YOUR NEW WASHING MACHINE

This new washing machine meets all
requirements for a modern washing of laundry
with reduced consumption of water, energy and
detergent.

■

The temperature selector dial allows you to
choose personally the suitable washing
temperature for your laundry.

■

The automatic cooling of the washing water
from 95°C to 60°C before draining will
prevent plastic pipes of your drainage system
from being deformed.

■

The unbalance detection device prevents
vibration during spinning.

Ecological hints

In order to obtain water and energy savings and

to protect the environment, we advice you to
follow these instructions:

■

Whenever possible, wash the maximum load
for the selected programme, without
overloading the drum.

■

Use a programme with prewash only for
heavy soiled items.

■

Measure out detergent according to the water
hardness, degree of soiling and quantity of
laundry being washed.

■

Select “Quick Wash” for lightly soiled laundry.

Environment protection

■

Washing machine scrapping

When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off
the power supply cable and make the door
closing device inoperative to avoid it becoming a
death trap for a child.

For correct disposal of the machine, contact
your local authority department which provides
for collection of urban solid refuse.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

It is important that this instruction book be kept with the appliance for future reference. If you sell or
give the appliance away, make sure that the book is passed to the new owners so that they can
familiarise themselves with its operation and relevant warnings.

The following warnings are provided in the interests of overall safety. You must read them carefully
before installing or using the appliance.

■

Installation

■

When unpacking the appliance, check that it
is not damaged. If in doubt, do not use it and
contact the Service Centre.

■

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.

■

Do not overload the appliance. Follow the
instructions in the instruction book.

■

Only wash fabrics which are designed to be
machine washed. Follow the instructions on
each garment label.

■

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.

Service/repair

■

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.

Safety

■

This appliance is designed to be used by
adults. Children must not be allowed to touch
the controls or play with the product.

■

During high temperature wash cycles the glass
door becomes very hot. Do not touch it.

■

Pets sometimes climb into washing
machines. Check the drum before each use.

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.

2. Release the two plastic bags by removing the
adhesive strip.

3. Carefully remove the right-hand bag (1) then
the left-hand bag (2) by pulling them towards
the centre of the machine.

4. Set the machine upright and remove the two
remaining bolts from the back.

5. Pull out the three plastic spacers from the
holes into which the bolts were fitted.

6. Plug the open holes with the plugs which you
will find in the plastic bag containing the
instruction booklet.

Positioning

Install the machine on a flat hard floor.
Make sure that air circulation around the
machine is not impeded by carpets, rugs etc.
Check that the machine does not touch the wall
or other kitchen units.
Carefully level by screwing the adjustable feet in
or out. Never place cardboard, wood or similar
materials under the machine to compensate for
any unevenness in the floor.
