This appliance is tagged in accordance with European Directive 2002/96/EC on

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment - WEEE.

This directive contains the regulations governing the collection and recycling of de-

commissioned appliances throughout the European Union.

The symbol of the rubbish bin with a line through it on the appliance or its packag-

ing indicates that the product must be disposed of separately from other waste at

the end of its life cycle. The user is thus obliged to consign scrapped appliances to

the special electronic and electrotechnical waste disposal centres, or return them to

the dealer on purchase of a similar new appliance, on a one-to-one basis.

Consignment to the appropriate facility for environmentally responsible recycling,

treatment and disposal helps to prevent any negative effects on the environment

and health, and encourages the reuse and/or recycling of the appliance’s compo-

nent materials.

Illegal dumping of the appliance by the user will be subject to prosecution under the

relevant law.

READ THE INSTRUCTIONS

ATTENTION!

You are advised to read all the instructions in this manual carefully; it will in-

form you

about the right conditions for the proper, safe use of your washing

machine.

It is very important to keep this instruction manual with the appliance for fu-

ture reference.

In the even

t of sale or transfer, ensure that the manual always accompanies

the appliance, to provide the necessary information about its use.

1. PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFETY AND USE

ATTENTION!

These precautions are detailed for reasons of safety.

This section must be read carefully before installation and use.

Disposing of packaging

 Never leave packaging residues unattended in the home. Separate waste

packaging materials by type and consign them to the nearest recycling cen-

tre.

 Packaging materials (plastic bags, polystyrene, etc.) must not be left within

reach of children.

Disposing of old appliances

 Once no longer in use, the appliance must be rendered unusable:

permanently disarm the lock on the door (this will prevent children

risking their lives by locking themselves inside during play) and cut

the power supply lead after removing the plug from the socket.

The appliance must be delivered to a recycling facility.

Environmental protection

 Use the whole of the maximum recommended capacity. Never exceed the

maximum permitted load.

 Do not use the prewash function for lightly or normally soiled items.

 Follow the manufacturer's recommendations on detergent usage.

 Use the highest spin speed permitted for the fabric type. Fast spins reduce

the drying time and thus energy consumption.

 Programs that work with lower temperatures are the most efficient in

terms of energy consumption. We therefore recommend that you to make a

note of the information on the labels on the items to be washed and provided

by the manufacturer. This will mean that the temperatures and detergent

doses will be optimized to avoid excessive energy consumption"

 It is recommended to follow the instructions provided in the manual, and

those provided by the manufacturers of the detergents, softeners and addi-

tives (solvents, degreasers, stain remover additives…) for their correct use

and dosage. Failure to comply with the recommendations provided may

damage the appliance.

 Information on household detergents, additives and cleaning agents can

be found on the following website www.cleanright.eu.

 WARNING: the higher the spin speed, the higher will be the noise and

the lower the remaining moisture content. The lower the amount of residual

moisture at the end of the wash, the lower the energy consumption will be

during drying."

Safety instructions

 This appliance is intended for domestic use and is compliant with Directives

72/23/EEC and 89/336/EEC (including Directives 92/31/EEC and

93/68/EEC) currently in force.
