Installation

! This instruction manual should be kept in a safe place for future reference. If the washing machine is sold, transferred or moved, make sure that the instruction manual remains with the machine so that the new owner is able to familiarise himself/herself with its operation and features. ! Read these instructions carefully: they contain vital information relating to the safe installation and operation of the appliance.

Unpacking and levelling

Unpacking

1. Remove the washing machine from its packaging.

2. Make sure that the washing machine has not been damaged during the transportation process. If it has been damaged, contact the retailer and do not proceed any further with the installation process.

3. Remove the 4 protective screws (used during transportation) and the rubber washer with the corresponding spacer, located on the rear part of the appliance (see figure).

4. Close off the holes using the plastic plugs provided.

5. Keep all the parts in a safe place: you will need them again if the washing machine needs to be moved to another location. ! Packaging materials should not be used as toys for children.

Levelling the machine correctly will provide it with stability, help to avoid vibrations and excessive noise and prevent it from shifting while it is operating. If it is placed on carpet or a rug, adjust the feet in such a way as to allow a sufficient ventilation space underneath the washing machine.

Connecting the electricity and water supplies

Connecting the water inlet hose

1. Connect the inlet hose by screwing it to a cold water tap using a 3/4 gas threaded connection (see

figure).

Before performing the connection, allow the water to run freely until it is perfectly clear.

2. Connect the inlet hose to the washing machine by screwing it onto the corresponding water inlet of the appliance, which is situated on the top right-hand side of the rear part of the appliance (see figure).

3. Make sure that the hose is not folded over or bent.

Levelling

1. Install the washing machine on a flat sturdy floor, without resting it up against walls, furniture cabinets or anything else.

2. If the floor is not perfectly level, compensate for any unevenness by tightening or loosening the adjustable front feet (see figure); the angle of inclination, measured in relation to the worktop, must not exceed 2°.

! The water pressure at the tap must fall within the range of values indicated in the Technical data table (see next page).

! If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialised shop or an authorised technician.

! Never use second-hand hoses.

! Use the ones supplied with the machine.

Connecting the drain hose

65 - 100 cm

up to 1200 rotations per minute

! Do not use extension cords or multiple sockets.

Connect the drain hose, without bending it, to a drain duct or a wall drain situated between 65 and 100 cm from the floor;

alternatively, placed it over the edge of a basin, sink or tub, fastening the duct supplied to the tap (see figure). The free end of the hose should not be underwater.

! We advise against the use of hose extensions; if it is absolutely necessary, the extension must have the same diameter as the original hose and must not exceed 150 cm in length.

Electrical connections

Before plugging the appliance into the electricity socket, make sure that:

• the socket is earthed and complies with all applicable laws;

• the socket is able to withstand the maximum power load of the appliance as indicated in the Technical data table (see opposite);

• the power supply voltage falls within the values indicated in the Technical data table (see opposite);

• the socket is compatible with the plug of the washing machine. If this is not the case, replace the socket or the plug.

! The washing machine must not be installed outdoors, even in covered areas. It is extremely dangerous to leave the appliance exposed to rain, storms and other weather conditions.

! When the washing machine has been installed, the electricity socket must remain within easy reach.

! The cable should not be bent or compressed.

! The power supply cable must only be repla-

ced by authorised technicians.

Warning! The company shall not be held responsible in the event that these standards are not observed.

The first wash cycle

Once the appliance has been installed, and before you use it for the first time, run a wash cycle with detergent and no laundry, using the wash cycle “Auto Clean” (see “Cleaning the

washing machine”).

Care and maintenance

Cutting off the water and electricity supplies

• Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle. This will limit wear on the hydraulic system inside the washing machine and help to prevent leaks.

• Unplug the washing machine when cleaning it and during all maintenance work.

Cleaning the washing machine

• The outer parts and rubber components

of the appliance can be cleaned using a soft cloth soaked in lukewarm soapy water. Do not use solvents or abrasives.

