Washing machine
185426
Thank you for your condence in purchasing our washing machine, and
congratulations on the excellent choice.
Your new washing machine meets the requirements of modern treatment of
laundry. It is rational in the consumption of energy, water and washing agents.
Our appliances are friendly to the environment. Some of the materials may be
recycled, others deposited or decomposed. To avoid pollution of environment,
once your appliance is no longer useful, take it to your local authorized waste
appliance dealer.
The appliance is intended exclusively for use in households. If the appliance is
used for professional purposes, for prot, or for purposes beyond regular use
in a household, or if appliance is used by a person who is not a consumer, the
warranty period equals the shortest warranty period possible as stipulated by
the relevant legislation.
