Precautions and advice

!
The washing machine was designed and built in com-
pliance with the applicable international safety regula-
tions. 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 is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of experience and know-
ledge, unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety. Children should be supervi-
sed to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• 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 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 may take their old appliance to public waste
collection areas, other communal collection areas, or if
national legislation allows return it to a retailer when pur-
chasing 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 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 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 biodegra-
dable, 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 (see page 7) 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.
