Warnings:

• After a programme is completed, wait for two minutes before opening the door.
• Check whether the water inside the drum has been drained before opening the door. Do not  open the door if there is any water.
• Do not wash only one piece of clothes or garment, as these could unbalance the washing machine. Always introduce at least 3 or 4 clothes so that draining can be done smoothly.
• For a better efficiency and water and energy save, we recommend filling two thirds of the drum with laundry.
• The information given for the programmes different to the eco 40-60 programme are just indicative.
• The eco 40-60 programme can clean normally soiled cotton clothes declared as washable at 40ºC or 60ºC, together in the same cycle. This programme is used to assess compliance with EU eco-design legislation.
• The times indicated for each programme match the length with standard loads and temperatures. Other loads and temperatures will need different programme length.
• The most efficient programmes in terms of energy consumption are generally those that are carried out at lower temperatures and longer length.
• Load the washing machine to the quantity estimated for each programme, this will help you save energy and water.
• The length, and energy and water consumption of each programme may vary according to the weight and type of laundry, the additional functions active, water and room temperature.
• It is recommended the use of liquid detergent for washing programmes at low temperature. You can vary the quantity of detergent according to the quantity of laundry and its soilinglevel. Follow the detergent manufacturer recommendations for the quantity of detergent you must use.
• Noise and remaining moisture level depend on the spin speed. The higher the spin speed, the higher the noise and the lower the remaining moisture level.
• You can access the product database where the information for this model is stored by scanning the QR code of the reference of your product (you will also find the energy label).
