User information
Water that remained in the pipes will then be evacuated, thus preventing the formation of frost or ice that can damage your washing machine.
The next time you want to use your washing machine, make sure that it is installed in a room in which the temperature is above 0°C.
Scrapping
All materials marked with the 
symbol can be recycled. Put them in a waste tip (ask for information from your municipal offices) so that they can be recovered and recycled.
When you take your washing machine to the tip, make sure that everything that could be dangerous is out of service ; cut the power supply cable flush with the surface of your washing machine.
Protection of the environment
We recommend that the following instructions should be followed to achieve savings in water and energy and therefore to contribute to protection of the environment:
•If possible, use the washing machine at full capacity rather than with partial loads (however, do not overload the drum).
•Only use the Prewash or Soak function for very dirty washing.
•Use a detergent dose adapted to the water hardness (see «propor- tioning of detergents» section) and to the amount of washing and how dirty it is.
