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.
