IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

A 10 minute ‘Cool Tumble’phase at the end of

each drying cycle allows fabrics to gently cool down, minimising creasing.

All fabrics contain a little natural moisture even when ‘dry’,this should not

be lost if the clothes are to remain soft and fluffy.If clothes are subjected

to extreme drying the tend to wrinkle and consequently need more

ironing than usual. As clothes feel damper when warm, allow for this

when removing items before the ‘Cool Tumble’phase is complete.

This machine incorporates a ‘Dry Spin’ feature, see Automatic Features.

NOTE: After you have dried a particularly ‘fluffy’ load, or if you have used the

appliance as a dryer only,remove the load then run a ‘rinse and spin’cycle to

flush fluff out of the pipes.This appliance does not have a filter for you to

clean.

Washcare Tips:

● Do not overload the machine

(maximum load 6kg).

In addition to reducing the

quality of the wash, this may also

damage your laundry and the

machine.

● We strongly recommend that you

do not wash underwired bras in

this machine. Should the wires

become detached it could cause

damage to your clothes and the

machine. If the washcare label

states that the bra is machine

washable, then we advise placing

it in a sealed pillow case or a

similar washbag. Remember, you

will be charged for a service call

resulting from a detached bra

wire.

● Do not use the machine if the

item to be washed does not have

a wash label.

Before washing laundry we

recommend that you do the

following:

● Pre-treat awkward stains with

washable treatments.

Do not wash any items that have

previously been treated with

solvents.

● Close zips,fasten belts,tie strings

and close press studs to prevent

tangling.

● Empty ALL objects from pockets

as they may damage the clothes

and the machine.

Remember,you will be charged

for a service call to rectify a

malfunction resulting from

objects, such as coins,pens, hair

grips etc. falling from pockets.

● Limit the size of absorbent loads

ie. towels, to 3kg (7lb) to give

good washing and rinsing results.

● Place small items in a wash bag.

● Always follow the care label on

items when choosing the wash

programme.

● Wash non-colourfast items or

really dirty laundry separately as

they may affect other items.

STEP 8

Remember, you will be charged for a service call for problems caused by incorrect installation, non-removal of transit bolts or packaging, leaks from household pipework, loose or blocked fill and drain hoses.

Washing items that DO NOT have a wash label or washing items that are not intended as machine washable and NOT emptying contents from pockets may cause pump or drain blockages, or may damage components within the machine.
