    Environmental protection / Conservation tips– Always fill the washing machine with a maximum amo unt of laundry for the relevant 
    programme.
    – Wash laundry with normal soiling without a pre-wash .
    – Instead of Resistentes/Algod. (Cottons) 90 °C,select the  Resistentes/Algod.
    (Cottons)  60 °Cprogramme and the  jEcoPerfect  additional function. 
    Comparable cleaning result with significantly lower en ergy consumption.
    – Measure the detergent according to the manufacture rs instructions and water 
    hardness.
    – Energy saving mode :The display panel lighting goes out after a few min utes;

    washing machine. 
    Rinse items of laundry thoroughly by hand beforehand.
    Risk of injury – The washing machine door can become very hot. 
    – Be careful when draining hot detergent solution.

    Important information
    Before washing for the first time
    Do not put any laundry in the machine. Turn the tap on.  Pour into compartment II:
    – approx. 1 litrewater
    – detergent (dosage according to the manufacturers instructions  for light soiling and according to water hardness)
    Set programme selector to  Sintéticos (Easy-Care)  60 °Cand press Inicio/Pausa + Carga ( Start/Reload).
    At the end of the programme, turn the programme sel ector to Stop.
    Protecting the laundry and the machine
    – Empty pockets. 
    – Look out for metal items (paperclips, etc.). 
    – Wash delicates in a laundry bag (tights, curtains, u nderwired bras).
    – Fasten zips, do up any buttons. 
    – Brush sand out of pockets and collars. 
    – Remove curtain fittings or place in the laundry bag.
    Load laundry
    – For optimum spin behaviour, load large andsmall items of laundry together.
    – Individual items may lead to considerable imbalance s. 
    – Take care not to trap items of laundry between the w ashing machine door and the rubber seal.
    Soaking                Load laundry of the same colour.
    Pour soaking agent/detergent into compartment IIin accordance with the manufacturers instructions.
    Turn the programme selector to Resistentes/Algod.(Cottons) 30 °Cand press Inicio/Pausa + Carga ( Start/Reload). 
    After approx. 10 minutes, press Inicio/ Pausa + Carga (Start/Reload ) to stop the programme. 
    Once the required soaking time has elapsed, press  Inicio/Pausa + Carga ( Start/Reload) again to continue the pro-
    gramme, or select a different programme.
    Starching               Laundry must not be treated with fabric softener
    Starching is possible in all wash programmes if liqu id starch is used. Pour starch into the~fabric softener com-
    partment in accordance with the manufacturers instruction s (rinse first if necessary).
    Dyeing / bleaching
    Dye should only be used in normal household quantities. Salt may damage stainless steel. Always follow the dye 
    manufacturers instructions. Do notuse the washing machine for bleaching clothes.
    Load display
    The load sensor detects how heavily the washing machi ne is loaded. The laundry is not weighed.
    Recommended dosage
    Based on the selected programme and the detected load , the recommended dosage function provides a recommen-
    dation for the detergent dosage in %. The % figure  refers to the recommendation of the detergent manuf acturer.
    Load adjust
    Independently of the load display, the automatic load sensing function uses additional sensors to adapt the  water and 
    power consumption ideally to each programme, depending  on the type of fabric and the load.
