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.

• 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 that:

It has been installed in accordance with the installation instructions.
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 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 90ºC 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, woollen, 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.

8

• Fasten all zips and buttons.

• Turn garments, such as knitted fabrics, inside out.

• 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 eciency.

• Whenever possible, we recommend that you wash garments of

dierent 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.
Note: Compartment 1 (Prewash) is only
used with the “Intensive +” programme.

The detergent dispenser is designed to
allow the use of liquid detergents rather
than adding them to the drum. You
should only insert liquid detergent into
the main wash detergent compartment
and ensure that concentrated liquid
detergent is diluted with an equal
quantity of water before use.

Liquid detergent should not be used on
programmes with a prewash stage or
when using the delay timer.

For washloads that require prewashing,
add ¼ of the required powder
detergent into the prewash section, and

1 Prewash
2 Main Wash
3 Fabric Softener

fig. 1

10

the remainder to the main detergent section.

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 eect on the preservation of
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.
