YOUR NEW WASHING MACHINE

This new washing machine meets all
requirements for  a modern washing of laundry
with reduced consumption of water, energy and
detergent.

The temperature selector dial 

allows you to

choose personally the suitable washing
temperature for your laundry.

The automatic cooling 

of the washing water

from 95°C to 60°C before draining will prevent
plastic pipes of your drainage system from
being deformed.

Ecological hints

I

n order to obtain water and energy savings and

to protect the environment, we advice you to
follow these instructions:

Whenever possible, wash the maximum load
for the selected programme, without
overloading the drum.

Use a programme with prewash only for heavy
soiled items.

Measure out detergent according to the water
hardness, degree of soiling and quantity of
laundry being washed.

Select “Quick wash” for lightly soiled laundry.
