Warnings
The following warnings are provided in the interests of overall safety. You must read them carefully before installing or using the appliance.
General safety
•In the event of a fault, do not attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause damage.
•If repairs are needed, contact an authorised service centre and ask for genuine spare parts.
•This appliance is designed to be used by adults. Children must not be allowed to touch the controls or play with the product.
•Pets sometimes climb into washing machines. Check the drum before each use.
Installation
•All internal packing must be removed before using the appliance. Serious damage may be caused to the machine or adjacent furniture if the protective transit devices are not removed or are not completely removed. Refer to the relevant paragraph in the instruction book.
•Any electrical work required to install this appliance must be carried out by a qualified electrician.
•Any plumbing work required to install this appliance must be carried out by a qualified plumber.
•After having installed the machine, check that it is not standing on its electrical supply cable.
•If the appliance is placed on a carpeted floor, ensure that air can circulate freely between the adjustable feet and the floor.
Use
•This appliance is designed for domestic use. It must not be used for purposes other than those for which it was designed.
•Only wash fabrics which are designed to be machine washed. Follow the instructions on each garment label.
•Do not overload the appliance. Follow the instructions in the instruction book.
•Make sure that all pockets are empty. Objects such as coins, safety pins, pins and screws can cause extensive damage.
•Do not machine wash garments saturated with petroleum, methylated spirits, trichlorethylene, etc. If such fluids have been used to remove stains prior to washing, wait until they have completely evaporated from the fabric before placing garments in the appliance.
•Place small items such as socks, belts, etc. in a cloth bag or pillowcase to prevent them getting trapped between the drum and the tub.
•Use only the recommended quantities of fabric softener. An excessive amount could damage the laundry.
•Leave the porthole door slightly ajar when the appliance is not in use. This preserves the door seal and prevents the formation of musty smells.
•Always check that water has emptied out before opening the door. If not, drain the water following the instructions in the instruction book.
•Always unplug the appliance and shut the water tap after use.

Child safety
•Children are often not aware of the dangers of electrical appliances. When the machine is working, children should be carefully supervised and not allowed to play with the appliance.
•The packaging components (e.g. plastic film, polystyrene) can be dangerous to children - suffocation! Keep them out of children’s reach.
•Keep all detergents in a safe place out of children’s reach.
•When the appliance is to be scrapped, pull the plug out of the socket, cut off the electrical supply cable and destroy the plug with the remaining cable. Disable the door catch in order to prevent children from becoming trapped inside while playing.

Tips for environmental protection
To save water, energy and to help protect the environment, we recommend that you follow these tips:
•Normally soiled laundry may be washed without prewashing in order to save detergent, water and time (the environment is protected too!).
•The machine works more economically if it is fully loaded.
•When small loads are washed, use only half to two thirds of the recommended amount of detergent.
•Measure out detergent according to the water hardness, the degree of soiling and the quantity of laundry being washed.

Installation
Unpacking
All transit bolts and packing must be removed before using the appliance.
You are advised to keep all transit devices so that they can be refitted if the machine ever has to be transported again.
1.Using a spanner, unscrew and remove the rear right-hand bolt and lay the machine on its back, taking care not to squash the hoses. This can be avoided by placing one of the corner packing pieces between the machine and the floor.
