Protection of the environment
All materials marked with the 
symbol can be recycled. Place them in a waste collection bin provided for this purpose (ask your local municipal services) so that they can be recovered and recycled.
Plastics are identified as follows:
>PE< for polyethylene, for example for the surrounding cover and envelopes containing the documentation;
>PS< for expanded polystyrene, for example packing parts practically free of HCFC.
Cardboard is made from recycled paper and therefore should be discarded in waste paper collection bins.
We recommend that the following instructions should be followed to save water and energy, and therefore contribute to protecting the environment:
-When possible, use full loads rather than partial loads in your washing machine (however do not overload the drum).
-Only use programs with prewash for very dirty washing.
-Adapt the amount of detergent to the water hardness, to the amount of your washing, and how dirty it is.
If you scrap your old washing machine, make sure that you put everything that could be dangerous out of service; cut the power supply cable flush with the washing machine, and prevent the door latch from closing.
Automatic adjustment of water consumption
This automatic adjustment system adapts the water consumption as a function of the quantity and nature of the washing.
If you have an operating problem, refer to the “TROUBLESHOOTING” section. If you need help after having made all these verifications, you should normally call the After Sales Service of the company which sold you the washing machine. If this is impossible (if you have moved, or if the shop in which you bought your washing machine has closed, etc.), please call the Consumer Advice Service which will then inform you of the address of an After Sales Service.