• The washing machine has a “Auto Clean”

programme for its internal parts that must be run with no load in the drum. For maximum performance you may want to use either the detergent (i.e. a quantity 10% the quantity specified for lightly-soiled garments) or special additives to clean the washing machine. We recommend running a cleaning programme every 40 wash cycles. To start the programme press buttons A and B simultaneously for 5 seconds (see figure). The programme will start automatically and will last approximately 70 minutes. To stop the cycle press the START/PAUSE button.

Cleaning the pump

The washing machine is fitted with a selfcleaning pump which does not require any maintenance. Sometimes, small items (such as coins or buttons) may fall into the protective pre-chamber at the base of the pump.

! Make sure the wash cycle has finished and unplug the appliance.

To access the pre-chamber:

1. Take off the cover panel on the front of the machine by first pressing it in the centre and then pushing downwards on both sides until you can remove it (see figures).

2. Unscrew the lid by rotating it anticlockwise (see figu- re): a little water may trickle out. This is perfectly normal.

Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer

To remove the drawer, press lever (1) and pull the drawer outwards (2)

(see figure).

Wash it under running water; this procedure should be repeated frequently.

Caring for the door and drum of your appliance

• Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to

prevent unpleasant odours from forming.

3. Clean the inside thoroughly.

4. Screw the lid back on.

5. Reposition the panel, making sure the hooks are securely in place before you push it onto the appliance.

Checking the water inlet hose

Check the inlet hose at least once a year. If there are any cracks, it should be replaced immediately: during the wash cycles, water pressure is very strong and a cracked hose could easily split open.

! Never use second-hand hoses.

Precautions and tips

! This washing machine was designed and constructed in

accordance with international safety regulations. The following information is provided for safety reasons and must therefore be read carefully.

General safety

• This appliance was designed for domestic use only.

• This appliance can be used by children aged

from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.

• The washing machine must only be used by adults, in accordance with the instructions provided in this manual.

• Do not touch the machine when barefoot or with wet or damp hands or feet.

• Do not pull on the power supply cable when unplugging the appliance from the electricity socket. Hold the plug and pull.

• Do not open the detergent dispenser drawer while the machine is in operation.

• Do not touch the drained water as it may reach extremely high temperatures.

• Never force the porthole door. This could damage the safety lock mechanism designed to prevent accidental opening.

• If the appliance breaks down, do not under any circumstances access the internal mechanisms in an attempt to repair it yourself.

• Always keep children well away from the appliance while it is operating.

• The door can become quite hot during the wash cycle.

• If the appliance has to be moved, work in a group of two or three people and handle it with the utmost care. Never try to do this alone, because the appliance is very heavy.

• Before loading laundry into the washing machine, make sure the drum is empty.

Disposal

• Disposing of the packaging materials: observe local regulations so that the packaging may be re-used.

• The European Directive 2012/19/EU on Waste

Electrical and Electronic Equipment, requires that old household electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be collected separately in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the impact on human health and the environment. The crossed out “wheeled bin” symbol on the product reminds you of your obligation, that when you dispose of the appliance it must be separately collected. Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer for information concerning the correct disposal of their old appliance.

Load balancing system

Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations and to distribute the load in a uniform manner, the drum rotates continuously at a speed which is slightly greater than the washing rotation speed. If, after several attempts, the load is not balanced correctly, the machine spins at a reduced spin speed. If the load is excessively unbalanced, the washing machine performs the distribution process instead of spinning. To encourage improved load distribution and balance, we recommend small and large garments are mixed in the load.

Setting the temperature

Press the TEMPERATURE button to set the wash temperature (see Table of wash cycles). The temperature may be lowered, or even set to a cold wash . The washing machine will automatically prevent you from selecting a temperature which is higher than the maximum value set for each wash cycle.

! Exception: if the 8 programme is selected, the temperature can be increased up to a value of 90°C.

