. The appliance door tends to get quite hot during the wash cycle. . Should it have to be moved, proceed with the help of two or three people and handle it with the utmost care. Never try to do this alone, because the appliance is very heavy. . Before loading your laundry into the washing machine, make sure the drum is empty. Disposal . Disposing of the packaging material: observe local regulations, so the packaging can be re-used. . Disposing of an old washing machine: before scrapping your appliance, cut the power supply cable and remove the appliance door. Saving energy and respecting the environment Environmentally-friendly technology If you only see a little water through your appliance door, this is because thanks to the latest Ariston technology, your washing machine only needs less than half the amount of water to get the best results: an objective reached to respect the environment. Saving on detergent, water, energy and time . To avoid wasting resources, the washing machine should be used with a full load. A full load instead of two half loads allows you to save up to 50% on energy. . The pre-wash cycle is only necessary on extremely soiled garments. Avoiding it will save on detergent, time, water and between 5 and 15% energy. . Treating stains with a stain remover or leaving them to soak before washing will cut down the need to wash them at high temperatures. A pro gramme at 60°C instead of 90°C or one at 40°C instead of 60°C will save up to 50% on energy. . Use the correct quantity of detergent, depending on the water hardness, how soiled the garments are and the amount of laundry you have, to avoid wastage and to protect the environment: despite being biodegradable, detergents do contain ingredients that alter the natural balance of the environment. In addition, avoid using fabric softener as much as possible. . If you use your washing machine between late in the afternoon and the early hours of the morning, you will help reduce the electricity board’s peak load. The Delay Timer option (see Starting and Programmes) helps to organise your wash cycles accordingly. . If your laundry has to be dried in a tumble dryer, select a high spin speed. Having the least water possible in your laundry will save you time and energy in the drying process.
