IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR CORRECT DISPOSAL
OF THE PRODUCT IN ACCORDANCE WITH EC
DIRECTIVE 2002/96/EC.
At the end of its working life, the product must not be disposed of
as urban waste. It must be taken to a special local authority
differentiated waste collection centre or to a dealer providing this
service.
Disposing of a household appliance separately avoids possible
negative consequences for the environment and health deriving
from inappropriate disposal and enables the constituent materials
to be recovered to obtain significant savings in energy and
resources. As a reminder of the need to dispose of household
appliances separately, the product is marked with a crossed-out
wheeled dustbin.
Safety Warnings
• If the plug or cord is damaged, do not connect the
appliance to the mains power supply. If the cord is
damaged it should be replaced by the manufacturer or
appointed service agent in order to avoid a hazard.
• To remove the plug from the socket, pull on the body of
the plug, not the cable.
• Do not plug the appliance in to the mains power supply
with wet or damp hands.
• Never touch the appliance with wet hands or feet.
• Never open the detergent drawer when a programme is
running.
• Never force the appliance door open when a programme
is running.
• Since the appliance can reach high temperatures while
running, do not touch the drain hose or drained water
during draining.
5
• In case of any failure, first unplug the appliance and close
the water tap.
• Repair on this appliance should only be undertaken by
suitably qualified personnel.
• Keep the packing materials away from children to prevent
risk of injury.
• Do not let children play with the washing machine.
• Keep pets away from the appliance.
• The appliance should not be installed on carpeted surfaces
as this can block the air ventilation on the base.
Warnings
To avoid the risk of fire, electric shocks, injury or damage when
using your washing machine, please take the following
precautions:
• Please read all the instructions before using the washing
machine.
• Do not wash items that have previously been cleaned,
washed, soaked or treated with petrol, solvents for dry
cleaning, other inflammable substances or explosives, as
they produce fumes that could catch fire or explode.
• Do not add petrol, solvents for dry cleaning or other
inflammable or explosive substances to the wash water as
they produce fumes that could catch fire or explode.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the washing machine
or try to carry out any type of servicing unless it is
recommended in the maintenance instructions in the
manual.
• Do not climb onto the machine or stand on the open
porthole door.
• Do not use an extension lead or adaptor to connect your
washing machine to the mains supply.
• Follow the washing instructions recommended by the
manufacturer of the garment to be washed.
• Do not turn your washing machine on until you are sure
6
that it has been installed in accordance with the installation
instructions and all the water, drainage, mains electricity
and earth connections meet the local regulations and/or
other applicable regulations.
Important: Ensure that the transit bolts have been removed
prior to using the machine.
Recommendations
• Residues of detergent or softener left in the detergent
drawer for long periods will dry and stick to the detergent
drawer. To prevent this put the detergent and softener into
the detergent drawer just before washing.
• It is recommended that the pre-wash programme should
only be used for very dirty clothes.
• Do not exceed the maximum loading capacity.
• When the machine is not in use, keep the water tap closed.
• The appliance is not intended for use by people (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance by a person responsible for their
safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the appliance.
• If the appliance is not to be used for prolonged periods of
time, unplug the appliance, close the water tap and leave
the door ajar to keep the inside of the machine dry and to
prevent unpleasant odours from developing.
• As a result of the quality control procedures during
production, a certain amount of water may remain in the
appliance. This is normal and does not signify a fault.
• Do not remove the rating plate. The information on it is
important.
• This appliance should not be installed in locations where
the ambient temperature may fall below 0°C. Use in
7
ambient temperatures below 0°C may damage the
machine.
Before First Use
When your washing machine has been correctly installed, we
recommend that you pre-clean the machine.
This is to check that the installation, the connections and the
drainage are all correct, and to thoroughly clean the inside of the
washing machine before any wash programmes are run.
Prior to pre-cleaning you should ensure the transit bolts have
been removed.
• Select the Cotton 95ºC programme and add a normal dose
of detergent into the detergent dispenser.
• Press the “Start/Pause” button.
Preparing Garments for Washing
• Wash lightly soiled garments using a short programme.
• Use a programme without prewash for medium-soiled
garments.
• Wash heavily soiled garments using a long programme
with prewash.
• Wash white and coloured loads separately.
• We recommend that small garments are placed in a wash
bag.
• We recommend using the delicate programmes for
sensitive fabrics.
• Separate clothes according to their types (cotton, synthetic,
sensitive, woolen, etc.), required washing temperatures and
level of dirtiness.
• Since new coloured clothes may shed dye on the first
wash, wash them separately.
• Remove any metal pieces found on the items to be
washed, for example curtain hooks.
• Fasten all zips and buttons.
• Turn garments, such as knitted fabrics, inside out.
8
• Before placing the clothes in the drum, make sure all the
pockets are empty. Any small objects may block the drain
pump.
• We recommend loading the washing machine to its full
capacity for best water and energy efficiency.
Whenever possible, we recommend that you wash garments of
different sizes within the same wash programme. This improves
the washing action and also aids the correct distribution of the
garments in the drum when spin-drying, and the washing machine
will therefore be quieter.
Detergents and Additives
Your washing machine’s detergent
dispenser has three sections as shown in
figure 1.
Add the required amount of detergent
and fabric softener into the specific
sections of the detergent dispenser
before starting the wash programme.
The detergent dispenser is designed to
allow the use of liquid detergents rather
than adding them to the drum. You should
ensure that you insert the liquid detergent
level plate supplied in the detergent
section before adding the liquid
detergent.
To use powder detergents again, first remove the liquid detergent
level plate.
For wash loads that require pre-washing, add ¼ of the required
detergent into the prewash section, and the remainder to the main
wash detergent section.
9
Do not exceed the MAX level in the fabric softener section and
ensure that concentrated fabric softeners are diluted before use
for best washing results.
Remember that the amount of detergent to be used will always
depend on:
• The amount of clothes to be washed.
• How heavily the clothes are soiled.
• The hardness of the water (Information on water hardness
in your area can be obtained from your local water board).
We recommend the use of a decalcifying product if the water
hardness is high in your area.
Eco Note
The use of more detergent than necessary will not improve your
washing results, and will have a negative effect on the
environment.
We therefore recommend you follow the detergent manufacturer’s
instructions.
Loading the Washing Machine
• Open the door.
• Add the items to be washed separately, ensuring they are
loaded evenly.
• When closing the door, ensure that no item is trapped
between the door and the door seal.
• Close the door securely, otherwise the programme will not
start.
