In accordance with European Directive 2012/19/UE and Polish legislation regarding used electrical and electronic goods, this appliance is marked with the symbol of the crossed-out waste container.

The user is obliged to hand it over to a waste collection centre collecting used electrical and electronic goods. The collectors, including local collection points, shops and local authority departments provide recycling schemes. Proper handling of used electrical and electronic goods helps to avoid

environmental and health hazards resulting from the presence of dangerous components and the inappropriate storage and processing of such goods.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Never clean the product's casing or plastic parts using solvents or strong, abrasive cleaning agents (e.g. washing powders or creams)! Only use delicate liquid cleaning agents and soft

cloths. Do not use sponges.

Clean the pump filter every 20 washes or so.

Neglecting to clean the filter causes difficulties in emptying the machine of water!

I. Cleaning and purifying agents

It is recommended to use powder or liquid general purpose detergents for all temperatures in a range as per the detergent Producer's recommendations indicated on the product packaging.

Detergents

Liquid detergents

• Install the supplied partition in the compartment (figure below).
• Pour liquid detergent into the drawer compartment marked

Fabric softeners added to the rinse

●Pour the fabric softener into the drawer compartment marked
- Do not exceed the maximum level marked on the drawer compartment. This detergent will be used for the final rinse.

II. First wash

Before washing for the first time, put it through one high temperature cycle without a load, according to the following procedure:

• Connect the washing machine to the electricity mains
  ●Turn on the water valve
• Set the programme selector knob to high temperature wash.
• Add the appropriate detergent and press the [Start/ Pause] button.

III. Soil

Stubborn stains

Before washing garments, apply an additional stain remover according to the instructions for use

Heavily soiled:

●One-off washing of smaller amounts of clothes
- Add more detergent
●After washing heavily soiled clothes (e.g. working clothes) or garments which are shedding fibres, it is recommended that the washing machine is rinsed out by running a programme cycle at a temperature of 60^ C, e.g. COTTON, without a load. Lightly soiled:

Reducing energy and water consumption

Garments which are only lightly soiled should be washed using the appropriate wash programme, i.e. ULTRA SHORT The washing machine detects partial load. For partial load, when using the Towels and Cotton programmes, washing machine will reduce water and energy consumption and shorten the wash cycle.

V. Water hardness

Hard water causes sediment to form.

Information about water hardness is available from your nearest water works.

It is advised that water softeners are used for every wash.

VI. Power cut (programme memory)

Power cuts or unplugging the machine does not cancel the setting. This has been memorised and the cycle will continue once the power is restored. Do not open the doors of the washing machine during a power cut.

VII. Loading

Maximum drum capacity 9 kg:

Load the washing into the drum according to the following instructions:

- cotton, denim, children's clothes – max full drum (do not force clothes into the drum as this will reduce the quality of the wash!).

●synthetics - max 1/2 drum

- wool, silk, delicate fabrics - max. approx. 1/3 of the drum.

Important! Do not overload the machine! Overloading the machine may cause damage to the clothes being washed!

The maximum load amounts depending on the program are given in table of programs.

VIII. Even load distribution control

The electronic control device includes a load distribution control system. In the event that the system detects uneven distribution of load in the drum, the washing machine will try to relocate it. Sometimes the trials will not be sufficient for the proper location of the clothes (in the case of frotte dressing gowns washed with other types of clothes, ball-shaped sheets which closes several objects inside it). The system may react in the following way:

• it may accept the uneven distribution of clothes but will decrease the spin speed
• it may not allow spinning as the clothes are distributed unevenly.)

In both cases, after the wash is over, open the door of the washing machine, place the laundry manually, close the door and select the spin programme again.

IX. Door interlock	The washing machine is equipped with an interlock which prevents the door from being opened during washing. Once a washing cycle is complete, the door interlock is automatically released.In order to open the door during the wash program, press PAUSE button and wait to unlock the door.IMPORTANT! If the temperature inside the drum is high, the door may remain blocked until the water temperature has dropped below 60°C.IMPORTANT! Before opening the door of the washing machine check whether there is water in the drum.
X. Delicate fabrics	Programme:Select the appropriate wash programme (WOOL, HAND WASH)Loading:Do not overload the machine, max 1/3 of the drum, see Loading.
XI. Dosing	According to the cleaning agent manufacturer's instructions.Too little cleaning agentThe washing turns grey.Lumps of grease form, sediment builds up.Too much cleaning agentStrong foaming.Ineffective washing, detergent incompletely rinsed from fabrics.
