SAFETY INFORMATION

Before the installation and use of the ap­pliance, carefully read the supplied in­structions. The manufacturer is not re­sponsible if an incorrect installation and
use causes injuries and damages. Always
keep the instructions with the appliance
for future reference.

CHILDREN AND VULNERABLE
PEOPLE SAFETY

WARNING!

Risk of suffocation, injury or per­manent disability.

• Do not let persons, children included,
with reduced physical sensory, reduced
mental functions or lack of experience
and knowledge use the appliance. They
must have supervision or instruction for
the operation of the appliance by a per­son who is responsible for their safety.

• Do not let children play with the appli­ance.

• Keep all packaging away from children.

• Keep all detergents away from children.

• Keep children and pets away from the
appliance door when it is open.

• If the appliance has a child safety de­vice, we recommend you activate it.

CHILD SAFETY DEVICE

• When you activate this device, you can­not close the door. This prevents chil­dren or pets to be closed in the drum.
To activate the device, turn it clockwise,
until the groove is horizontal. To deacti­vate the device, turn it counterclock­wise, until the groove is vertical.

GENERAL SAFETY

• Do not use the appliance for professio­nal use. The appliance is only for do­mestic use.

• Do not change the specifications of this
appliance. There is the risk of injury and
damage to the appliance.

• Do not dry not washed items in the ap­pliance.

• Do not use the drying programme if
you have used industrial chemicals for
cleaning.

• When you load the appliance make
sure that no gas lighters or matches are
accidentally left in the garments pock­ets .

• Wash in hot water with extra detergent
before you dry the items that have
stains of substances such as cooking oil
acetone, petrol, kerosene, spot remov­ers, turpentine, waxes and wax remov­ers .

• Do not dry in this appliance items such
as foam rubber (latex foam), shower
caps, waterproof textiles (if there is no
special drying programme), rubber
backed articles and clothes or pillows
fitted with foam rubber pads.

• Oil-affected items can ignite spontane­ously, especially when exposed to heat
sources such as in a drying programme.
The items become warm, causing an
oxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidation
creates heat. If the heat cannot escape,
the items can become hot enough to
catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing oil­affected items can prevent heat from
escaping and so create a fire hazard.

If you can not avoid that you dry fabrics
that contain vegetable or cooking oil or
products contaminated by hair care,
first wash them in hot water with extra
detergent - this will reduce, but not
eliminate, the hazard.

The final part of the drying programme
occurs without heat (cool down cycle)
to ensure that the items are left at a
temperature that ensures that items will
not be damaged.

• Do not install the appliance behind a
lockable door, a sliding door, a door

with a hinge on the opposite side in
such a way that a full opening of the
door is restricted.

• Fabric softener or equivalent products
must be used as specified by the fabric
softener manufacturer.

• Obey the safety instructions on the de­tergent packaging to prevent burns to
eyes, mouth and throat.

• Plastic items are not heat resistant.
– If you use a detergent ball, remove it

before you set the drying pro­gramme.

– Do not use a detergent ball when

you set a non-stop programme.

WARNING!

Risk of explosion or fire.

• Do not put flammable products or
items that are wet with flammable
products in, near or on the appliance. if
it is not possible to avoid it, fully rinse
with extra water items cleaned with
flammable products.

• To prevent from the risk of self combus­tion do not stop the drying programme
before the end of the drying cycle un­less all items are quickly removed and
spread out so that the heat is dissipa­ted.

WARNING!

Risk of burns!

• When you interrupt the drying pro­gramme, the laundry and the drum may
be hot. Remove the laundry carefully.

• Do not touch the glass of the door
while a programme operates. The glass
can be hot.

FLUFF IN THE FABRICS

During the washing and/or drying phase,
some types of fabric, (sponge, wool,
sweatshirt) could release fluff.
The released fluff could stick to the fabrics
during the next cycle.
This inconvenient increases with technical
fabrics.
To prevent the fluff in your laundry, we
recommend that you:

• To do not wash dark fabrics after you
washed and dried light coloured fabrics
(new sponge, wool, sweatshirt ) and the
contrary.

