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. If the appliance is damaged, contact your retailer.
• 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, or when the sockets are wet or damp.
• 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 appliance.
• 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.
• The appliance, particularly the door, may become very hot during
(and remain hot after) use. Please keep all children, pets etc. away.
• Do not install or use the appliance in wet rooms, rooms with high
humidity or near flammable substances (such as flammable or
caustic gases).

Warnings
To avoid the risk of fire, electric shocks, injury or damage when using
your machine, please take the following precautions:
• Please read all the instructions before using the 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 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 machine
to the mains supply.
• Follow the washing instructions recommended by the manufacturer
of the garment to be washed.
• Do not turn your 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.
• Never dry clothing or frabrics containing residues of setting lotions,
hairsprays, nail solvents or similar solutions. These items could form
flammable or harmful vapours.
7
Important: Ensure that the transit bolts have been removed prior
to using the machine (see page 32).
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 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 machine
before any wash programmes are run.
Prior to pre-cleaning you should ensure the transit bolts have been
removed.
• Select the Cotton programme, set it to 90ºC 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 suitable
detergent.
• 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.
9
• 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 machine to its full capacity for best
water and energy eciency.
• Whenever possible, we recommend that you wash garments of
dierent 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 machine will therefore be
quieter.

Detergents and
additives
Your 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 not used with any programmes
on this model (the dispenser is
generic).
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 when using
the delay timer.
• 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 and to help prevent clogging.
• 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. Many brands of detergent (and fabric softener/
conditioner) contain phosphates which escape sewage treatment
and can cause excessive algae growth in waterways. This in turn
can pollute drinking water and cause marine life ‘dead zones’
which are underwater environments deprived of oxygen that
are subsequently unable to support life. Please consider the
environment and try to source an environmentally friendly brand.
Loading the machine
- Open the door.
- Add the items to be washed (or dried) 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.
