The user should always check that they have not left their gas lighter (disposable or otherwise) in their clothing.
Only wash fabrics which are designed to be machine washed. If in doubt, consult the care label on the clothes.
Before washing, ensure that all pockets are empty and buttons and zips are fastened. Avoid washing frayed or torn articles and treat stains such as paint, ink, rust, and grass before washing. Underwired bras must NOT be machine washed.
Any objects such as coins, safety pins, nails, screws, stones or any other hard, sharp material can cause extensive damage and must not be placed into the machine.

Wash small items such as socks, laces, washable belts etc in a washing bag or pillow case as it is possible for such items to slip down between the tub and the inner drum.
Only use the advised quantities of fabric softener. Damage to the fabric can ensue if you over-fill. Refer to the manufacturer’s recommendations of quantities.
As some duvets and eiderdowns should be washed in large commercial machines because of their bulk, please check with the manufacturer of the item before washing in a domestic machine.
Leave the porthole door slightly ajar between washes to preserve the door seal.

Your New Washing Machine
Your new washing machine meets all modern requirements for effective treatment of laundry with low water, energy and detergent consumption.
Automatic cooling of the wash water to 60°C
before draining, with the 90°C programme. This reduces thermal shock to fabrics, helping to prevent creasing.
The special wool programme with its new delicate wash system treats your woollens with extreme care.
The ECO VALVE allows total use of detergent and reduces water consumption so saving energy.
Ecological hints
To save water and energy and help protect the environment, we recommend that you follow these hints:
Adjust the quantity of detergent according to the hardness of your water supply, the amount of laundry and the degree of soiling.
A programme without prewash is sufficient for normally soiled laundry.
The machine works more economically if it is fully loaded.
With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited soiling can be removed; the laundry can then be washed at a lower temperature, so saving energy.
In the interest of the environment
Materials marked with the symbol are recyclable.
Check with your local Council or Environmental Health Office to see if there are facilities in your area for re-cycling this appliance.
When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the power supply cable and make the door lock device unusable to prevent young children from being trapped inside.
Help to keep your country tidy - use authorised disposal sites for your old appliance.
How do we help to protect the environment? We use recycled paper!
Important
Your machine is fitted with a balance control device, which ensures the machine is stable during the spin. If the wash load appears not to have been spun sufficiently at the end of the wash cycle, because it is not evenly distributed in the drum, the balance control device may have operated. It will therefore be necessary to redistribute the wash load manually and select a spin programme. For more detailed information see the section headed "Something Not Working".