Setting the spin speed

Press the SPIN SPEED button to set the spin speed for the selected wash cycle. The maximum spin speeds available for each wash cycle are as follows:

Wash cycles Maximum spin speed

Cottons 1200 rpm Synthetics 800 rpm Wool 800 rpm

The spin speed may be lowered, or the spin cycle can be excluded altogether by selecting the symbol . The washing machine will automatically prevent you from selecting a spin speed which is higher than the maximum speed set for each wash cycle.

Functions

The various wash functions available with this washing machine will help to achieve the desired results, every time. To activate the functions:

1. Press the button corresponding to the desired function;

2. the function is enabled when the corresponding indicator light is illuminated.

Note: If the indicator light flashes rapidly, this signals that this particular function may not be selected in conjunction with the selected wash cycle.

Sport

This option allows for selecting the most suitable programme for any type of sports clothing, and is designed to remove dirt while optimally preserving the technical features of the garments. The various Sport option levels offer the following wash cycles:

- Sport Shoes, a cycle designed to safely wash up to 2 pairs of sports shoes simultaneously.

- Gym Kit, a cycle designed to simultaneously wash any type of sports clothing together with gym towels.

- Technical Wear, designed for specifically washing waterproof garments or clothing with special technical fibres like

Gore-Tex, so as to optimise washing performance while preserving their technical properties over time. Do not use fabric softeners for garments with technical fibres.

! It cannot be used in conjunction with wash cycles 2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12-13-14- - .

Fast Forward

During a wash programme and under certain conditions, pressing this button allows for ending the wash programme after only 20’ if necessary, by performing a brief rinse cycle followed by a spin cycle at maximum 800 rpm or lower, if reduced manually during the programme customisation phase. In this case, washing and rinsing performance will be reduced. After pressing the button, the relative indicator light turns on together with the indicator light of the rinse phase. If the selected temperature is equal to 40° and/or the button is pressed during the initial phase of the programme, the “Fast Forward” option lasts longer so that the detergent can dissolve properly and avoid damaging the fabrics. In this case, the rinse phase indicator light flashes while the wash indicator light remains fixed until the necessary activation conditions are fulfilled. If less than 20’ remain of the wash programme, the option will be disabled.

! It cannot be used in conjunction with wash cycles 2-4-5-6-13-14- - .

Easy iron

By selecting this function, the wash and spin cycles will be modified in order to reduce the formation of creases. At the end of the cycle the washing machine will perform slow rotations of the drum, while the EASY IRON and START/PAUSE indicator lights will flash and the END led will remain lit in a fixed manner. To end the cycle, press the START/PAUSE button or the EASY IRON button. ! It cannot be used in conjunction with wash cycles 1-3-5-13-14- - .

Extra Rinse

By selecting this option, the efficiency of the rinse is increased and optimal detergent removal is guaranteed. It is particularly useful for sensitive skin. ! It cannot be used in conjunction with wash cycles 2-4-13-14- .

Detergents and laundry

Detergent dispenser drawer

Successful washing results also depend on the correct dose of detergent: adding too much detergent will not necessarily result in a more efficient wash, and may in fact cause build up on the inside of your appliance and contribute to environmental pollution. ! Do not use hand washing detergents because these create too much foam. ! Use powder detergent for white cotton garments, for prewashing, and for washing at temperatures over 60°C. ! Follow the instructions given on the detergent packaging.

Open the detergent dispenser drawer and pour in the detergent or washing additive, as follows.

Compartment 1: Pre-wash detergent (powder)

Before pouring in the detergent, make sure that extra compartment 4 has been removed.

Compartment 2: Washing detergent (powder or liquid)

If liquid detergent is used, it is recommended that the removable plastic partition A (supplied) be used for proper dosage. If powder detergent is used, place the partition into slot B.

Compartment 3: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)

The fabric softener must not exceed the “max” level indicated on the central pin.

Extra compartment 4: Bleach

Bleach cycle

Insert the additional compartment 4 (provided) into compartment 1. In pouring the bleach do not exceed the “max” level indicated on the central pin. Perform bleaching by pouring the bleach into additional compartment 4 and set the programme . ! Traditional bleach should be used on resistant white fabrics, and delicate bleach for coloured and synthetics fabrics and for wool.