• To dry this type of fabrics at open air
when they are washed the first time.

• To clean the drain filter.

• After the drying phase, clean the empty
drum, the gasket and the door with a
wet cloth.

To remove the fluff inside the drum, set
a special programme:

• Empty the drum.

• Clean the drum, the gasket and the
door with a wet cloth.

• Set the rinse programme.

HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

THE LAUNDRY LOAD

• Divide the laundry in: white, coloured,
synthetics, delicates and wool.

• Obey the washing instructions that are
on the laundry care labels.

• Do not wash together white and col­oured items.

• Some coloured items can discolour with
the first wash. We recommend that you
wash them separately for the first times.

• Button up pillowcases, close zippers,
hooks and poppers. Tie up belts.

• Empty the pockets and unfold the
items.

• Turn inside out multilayered fabrics,
wool and items with painted illustra­tions.

• Remove hard stains.

• Wash with a special detergent heavy
soil stains.

• Be careful with the curtains. Remove
the hooks or put the curtains in a wash­ing bag or pillowcase.

• Do not wash in the appliance :
– Laundry without hems or with cuts
– Underwired bras.
– Use a washing bag to wash small

items.

• A very small load can cause balance
problems with the spin phase. If this oc­curs, adjust manually the items in the
tub and start the spin phase again.

STUBBORN STAINS

For some stains, water and detergent is
not sufficient.
We recommend that you remove these
stains before you put the items in the ap­pliance.
Special stain removers are available. Use
the special stain remover that is applica­ble to the type of stain and fabric.

DETERGENTS AND ADDITIVES

• Only use detergents and additives spe­cially made for washing machines.

• Do not mix different types of deter­gents.

• To help the environment, do not use
more than the correct quantity of deter­gent.

• Obey the instructions that you find on
the on packaging of these products.

• Use the correct products for the type
and colour of the fabric, the pro­gramme temperature and the level of
soil.

• If you use liquid detergents, do not set
the prewash phase.

• If your appliance has not the detergent
dispenser with the flap device, add the
liquid detergents with a dosing ball.

WATER HARDNESS

If the water hardness in your area is high
or moderate, we recommend that you use
a water softener for washing machines. In
areas where the water hardness is soft it is
not necessary to use a water softener.
To know the water hardness in your area,
contact your local water authority.
Obey the instructions that you find on the
packaging of the products.
Equivalent scales measure the water hard­ness:

• German degrees (°dH).

• French degrees (°TH).

• mmol/l (millimol for each litre - interna­tional unit for the hardness of water).

• Clarke degrees.

DESCALING

The water we use contains limescale. If it
becomes necessary, use a water softener
to remove limescales.
Use a special product made for washing
machines. Obey the instructions that you
find on the packaging of the manufactur­er.
Do this separately from the laundry wash.

EXTERNAL CLEANING

Clean the appliance only with soap and
warm water. Fully dry all the surfaces.

DOOR SEAL

CAUTION!

Do not use alcohol, solvents or
chemical products.

MAINTENANCE WASH

With the low temperature programmes it
is possible that some detergent stays in
the drum. Make regularly a maintenance
wash. To do this:

• Empty the laundry from the drum.

• Set the hottest cotton wash programme

• Use a correct quantity of powder deter­gent with biological properties.

After each wash, keep the door open for a
while to prevent mould and to let un­pleasant smells go out.

Regularly examine the seal and remove all
objects from the inner part.

DRUM

Regularly examine the drum to prevent
limescale and rust particles.
Only use special products to remove rust
particles from the drum.

To do this:

• Clean the drum with special product for
stainless steel.

• Start a short programme for cotton at
the maximum temperature with a small
quantity of detergent.
