including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2. Do not wash articles that have been previously

Do not dry laundry made of especially sensitive
bers (wool, silk), which may shrink or lose shape.

It is not necessary to use a fabric conditioner
when washing the laundry, since drying makes it
soft and tender.

Drying time is much shorter and consequently the
energy consumption lower if laundry is well spun
prior to drying.