Preparing the laundry

• Divide the laundry according to:

- the type of fabric/the symbol on the label

- the colours: separate coloured garments from whites.

• Empty all garment pockets and check the buttons.

• Do not exceed the values listed in the “Table of wash cycles”, which refer to the weight of the laundry when dry.

How much does your laundry weigh?

1 sheet 400-500 g 1 pillow case 150-200 g 1 tablecloth 400-500 g 1 bathrobe 900-1.200 g 1 towel 150-250 g

Garments requiring special care Sport (programme 1) is designed for washing lightly soiled

sports clothing (tracksuits, shorts, etc.); for best results, we recommend not exceeding the maximum load indicated

in the “Table of wash cycles”. We recommend using liquid detergent, and adding the amount suitable for a half-load. Dark: use cycle 2 to wash dark-coloured garments. This programme is designed to maintain dark colours over time. We recommend using a liquid detergent for the best results when washing dark-coloured garments.

Anti-odour: use programme 3 for washing garments with bad odours (e.g. smoke, sweat, fried food). The programme is designed to remove bad odours while preserving the fabric fibres. Synthetics fabrics or mixed loads should be washed at 40°, and resistant cotton fabrics at 60°. Delicate: use programme 4 to wash very delicate garments. It is advisable to turn the garments inside out before washing them. For best results, use liquid detergent on delicate garments. For washing Silk items and Curtains, select the relevant cycle and activate the option (in this case it will also be possible to enable the “Extra Rinse” option); the machine will end the cycle with the laundry soaked and the indicator light will flash. To drain the water so that the laundry can be removed, press the START/ PAUSE button ro the option . Wool: the wool wash cycle of this machine has been tested and approved by The Woolmark Company for the washing of wool containing garments labelled as “hand wash” provided that the garments are washed according to the instructions on the garment label and those issued by the manufacturer of this washing machine. (M1126)

In UK, Eire, Hong Kong and India the Woolmark trade mark is a Certification trade mark.

Duvet: to wash single duvets (the weight of which should not exceed 2 kg), cushions or clothes padded with goose down such as puffa jackets, use the special wash cycle number 6. We recommend that duvets are placed in the drum with their edges folded inwards (see figure) and that no more than ¾ of the total volume of the drum is used. To achieve the best results, we recommend that a liquid detergent is used and placed inside the detergent dispenser drawer.

Coloured: use this cycle 11 to wash bright coloured clothes. The programme is designed to maintain bright colours over time.

Cotton Standard 20° (programme 12) ideal for lightly soiled cotton loads. The effective performance levels achieved at cold temperatures, which are comparable to washing at 40°, are guaranteed by a mechanical action which operates at varying speed, with repeated and frequent peaks. 20’ Refresh (programme 13) ideal for refreshing and washing lightly soiled garments in a few minutes. It lasts just 20 minutes and therefore saves both time and energy. It can be used to wash different types of fabrics together (except for wool and silk), with a maximum load of 1.5 kg. Rapid 60’ (programme 14) is designed to wash moderately soiled resistant cotton garments at 60° in an hour, with good washing performance. For synthetic or mixed garments, we recommend lowering the temperature down to 40°.

Troubleshooting

Your washing machine could fail to work. Before contacting the Technical Assistance Centre (see “Assistance”), make sure that the problem cannot be solved easily using the following list.

Problem:

The washing machine does not switch on.

The wash cycle does not start.

The washing machine does not take in water (the indicator light for the first wash cycle stage flashes rapidly).

The washing machine continuously takes in and drains water.

Possible causes / Solutions:

• The appliance is not plugged into the socket fully, or is not making contact.

• There is no power in the house.

• The washing machine door is not closed properly.

• The ON/OFF button has not been pressed.

• The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed.

• The water tap has not been opened.

• A delayed start has been set.

• The water inlet hose is not connected to the tap.

