Installation

• A qualified and competent person must
do the electrical and the plumbing instal­lation.

• This appliance is heavy. Take care when
you move it.

• Make sure that the appliance is not dam­aged because of transport. Do not con­nect a damaged appliance. If necessary,
contact dedicated After Sales Service.

• Remove all packaging and transit bolts
before first use. Serious damage can oc­cur to the appliance or to neighbouring
cabinets or furniture.

• Keep all transit devices so that they can
be refitted if the appliance ever has to be
transported again. Please refer to the rel­evant steps in the Assembly Instruction.

• Never place cardboard, wood or similar
materials under the appliance to com­pensate for any unevenness in the floor.
Level accurately the appliance and tight
the lock nuts to prevents vibration, noise
and displacement of the appliance dur­ing operation.

• If your appliance is installed on a carpe­ted floor, adjust the feet in order to en­sure that the air must circulate freely un­der the appliance.

• Check that your appliance is not standing
on the inlet and drain hose and the work­top or the back of the appliance is not
pressing the electrical supply cable
against the wall.

• Always be sure, that there is no water
leakage from hoses and their connections
after the installation.

• If the appliance is installed in a location
subject to frost, please read the “dangers
of freezing” chapter.

Use

• The appliance is only for domestic use.
Do not use the appliance for commercial
and industrial use or for other uses.

• Only an authorised service engineer can
repair this appliance. Use only original
spare parts.

• Refer to the instructions on the label of
each item (garment) before washing.

• Do not overload the appliance. See the
Washing Programme Table.

• Before washing, ensure that all pockets
are empty and buttons and zips are fas­tened.

• 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 ap­pliance.

• Treat stains such as paint, ink, rust, and
grass before washing.

• Only use the advised quantities of fabric
softener and detergent. Damage to the
fabric can ensue if you overfill. Refer to
the manufacturer’s recommendations of
quantities.

• 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.

• Do not use your appliance to wash arti­cles with whalebones, items without hems,
frayed and torn. Underwired bras must
NOT be washed.

• Garments which have been in contact
with volatile petroleum products should
not be appliance washed. If volatile
cleaning fluids are used, care should be
taken to ensure that the fluid is removed
from the garment before placing in the
appliance.

• The water we use normally contains lime.
It is a good idea to periodically use a
water softening powder in the appliance.
Do this without any laundry into the drum
and according to the softening powder
manufacturer’s instructions. This will help
to prevent the formation of lime deposits
making your appliance more efficiency.

• Never pull the power supply cable to re­move the plug from the socket; always
take hold of the plug itself.

ENGLISH 6

• Never use the appliance if the power
supply cable, the control panel, the work­ing surface or the base is damaged so
that the inside of the appliance is accessi­ble.

Water inlet

• This appliance must be connected to a
cold water supply.

• Do not use connection hoses from an old
appliance to connect it to the water sup­ply.

• The water pressure must be in the limits
(refer to the chapter «Technical data» ta­ble). Make sure that the local water au­thority gives you the average mains pres­sure in your area.

• Make sure that there are no kinks in the
water inlet hose and that the water inlet
hose is not squashed or entangled.

• Before connecting up the appliance to
new pipework or to pipework that has
not been used for some time, run off a
reasonable amount of water to flush out
any debris that may have collected in the
pipes.

• Turn the inlet hose on the back of the ap­pliance to the left or the right to suit the
installation.

• The inlet hose must not be lengthened. If
it is too short and you do not wish to
move the tap, you will have to purchase a
new, longer hose specially designed for
this type of use.

• Before opening the water tap, be sure to
tighten the ring nut well to prevent any
leaks.

Water drainage

• Make sure the end of the drain hose can­not come unhooked when the appliance
is emptying. This could be done by tying
it to the tap with a piece of string or at­taching it to the wall.

• The drain hose must be placed at a
height of not less than 44 cm and not
more than 90 cm. Please refer to the As­sembly Instruction booklet.

Care and cleaning

• Before maintenance, switch off the appli­ance and disconnect the mains plug from
the mains socket.

• Clean the exterior cabinet of the appli­ance with soap and water only, and then
dry thoroughly.

• The washing powder and additive dis­penser drawer should be cleaned regu­larly.

• Inspected the pump regularly and partic­ularly if:
– the appliance does not empty and/or

spin

– the appliance makes an unusual noise

during draining due to objects such as
safety pins, coins etc. blocking the
pump.

• Never remove the pump cover during a
wash cycle. Always wait until the appli­ance has drained out the water. If you
have selected an high temperature wash­ing programme please wait until the wa­ter has cooled down.

• Ensure that the pump cover is securely re­tightened to prevent any leaks.

Helpful hints and tips

Sorting out the laundry

Follow the wash code symbols on each gar­ment label and the manufacturer’s washing
instructions. Sort the laundry as follows:
whites, coloureds, synthetics, delicates,
woollens.

Removing stains

Stubborn stains may not be removed by just
water and detergent. It is therefore advisa­ble to treat them prior to washing.
Blood: treat fresh stains with cold water. For
dried stains, soak overnight in water with a
stain remover product then rub in the soap
and water.
Oil based paint: moisten with benzine stain
remover, lay the garment on a soft cloth
and dab the stain; treat several times.
Dried grease stains: moisten with turpen­tine, lay the garment on a soft surface and
dab the stain with the fingertips and a cot­ton cloth.
Rust: oxalic acid dissolved in hot water or a
rust removing product used cold. Be careful
with rust stains which are not recent since
the cellulose structure will already have
been damaged and the fabric tends to
hole.
Mould stains: treat with bleach, rinse well
(white cottons and fast coloureds only).

then rinse. Treat any residual marks with
bleach.
Ink: depending on the type of ink, moisten

the fabric first with acetone
tic acid; treat any residual marks on white
fabrics with bleach and then rinse thor­oughly.
Tar stains: first treat with stain remover, me­thylated spirits or benzine, then rub with
detergent paste.

Degrees of water hardness

Water hardness is classified in so-called
“degrees” of hardness. Information on
hardness of the water in your area can be
obtained from the relevant water supply
company, or from your local authority.
