In accordance with European Directive 2012/19/UE 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.

lControl

Panel

Use only those detergents and additives which

are designed for automatic washing machines,

especially when using the COTTON

programme. Do not use any agents containing

solvents, as these may damage certain 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 not exceed the recommended maxi-

mum load of washing.

Protect the control panel from water spillage.

king bolts and wait 3 hours before using the appliance

for the rst time.

Important! Incorrect levelling, especially instability,

may cause the washing machine to move around du-

ring operation.
