aqua-Stop connection on the tap. ¡ If your appliance is
fitted with Aqua-Stop, you can in principle leave your appliance unattended
during operation and the tap turned on afterwards. The tap only needs to be
turned off if you are away from home for a long period, e.g. on holiday for
several weeks.
