  • Do not dry unwashed items in the appliance.

    CAUTION: Never stop the appliance before the end of the drying cycle, unless all the items are quickly removed and spread out to dissipate the heat.
    CAUTION: The power to the appliance must not pass through an external switch, like a timer, or be connected to a circuit that is regularly turned on and off by the utility provider.

  • This appliance is only intended for household use.

  • It is not suitable for use in similar applications such as:
    – Kitchen areas reserved for staff in stores, offices and other professional environments.
    – Farms and use by guests in hotels, motels and other residential environments.

  • The appliance must not be installed behind a locking door, a sliding door or a door with a hinge on the side opposite that of the appliance, thus preventing the appliance from fully opening

Additional instructions

  • The ECO 40-60 programme is suitable for washing normally soiled cotton laundry, that is washable at 40°C or 60°C, in the same cycle. It is used to assess the appliance’s compliance with the European ecodesign legislation.

  • The most efficient programmes in terms of energy and water consumption are usually those that run at low temperatures for a longer period of time.

  • The “wash and dry” programme is suitable for washing normally soiled cotton laundry, which is washable at 40°C or 60°C, in the same cycle, and for drying this laundry so that it can be immediately tidied away. It is used to assess the appliance’s compliance with the European ecodesign legislation.

  • Loading the household washing machine to the maximum capacity for each programme, as recommended in the appliance’s instructions, helps to save energy and water.

  • Follow the recommendations regarding the recommended types of washing powder for the different washing programmes and temperatures specified in the appliance’s instructions.

  • If the powder or liquid washing product or additive (fabric softener, etc.) appears to be too compact or too thick after prolonged storage, break up the powder, or dilute the washing liquid with clean water, before pouring it into the appropriate compartment of the appliance so as not to obstruct the compartment and prevent any overflow when the water is added.

  • The washing powder or additive must be chosen according to the washing temperature to guarantee optimum performance while consuming the least energy (water and electricity).

  • The noise level and residual humidity depend on the spin speed.
    The higher the spin speed during the spinning phase, the louder the noise and the lower the residual humidity level.

  • For more information on the energy labelling of the appliance, please refer to the product information sheet on the leaflet attached to the instructions as well as in the EPREL product database (European Product Database for Energy Labelling) of the European Commission available using the QR code of the energy label version 2019/2014 supplied with the appliance or by entering the 6-digit product code separated by a space by the appliance reference under the website:  https://eprel.ec.europa.eu/
