Your washing machine is intended for

Only household use and in a non-commercial environment.

Household use only washing machine-washable textiles

Washing with common cold and hot (maximum

140 °F/60 °C) tap water and commercially available detergents and cleaning products suitable for use in washing machines.

We recommended HE (High efficientcy) detergents because they are designed to deliver optimum performance from your front-loading washer. Not using HE detergent could cause problems such as oversudsing, extended cycle periods, or a decrease in wash performance.

NOTICE: Do not use chlorine bleach!

When measuring all detergents/stain removers/ laundry care products be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions.

The washer can be operated by people with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, and by people with little experience or knowledge if they are supervised or were trained by a responsible person.

Children may not do any laundry without supervision.

Keep pets away from the washer.

Set-up conditions:

Ambient temperature: 32-104 °F/0-40 °C

Relative humidity: under 95%

Installation by qualified installers.

Installation in accordance with all regulatory requirements; if in doubt have the appliance installed by a specialist familiar with these requirements.

Read the use and set-up instructions and all other information included with the washer and act accordingly.

Keep documents for future use.
