In accordance with European Directive 2002/96/EC and Polish legislation regarding

used electrical and electronic goods, this appliance is marked with the symbol of the

crossed-out waste container.

This marking means that the appliance must not be disposed of together with other

household waste after it has been used. The user is obliged to hand it over to a waste

collection centre collecting used electrical and electronic goods. The collectors, inclu-

ding local collection points, shops and local authority departments provide recycling

schemes. Proper handling of used electrical and electronic goods helps to avoid

environmental and health hazards resulting from the presence of dangerous components and the

inappropriate storage and processing of such goods.

BASIC INFORMATION

From today, washing will be easier than ever before. The Amica washing machine combines

exceptional ease of use with excellent effectiveness. Once you have read the instructions,

operating the washing machine will not be a problem.

Before being packed and leaving the factory, the safety and functions of this washing machine

were carefully tested. These tests may have resulted in some damp or traces of water being

left inside the machine.

We ask you to read the User Manual carefully before switching on the appliance. Following

the directions in this manual will protect you from any misuse.

Keep this User Manual and store it near at hand. The instructions should be followed carefully

to avoid any unfortunate accidents.

Important!

This washing machine is intended for purely domestic use to wash textiles and clothes

which are designed to be machine washed in a detergent bath.

Before plugging the washing machine into the mains, remove the safety packaging and

ensure the machine is level.

The manufacturer reserves the right to introduce changes which do not affect the operation

of the appliance.

lThe machine should only be used after the instructions below have been read carefully.

lNever use the machine outdoors or anywhere the temperature may fall below freezing.

lThe machine should not be operated by children or anyone who has not read the instruc-

tions.

Important! Temperatures below 0°C can damage the washing machine! In the event of the

machine being stored or transported in sub-zero temperatures, it should be left to acclimatise

Manufacturer’s Declaration

The manufacturer hereby declares that this product meets the requirements of the follo-

wing European directives:

lLow Voltage Directive 2014/35/EC,

lElectromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Directive 2004/30/EC

parts of the machine, or cause them to emit poisonous gases. There may

also be a risk of ignition and explosion.

Ensure no unwanted objects are put inside the appliance. Completely

empty all pockets in the clothing to be washed and fasten buttons and

zips. Place small, loose objects in a washing bag, or inside a pillow case,

as they may be destroyed or else damage the drum or internal tank. Do
