ECOLOGY IN PRACTICE

For many years, Fagor has consistently pursued pro-ecological policy.
Concern for the environment is as important for us as the use of modern technology.
The development of technology has enabled our factories to become more environmentally friendly–we use less and less water, and electricity, and less wastewater, and solid waste is generated in the production.
A lot of attention is paid to materials used in production. We strive to use only those that do not contain harmful substances and make recycling and safe disposal possible after use.

UNPACKING

** During transportation, protective packaging was used to protect the appliance against any damage. After unpacking, please dispose of all elements of packaging in a way that will not cause damage to the environment.
All materials used for packaging the appliance are environmentally friendly; they are 100% recyclable and are marked with the appropriate symbol.
Important!** Packaging materials (bags, polyethylene, polystyrene, etc.) should be kept away from children during unpacking.

DISPOSAL OF OLD APPLIANCE

In accordance with European Directive 2012/19/EU and local legislation regarding used electrical and electronic goods, this appliance is marked with the symbol of the crossed-out waste container. This marking indicates 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 the waste collection center collecting used electrical and electronic goods. The collectors, including local collection points, shops, and local authority departments provide recycling schemes.
Proper handling of used electrical and electronic goods helps avoid environmental and health hazards resulting from the presence of dangerous components and the inappropriate- ate storage and processing of such goods.

PRACTICAL TIPS ON WASHING

DETERGENTS AND LAUNDRY ADDITIVES
It is recommended to use a general-purpose laundry detergent powder or liquid for the full range of temperatures according to the manufacturer’s instructions on the detergent packaging.

1. Detergents
   • Pour the detergent into the drawer compartment marked
   • Pour the pre-wash detergent into the drawer compartment marked

2. Liquid detergents
   • Install the tab supplied in the compartment
   • Pour liquid detergent into the drawer compartment marked

3. Fabric softeners were added to the rinse
   • Pour the fabric softener into the drawer compartment marked
   • Do not exceed the maximum level marked on the drawer compartment. This detergent will be used for the final rinse.

For washing whites, it is recommended to use washing powder. Liquid detergents do not contain bleach. Do not use rinse aid with white laundry, as this may cause yellowing of laundry.
FIRST WASH
Before washing for the first time, put the appliance through one high- temperature cycle without a load, according to the following procedure:

1. connect the washing machine to the power supply,
2. open the water valve,
3. set the program selector dial to washing at high temperature, add a suitable detergent, and press Start/Pause.

SOIL

1. Stubborn stains
   • Before washing underwear, apply an additional stain remover according to the instructions for use.

2. Heavy soil
   • in order to achieve a better result, wash less laundry,
   • and add more detergent.
   • Rinse the washing machine after washing heavily soiled garments (e.g. work clothes) or clothing that loses fibers. To do this, run the wash cycle at 60°C, for example, Cotton or Synthetics without any load.

3. Light soil
   • See Conservation.

CONSERVATION
Reduce energy and water consumption

• Garments that are only lightly soiled should be washed on the Rapid Wash setting.
• For most programs, the washing machine detects load.
• For partial load, when using the Cotton program, the appliance will reduce water and energy consumption and shorten the wash cycle.
• The most energy and water-efficient wash programs are generally those that run at lower temperatures and for a long time.
• Loading the washing machine to the full capacity indicated by the manufacturer for the respective wash programs will save energy and water.

WATER HARDNESS

• Hard water causes scale deposition. Information about water hardness is available from the nearest water works. We recommend that you use a water softener for each washing.

POWER OUTAGE (PROGRAMME MEMORY)

• A power outage or unplugging of the appliance does not cancel the set program. The program is memorized and resumes when power is restored. Do not open the appliance doors during a power outage.

LOAD

• Maximum drum capacity 7 kg.
• Load the laundry into the drum according to the following instructions:
  1). cotton, denim, children’s clothes – max full drum (do not force clothes into the drum as this will reduce the quality of the wash),
  2). Synthetics – max ½ of the drum,
  3). wool, silk, delicate fabrics – of the drum.

Do not overload the appliance. Overloading the appliance may damage the clothes being washed! If you overload the appliance the OVL shown appears on the display — remove excess laundry from the drum and restart the washing machine. The maximum load amounts depending on the program are given in the table of programs.
LOAD DISTRIBUTION CONTROL

• The appliance features a load distribution control system.
  Before spinning, this checks the distribution of clothes inside the drum. In the event that too great an imbalance is detected, the system makes several attempts to rearrange the clothes inside the appliance. Sometimes these attempts to distribute the load are not successful. Problems may be caused by terrycloth robes washed together with other types of laundry, such as bed sheets that formed a bundle around other items of laundry.

• The system may then respond in two ways:
  1). accept the uneven distribution of garments and reduce spin speed,
  2). cancel the spinning.
  In both cases, after washing, open the door of the washing machine, manually wash the laundry, close the door and select any program.

DOOR LOCK
The washing machine is equipped with a lock that prevents the door from being opened during the wash cycle. Once a wash cycle is complete, the door lock is automatically released.
If there is water in the drum or it is still hot you will not be able to open the door. Opening the door is not possible during some wash cycle stages.
DELICATE FABRICS

1. Select Programme
   Select the appropriate wash program: Synthetics, Wool, Delicates.

2. Load
   Avoid overloading the washing machine — the maximum load is 2.5 kg for delicate fabrics, see “Loading.”

ADD DETERGENT

1. Not enough detergent
   the laundry turns grey, lumps of fat form, and limescale is deposited.

2. Too much detergent
   A lot of foam, ineffective washing, and detergent incompletely rinsed from fabrics.
