Warning!

function.
Must Do
Optional
Washing products
• Use washing products designed especially for washing machines:
- Powdered detergents for all kinds of textiles except delicate ones.
For these detergents, we recommend first diluting them with some
water to avoid clogging the detergent pipe causing water to
overflow when washing starts.
- Liquid detergents for all low temperature programmes for all kinds
of textiles or specialist liquid detergents (e.g. for woollens).
• Choose the detergent with care to match the required washing
temperature, to optimise washing while saving water and energy.
Excess dosages may cause poor rinsing and leave residual traces
of detergent. On the other hand, an inadequate dosage may
cause poor washing results.

General information on regulation
EU 2019-2023
• When using the test programmes, wash the specified load using
the maximum spin speed.
• The actual parameters will depend on how the appliance is
used and may differ from the preset parameters.
• This domestic washing machine is equipped with a system for
managing energy consumption. The time spent in the mode left
to run is less than one minute.
• The most effective programs from a power and water
consumption point of view are generally those that run at low
temperature for a longer duration.
• Loading the domestic washing machine to the maximum
capacity stated by the manufacturer for each programme
contributes to saving power and water.
• The noise and remaining moisture content are influenced by the
spin speed: the higher the spin speed during the spin phase,
the higher the noise level and the lower the remaining moisture
content of the laundry.
• To access the data on your model, stored in the product
database in line with regulation (EU) 2019/2014 and data
relating to energy labelling, please connect to the dedicated
website at https://eprel.ec.europa.eu/
Find the reference of your appliance on the website by entering
the service reference shown on the ID plate on your appliance.
Another way to access this information is to flash the QR code
found on the energy label on your product.
