Subject to change without notice

• Make sure that small pets and children
do not climb into the drum. To avoid this,
please check into the drum before using.

• 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 ma­chine.

• Only use the advised quantities of fabric
softener and detergent. Damage to the
fabric can ensue if you over-fill. 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 washing machine to
wash articles with whalebones, material
without hems or torn material.

• Always unplug the appliance and turn off
the water supply after use, cleaning and
maintenance.

• Under no circumstances should you at­tempt to repair the machine yourself. Re­pairs carried out by inexperienced people
may cause injury or serious malfunction­ing. Contact your local Service Centre.
Always insist on genuine spare parts.

this is not adhered to. See relevant sec­tion in the user manual.

• After having installed the appliance,
check that it is not standing on the inlet
and drain hose and the worktop is not
pressing the electrical supply cable
against the wall.

• If the machine is situated on a carpeted
floor, please adjust the feet in order to al­low air to circulate freely under the appli­ance.

• 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.

appliance should be carried out by a
qualified plumber or competent person.

appliance should be carried out by a
qualified electrician or competent person.

Use

• This appliance is designed for domestic
use. It must not be used for purposes
other than those for which it was de­signed.

• Only wash and dry fabrics which are de­signed to be machine washed or dried.
Follow the instructions on each garment
label

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

• Before washing, ensure that all pockets
are empty and buttons and zips are fas­tened. Avoid washing frayed or torn arti­cles and treat stains such as paint, ink,
rust, and grass before washing. Under­wired bras must NOT be machine wash­ed.

• Garments which have been in contact
with volatile petroleum products should
not be machine 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 ma­chine.

• As some duvets and eiderdowns should
be washed/dried in large commercial ma­chines because of their bulk, please

check with the manufacturer of the item
before washing in a domestic machine.

• The users should always check that they
have not left their gas lighters (disposable
or otherwise) in their clothing.

• Never tumble dry items that have had
contact with chemicals such as dry
cleaning fluid. These are of a volatile na­ture and could cause an explosion. Only
tumble dry items which have been wash­ed in water or require airing.

• Plastic detergent dispensers should not
remain in the drum during the drying cy­cle, as the plastic used is not designed to
withstand the heat. If you wish to wash­through-to-dry you should use the con­ventional detergent dispenser drawer.

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

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