Precautions and tips

This washing machine was designed and constructed in

accordance with international safety regulations. The fol-

lowing information is provided for safety reasons and must

therefore be read carefully.

General safety

• This appliance was designed for domestic use only.

• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (inclu-

ding children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental

capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless

they have been given supervision or instruction concer-

ning use of the appliance by a person responsible for

their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that

they do not play with the appliance.

• The washing machine must only be used by adults, in

accordance with the instructions provided in this manual.

• Do not touch the machine when barefoot or with wet or

damp hands or feet.

• Do not pull on the power supply cable when unplugging

the appliance from the electricity socket. Hold the plug

and pull.

• Do not touch the drained water as it may reach extreme-

ly high temperatures.

• Never force the porthole door. This could damage the

safety lock mechanism designed to prevent accidental

opening.

• If the appliance breaks down, do not under any circum-

stances access the internal mechanisms in an attempt

to repair it yourself.

• Always keep children well away from the appliance while

it is operating.

• If the appliance has to be moved, work in a group of two

or three people and handle it with the utmost care. Never

try to do this alone, because the appliance is very heavy.

• Before loading laundry into the washing machine, make

sure the drum is empty.

Disposal

• Disposing of the packaging materials: observe local

regulations so that the packaging may be re-used.

• The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste

Electrical and Electronic Equipment, requires that

old household electrical appliances must not be

disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste

stream. Old appliances must be collected

separately in order to optimise the recovery and

recycling of the materials they contain and reduce

the impact on human health and the environment.

The crossed out "wheeled bin" symbol on the

product reminds you of your obligation, that when

you dispose of the appliance it must be separately

collected. Consumers should contact their local

authority or retailer for information concerning the

correct disposal of their old appliance.

Saving energy and respecting the envi-

ronment

Saving on detergent, water, energy and time

• To avoid wasting resources, the washing machine

should be used with a full load. A full load instead

of two half loads allows you to save up to 50% on

energy.

• The pre-wash cycle is only necessary on

extremely soiled garments. Avoiding it will save on

detergent, time, water and between 5 and 15%

energy.

• Treating stains with a stain remover or leaving

them to soak before washing will cut down the

need to wash them at high temperatures. A

programme at 60°C instead of 90°C or one at

40°C instead of 60°C will save up to 50% on

energy.

• Use the correct quantity of detergent depending

on the water hardness, how soiled the garments

are and the amount of laundry you have, to avoid

wastage and to protect the environment: despite

being biodegradable, detergents do contain

ingredients that alter the natural balance of the

environment. In addition, avoid using fabric

softener as much as possible.

• If you use your washing machine from late in the

afternoon until the early hours of the morning, you

will help reduce the electricity board's peak load.

The "DELAYED START" option helps to organise

your wash cycles accordingly.

• If your laundry has to be dried in a tumble dryer,

select a high spin speed. Having the least water

possible in your laundry will save you time and

energy in the drying process.