• The hose is bent.

• The water tap has not been opened.

• There is no water supply in the house.

• The pressure is too low.

Installatie

! Het is belangrijk deze handleiding te bewaren voor latere raadpleging. In het geval u het apparaat verkoopt, of u verhuist, moet het boekje bij de wasautomaat blijven zodat de nieuwe gebruiker de functies en betreffende raadgevingen kan doornemen. ! Lees de instructies aandachtig door: u vindt er belangrijke informatie betreffende installatie, gebruik en veiligheid.

Uitpakken en waterpas zetten

Uitpakken

1. De wasautomaat uitpakken.

2. Controleer of de wasautomaat geen schade

heeft geleden gedurende het vervoer. Indien dit wel het geval is moet hij niet worden aangesloten en moet u contact opnemen met de handelaar.

3. Verwijder de 4 schroeven die het apparaat beschermen tijdens het vervoer en de rubberen ring met bijbehorende afstandsleider die zich aan de achterkant bevinden (zie afbeelding).

4. Sluit de openingen af met de bijgeleverde

plastic doppen.

5. Bewaar alle onderdelen: mocht de wasau-

tomaat ooit worden vervoerd, dan moeten deze weer worden aangebracht. ! Het verpakkingsmateriaal is geen speelgoed voor kinderen.

Een correcte nivellering geeft de machine stabiliteit en voorkomt trillingen, lawaai en het zich verplaatsen van de automaat tijdens de werking. In het geval van vloerbedekking of een tapijt regelt u de stelvoetjes zodanig dat onder de wasmachine genoeg plaats is voor ventilatie.

Hydraulische en elektrische aansluitingen

Aansluiting van de watertoevoerbuis

1. Sluit de toevoerbuis aan op de koudwaterkraan met een mondstuk met schroefdraad van 3/4 gas (zie

afbeelding).

Voordat u de wasautomaat aansluit moet u het water laten lopen totdat het helder is.

2. Verbind de watertoevoerbuis aan de wasautomaat door hem op de betreffende watertoevoer te schroeven, rechtsboven aan de achterkant (zie

afbeelding).

3. Let erop dat er geen knellingen of kronkels in de buis zijn.

Waterpas zetten

1. Installeer de wasautomaat op een rechte en

stevige vloer en laat hem niet steunen tegen een muur, meubel of dergelijke.

2. Als de vloer niet volledig horizontaal is kunt u de onregelmatigheid opheffen door de stelvoetjes aan de voorkant losser of vaster te schroeven (zie afbeelding); de inclinatiehoek, gemeten ten opzichte van het werkvlak, mag de

2° niet overschrijden.

! De waterdruk van de kraan moet zich binnen de waarden van de tabel Technische Gegevens bevinden (zie bladzijde hiernaast).

! Als de toevoerbuis niet lang genoeg is moet u zich wenden tot een gespecialiseerde winkel of een bevoegde installateur.

! Gebruik nooit tweedehands buizen.

! Gebruik de buizen die bij het apparaat wor-

den geleverd.

Aansluiting van de afvoerbuis

65 - 100 cm

zie het typeplaatje met de technische eigenschappen dat op

Verbind de buis, zonder hem te buigen, aan een afvoerleiding of aan een afvoer in de muur tussen de 65 en 100 cm van de grond af;

of hang hem aan de rand van een wasbak of badkuip, en bind de bijgeleverde steun aan de kraan (zie afbeelding). Het uiteinde van de afvoerslang mag niet onder water hangen.

! Het snoer mag niet gebogen of samengedrukt worden.

! De voedingskabel mag alleen door een bevoegde installateur worden vervangen.

Belangrijk! De fabrikant kan niet aansprakelijk worden gesteld wanneer deze normen niet worden nageleefd.

Eerste wascyclus

Na de installatie en voor u de wasautomaat in gebruik neemt, dient u een wascyclus uit te voeren met wasmiddel maar zonder wasgoed, op het programma “WASMACHINE REINIGEN”

(zie “Reinigen van de wasautomaat”).

