Precautions and advice
! The machine was designed and built in compliance with
the applicable international safety regulations. The
following information is provided for your safety and should
consequently be read carefully.
General safety
• The washing machine should only be used by adults
and in accordance with the instructions provided in this
manual.
• Never touch the machine when barefoot or with wet or
damp hands or feet.
• Do not pull on the power cable to unplug the appliance
from the electricity socket. Pull the plug out.
• Do not open the detergent dispenser while the appliance
is in operation.
• Do not touch the drain water as it could reach very high
temperatures.
• Never force the washing machine door: this could
damage the safety lock mechanism designed to prevent
any accidental opening.
• In the event of a malfunction, do not under any
circumstances touch internal parts in order to attempt
repairs.
• Always keep children well away from the appliance
while in operation.
• The appliance door tends to get quite hot during the
wash cycle.
• Should it have to be moved, proceed with the help 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 your laundry into the washing machine,
make sure the drum is empty.
Saving energy and respecting the
environment
Environmentally-friendly technology
If you only see a little water through your appliance door,
this is because thanks to the latest Ariston technology,
your washing machine only needs less than half the amount
of water to get the best results: an objective reached to
respect the environment.
Saving on detergent, water, energy and time
• To avoid wasting resources, the washing machine
should always 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 stage is only necessary on extremely
soiled garments. Avoiding it will save on detergent, time,
water and between 5 to 15% less 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 between late in the
afternoon and in the early hours of the morning, you will
help reduce the electricity board's peak load.
• 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.
Disposal
• Disposing of the packaging material:
observe local legislations, so the packaging can be re-
used.
• Disposing of an old machine:
before scrapping your appliance, cut the power supply
cable and remove the appliance door.
Disposal of old electrical appliances
The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical
and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires that 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 in must be
separately collected.
Consumers should contact their local authority
or retailer for information concerning the
correct disposal of their old appliance.
