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 centre.
•
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.

ad.
•
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.
