Precautions and advice

! The washing machine was designed and built in complian-

ce with the applicable international safety regulations. The

following information is provided for your safety and should

consequently be read carefully.

General safety

• This appliance has been designed for non-

professional, household use and its functions must

not be changed.

• 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.

Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be

made by children without supervision.

• This washing machine should only be used by

adults and in accordance with the instructions

provided in this manual.

• Never touch the washing machine when barefoot

or with wet or damp hands or feet.

• Do not pull on the power supply cable to unplug

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.

• Always keep children well away from the

appliance while in operation.

• 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.

Disposal

The European Directive 2012/19/EU 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 opti-

mise 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 re-

minds you of your obligation, that when you dispose of the

appliance it must be separately collected.

Consumers may take their old appliance to public waste

collection areas, other communal collection areas, or if na-

tional legislation allows return it to a retailer when purchasing

a similar new product.

All major household appliance 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.

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 envi-

ronment: 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 Delay Timer 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.
