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

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
