[. . . ] >PE<= polyethylene >PS<= polystyrene >PP<= polypropylene I Ecological hints In order to obtain water and energy savings and Washing machine scrapping to protect the environment, we advice you to follow these instructions: I Whenever possible, wash the maximum load for the selected programme, without overloading the drum. I Use a programme with prewash only for heavy soiled items. I Measure out detergent according to the water hardness, degree of soiling and quantity of laundry being washed. I Select "Quick wash" for lightly soiled laundry. When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the power supply cable and make the door closing device inoperative to avoid it becoming a death trap for a child. [. . . ] If it is too short and you do not wish to move the tap, you will have to purchase a new, longer hose specially designed for this type of use. P1088 P0021 Water drainage The end of the drain hose can be positioned in three ways: Hooked over the edge of a sink using the plastic hose guide supplied with the machine. In this case, make sure the end cannot come unhooked when the machine is emptying. This could be done by tying it to the tap with a piece of string or attaching it to the wall. This branch must be above the trap so that the bend is at least 60 cm above the ground. Directly into a drain pipe at a height of not less than 60 cm and not more than 90 cm. The end of the drain hose must always be ventilated, i. e. the inside diameter of the drain pipe must be larger than the outside diameter of the drain hose. Run it along the floor; only the part near the drainage point must be raised. P0022 P0023 7 Electrical connection This machine is designed to operate on a 220-230 V, single-phase, 60 Hz supply. Check that your domestic electrical installation can take the maximum load required (2. 25 kW), also taking into account any other appliances in use. Connect the machine to an earthed socket. The manufacturer declines any responsibility for damage or injury through failure to comply with the above safety precaution. The choice of detergent will depend on the type of fabric (delicates, woollens, cottons, etc. ), the colour, washing temperature and degree of soiling. All commonly available washing machine detergents may be used in this appliance: ­ powder detergents for all types of fabric, ­ powder detergents for delicate fabrics (60°C max) and woollens, ­ liquid detergents, preferably for low temperature wash programmes (60°C max) for all types of fabric, or special for woollens only. The detergent and any additives must be placed in the appropriate compartments of the dispenser drawer before starting the wash programme. If using concentrated powder or liquid detergents, a programme without prewash must be selected. Pour liquid detergent into the dispenser drawer compartment marked just before starting the programme. Any fabric softener or starching additives must be poured into the compartment marked before starting the wash programme. Follow the product manufacturer's recommendations on quantities to use. 1 2 3 4 soft medium hard very hard 0-15 0- 7 16-25 8-14 26-37 15-21 more than 21 more than 37 11 Normal programmes for cotton and linen Maximum load: 5 kg Progr.
