    Your New Washing Machine
    Your new washing machine, which is fitted with the New Jet System, meets all modern
    requirements for effective treatment of laundry with low water, energy and detergent
    consumption. 
    Even small loads are washed “economically” because the amount of water used is regulated
    automatically according to the load and type of fabric.
    ●Automatic cooling of the wash water to 60°C
    before draining, with the 95°C programme. This
    reduces thermal shock to fabrics, helping to prevent
    creasing.
    ●The special wool programmewith its new delicate
    wash system treats your woollens with extreme care.
    ●The balance control deviceensures that the
    washing machine remains stable when spinning.
    Ecological hints
    To save water and energy and help protect the
    environment, we recommend that you follow these
    hints:
    ●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.
    ●Measure out detergent according to the water
    hardness, the degree of soiling and the quantity of
    laundry being washed.
    In the interest of the
    environment
    ●Materials marked with the symbol  are
    recyclable. 
    ●Check with your local Council or Environmental
    Health Office to see if there are facilities in your area
    for re-cycling this appliance.
    ●When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the
    power supply cable and make the door lock device
    unusable to prevent young children from being
    trapped inside.
    ●Help to keep your country tidy - use authorised
    disposal sites for your old appliance. 
    The symbol  on the product or on its packaging
    indicates that this product may not be treated as
    household waste. Instead it shall be handed over to
    the applicable collection point for the recycling of
    electrical and electronic equipment. By ensuring this
    product is disposed of correctly, you will help
    prevent potential negative consequences for the
    environment and human health, which could
    otherwise be caused by inappropriate waste handling
    of this product. For more detailed information about
    recycling of this product, please contact your local
    city office, your household waste disposal service or
    the shop where you purchased the product.
    How do we help to protect the environment?
    We use recycled paper!
    Important
    Your machine is fitted with a balance control device, which ensures the machine is stable during the spin. 
    If the wash load appears not to have been spun sufficiently at the end of the wash cycle, because it is not evenly
    distributed in the drum, the balance control device may have operated. It will therefore be necessary to redistribute the
    wash load manually and select a spin programme. For more detailed information see the section headed “Something
    Not Working”.
