body. Do not pull on the cable.

– Only plug in or disconnect the mains plug if your

hands are dry.

ãWarning!

Risks to children!

– Do not leave children unattended near the washing

machine.

– Children may lock themselves in appliances,

putting their lives at risk.

For appliances that have reached the end of their

service life:

– Disconnect the mains plug.

– Cut through the mains cable and remove complete with

plug.

– Destroy the lock on the lid.

– Children must not perform cleaning or

maintenance work unsupervised.

– Children may become wrapped in packaging/film

or packing parts if allowed to play with them or pull

them over their head and suffocate.

Keep packaging, film and packaging parts out of

the reach of children.

– Detergents and care products may be poisonous if

consumed, or may cause irritation if they come into

contact with the eyes or skin.

Keep detergents and additives out of the reach of

children.

ãWarning!

Risk of explosion!

Items of laundry pretreated with cleaning agents

containing solvents, e.g. stain remover/cleaning

solvent may cause an explosion after being loaded

into the washing machine.

Thoroughly rinse out laundry items in advance by

hand.

ãCaution!

Risk of scalding!

When you are washing at high temperatures, there is

a risk of scalding if you come into contact with hot

water (e.g. if hot water is being drained into a wash

basin or if you have to empty the appliance in the

event of a fault). Allow the water to cool down.

ãCaution!

Protection of the environment

Packaging/Old appliance

Saving tips

ØAlways fill the appliance with the maximum amount of laundry

for the relevant programme.

ØWash normally soiled laundry without a prewash.

ØInstead of the Cottons 90 °C programme, select the

Cottons60°Cprogramme and an option that intensifies the

washing process. Comparable cleaning result with

significantly lower energy consumption.

ØAutomatic switch-off: If the appliance is not operated for a

relatively long period of time, it switches itself off

automatically before the programme start and after the

programme end in order to save energy. To switch the

washing machine back on again, turn the programme

selector to Off/O and then back to the desired programme.

ØIf the laundry is subsequently dried in a tumble dryer, select

the spin speed according to the tumble dryer manufacturer's

instructions.

Information about the EU regulation

In accordance with regulation (EU) 1015/2010, further product

information is provided below. The background to this is the

energy-saving regulations that all appliances sold in the EU must

comply with. A sample energy label is provided with explanations

on a later page in these instructions. The energy label for your

appliance can be found on the side or front of the appliance. The

energy label contains an overview of the specific values of your

appliance.

)Dispose of packaging in an environmentally friendly manner.

This appliance has been identified in accordance with the

European Directive 2002/96/EG on Waste Electrical and

Electronic Equipment (WEEE).

The Directive specifies the framework for an EU-wide valid return

and recycling of waste appliances.

Product information

ØEfficiency test programmes for cotton fabrics

Programmes that are suitable for cleaning normally soiled cotton

fabrics and are the most efficient in terms of their combined

energy and water consumption are contained in the attached

programme table.

Programme setting for testing and energy labelling in accordance

with Directive 2010/30/EU with cold water (15 °C). The

programme temperature information is based on the temperature

stated on the care label for the fabrics. The actual washing

temperature may deviate from the stated programme

temperature for energy-saving reasons.

ØResidual moisture in the laundry

The spin efficiency class of your appliance can be seen on the

energy label. The percentage of residual moisture for the spin

efficiency class in question can be seen in the following table.

Correct selection of detergent

The care label is crucial for the correct selection of detergent,

temperature and treatment of the laundry. See also the website

www.sartex.ch. On the www.cleanright.eu website, you will find

further useful information about detergent, care products and

cleaning agents for domestic use.

Spin efficiency class Residual moisture D in %

A (highest efficiency) D < 45

B 45 ≤D < 54

C 54 ≤D < 63

D 63 ≤D < 72

E 72 ≤D < 81

Environmental protection and tips on economical use

In addition to the information in the instruction manual, you can

lower your costs further and protect the environment by following

the tips below. For light and normal soiling, it is possible to

reduce the energy (lower washing temperature) and detergent.