Technische gegevens

Model

XWA 61251

! Gebruik nooit verlengstukken voor de buis; indien dit niet te vermijden is moet het verlengstuk dezelfde doorsnede hebben als de oorspronkelijke buis en mag hij niet langer zijn dan 150 cm.

Elektrische aansluiting

Voordat u de stekker in het stopcontact steekt moet u zich ervan verzekeren dat:

• het stopcontact geaard is en voldoet aan de

geldende normen;

• het stopcontact het maximum vermogen van de

wasautomaat kan dragen, zoals aangegeven in de tabel Technische Gegevens (zie hiernaast);

• de spanning zich bevindt tussen de waar-

den die zijn aangegeven in de tabel Technische Gegevens (zie hiernaast);

• de contactdoos geschikt is voor de stekker

van de wasautomaat. Indien dit niet zo is moet de stekker of het stopcontact vervangen worden.

! De machine mag alleen binnenshuis op een vorstvrije en droge plek worden geïnstalleerd om elektronische schade door bevriezing of condensatie te voorkomen.

! Als de wasautomaat is geïnstalleerd moet het stopcontact gemakkelijk te bereiken zijn.

! Gebruik geen verlengsnoeren of dubbelstekkers.

Onderhoud en verzorging

Afsluiten van water en stroom

• Sluit na iedere wasbeurt de kraan af. Hier-

mee beperkt u slijtage van de waterinstallatie van de wasmachine en voorkomt u lekkage.

• Sluit altijd eerst de stroom af voordat u de

wasautomaat gaat schoonmaken en gedurende onderhoudswerkzaamheden.

Reinigen van de wasautomaat

• De buitenkant en de rubberen onderdelen

kunnen met een spons en een lauw sopje worden schoongemaakt. Gebruik nooit schuurmiddelen of oplosmiddelen.

• De wasautomaat beschikt over een pro-

gramma “WASMACHINE REINIGEN” voor het reinigen van de binnenkant van de automaat. Dit moet worden uitgevoerd als de automaat

volledig leeg is.

Het wasmiddel (circa 10% van de hoeveelheid die wordt aanbevolen voor een niet zo vuile was) of de speciale reinigingsmiddelen voor wasautomaten kunnen worden gebruikt als hulpmiddelen tijdens dit wasprogramma. We raden u aan dit reinigingsprogramma elke 40 wascycli uit te voeren. Om dit programma te activeren drukt u tegelijkertijd 5 sec. op de toetsen A en B (zie afb.). Het programma start automatisch en heeft een duur van circa 70 minuten. Om de cyclus te beëindigen drukt u op de toets START/PAUSE.

Reinigen van de pomp

De wasautomaat is voorzien van een zelfreinigende pomp en hoeft dus niet te worden onderhouden. Het kan echter gebeuren dat kleine voorwerpen (muntjes, knopen) in het voorvakje dat de pomp beschermt en zich aan de onderkant ervan bevindt, terechtkomen. ! Verzeker u ervan dat de wascyclus beëindigd is en haal de stekker uit het stopcontact.

Toegang tot het voorvakje:

1. verwijder het afdekpaneel aan de voorzijde van de wasautomaat door er op het midden op te drukken. Duw beide zijkanten naar beneden toe en verwijder het paneel (zie afbe-

eldingen).

2. draai het deksel eraf, tegen de klok in (zie afbeelding): het is normaal dat er een beetje water uit komt;

Reinigen van het wasmiddelbakje

Verwijder het laadje door op het hendeltje (1) te drukken en het naar voren te trekken (2) (zie afbeelding). Was het onder stromend water. Dit moet u regelmatig doen.

Onderhoud van deur en trommel

• Laat de deur altijd op een kier staan om nare luchtjes te vermijden.

3. maak de binnenkant goed schoon;

4. schroef het deksel er weer op;

5. monteer het paneel weer, met de haakjes goed bevestigd in de juiste openingen, voordat u het paneel tegen de machine aandrukt.

