Precautions and advice

• This appliance can be used by children aged

from 8 years and above and persons with re-

duced physical, sensory or mental capabilities

or lack of experience and knowledge if they

have been given supervision or instruction

concerning use of the appliance in a safe

way and understand the hazards involved.

Children shall not play with the appliance.

the appliance from the electricity socket. Pull the

plug out yourself.

• 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 openings.

• In the event of a malfunction, do not under any

circumstances touch internal parts in order to

attempt repairs.

• Before loading your laundry into the washing

machine, make sure the drum is empty.

Disposal

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”

pliance manufacturers are active in the creation of systems

to manage the collection and disposal of old appliances.

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 technology, your washing ma-

chine only needs less than half the amount of water to get the

best results: an objective reached to respect the environment.

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 envi-

ronment: despite being biodegradable, detergents do contain

• 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.

1) Test wash cycle in compliance with directive 1061/2010: set wash cycle with a temperature of 60°C.

This cycle is designed for cotton loads with a normal soil level and is the most efficient in terms of both electricity and water consumption; it should be used for garments

which can be washed at 60°C. The actual washing temperature may differ from the indicated value.

The balancing attempts may extend the total duration of the cycle, up to a maximum of 10 minutes.