Controleren van de buis van de watertoevoer

Controleer minstens eenmaal per jaar de slang van de watertoevoer. Als er barstjes of scheuren in zitten moet hij vervangen worden: gedurende het wassen kan de hoge waterdruk onverwachts breuken veroorzaken. ! Gebruik nooit tweedehands buizen.

Voorzorgsmaatregelen en advies

! De wasmachine is ontworpen en geproduceerd volgens

de internationale veiligheidsnormen. Deze aanwijzingen zijn voor uw eigen veiligheid geschreven en moeten aandachtig worden doorgenomen.

Algemene veiligheid

• Dit apparaat is uitsluitend ontworpen voor huishoudelijk

niet-professioneel gebruik.

• Dit apparaat mag alleen door kinderen van

8 jaar en ouder, door personen met een beperkt lichamelijk, sensorieel of geestelijk vermogen, of met onvoldoende ervaring of kennis worden gebruikt, mits ze worden begeleid, of wanneer zij toereikende instructies hebben gekregen betreffende het veilige gebruik van het apparaat en mits zij op de hoogte zijn van de betreffende gevaren. Kinderen mogen niet met het apparaat spelen. Onderhoud en reiniging mogen niet door kin-

deren zonder supervisie worden uitgevoerd.

• Raak de machine niet aan als u blootsvoets bent of met

natte of vochtige handen of voeten.

• Trek de stekker nooit uit het stopcontact door aan het

snoer te trekken, maar altijd door de stekker zelf beet te pakken.

• Open het wasmiddelbakje niet terwijl de machine in

werking is.

• Raak het afvoerwater niet aan aangezien het behoorlijk

warm kan zijn.

• Forceer de deur nooit: het veiligheidsmechanisme dat

een ongewild openen van de deur voorkomt, kan beschadigd worden.

• Probeer in geval van storingen nooit zelf de interne

mechanismen van de wasautomaat te repareren.

• Zorg ervoor dat kleine kinderen niet te dicht bij de ma-

chine komen als deze in werking is.

• De deur kan tijdens het wassen zeer heet worden.

• Als de machine verplaatst moet worden, doe dit dan

met twee of drie personen tegelijk en zeer voorzichtig. Doe dit nooit alleen, want het apparaat is erg zwaar.

• Voordat u het wasgoed in de automaat laadt, moet u

controleren of hij leeg is.

Afvalverwijdering

• Het verwijderen van het verpakkingsmateriaal: houdt u aan de plaatselijke normen zodat het materiaal

hergebruikt kan worden.

• De Europese richtlijn 2012/19/EU, betreffende afgedankte elektrische en elektronische apparatuur, voorziet dat huishoudelijke apparatuur niet met het normale afval mag worden meegegeven. De afgedankte apparatuur moet apart worden opgehaald om het wedergebruik van materialen waarvan hij is gemaakt te optimaliseren en om potentiële schade aan de gezondheid en het milieu te voorkomen. Het symbool van de afvalemmer met een kruis staat op elk product, om aan te geven dat het apart moet worden weggegooid.

Voor verdere informatie betreffende het correcte verwijde-

ren van huishoudelijke apparatuur kunnen de gebruikers zich wenden tot de gemeentelijke reinigingsdienst of de verkoper.

Balanceersysteem van de lading

Om overmatige trillingen te vermijden verdeelt de automaat de lading voor het centrifugeren op een gelijkmatige manier. Dit gebeurt door de trommel te laten draaien op een snelheid die iets hoger ligt dan de wassnelheid. Als na herhaaldelijke pogingen de lading nog steeds niet goed is gebalanceerd, zal de wasautomaat de centrifuge op een lagere snelheid uitvoeren dan die voorzien was. Als de lading zeer uit balans is zal de wasautomaat een verdeling uitvoeren in plaats van een centrifuge. Teneinde een betere distributie van de waslading en een juiste balancering te bereiken raden wij u aan kleine en grote kledingstukken te mengen.
