Important safety instructions

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

WARNING!

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:

• Read all instructions before using the appliance.

• Do not run appliance while you are out of the home.

• Do not wash or dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, cooking oils, or other flammable or explosive substances because they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

• Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision of children is necessary when the appliance is used near children.

• Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove the door to the washing compartment.

• Do not reach into the appliance if the drum is moving.

• Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather.

• Do not tamper with controls.

• Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in the user-repair instructions or in published user-repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.

• Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances to the wash water. These substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

• Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system

has not been used for such a period, before using a washing machine or combination washer-dryer, turn on all water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

WARNING!

This appliance must be properly grounded.

This manual does not cover every possible condition and situation that may occur. Use common sense and caution when installing, operating, and maintaining any appliance.

Grounding instructions

A) Grounding instructions for a grounded, cord-connected appliance:

In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING!

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service representative or personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Important safety instructions

B) Grounding instructions for a permanently connected appliance:

This appliance must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system, or an equipment-grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the appliance.

NOTE!

This manual does not cover every possible condition and situation that may occur. Use common sense and caution when installing, operating, and maintaining any appliance.

Installation

See the "Installation" chapter.

Overflow guard function

If the machine’s water level rises above the normal level, the overflow guard function begins to pump water out and shuts off the water intake. If the water level has not dropped within 60 seconds, the program is terminated.

Disposal

When the machine has reached the end of its service life and is to be disposed of, it should immediately be made unusable by removing the door to the washing compartment. Contact your local authorities for information about where your machine should be disposed of and recycled in the proper way. The machine is manufactured and labeled for recycling.

Transport/Winter storage

If the machine is to be transported or stored in unheated premises where the temperature can fall below freezing, do as follows:

• Empty the filter and the drain pump. See the "Care and maintenance instructions" chapter.

• Shut off the water to the washing machine, loosen the supply hose to the intake valve, and let the water run out from the valve and hose.

• After emptying the pump, a small amount of water may remain in the machine. This does not affect quality or damage the machine.

Advice and tips before washing

Here are some tips that may help you before washing.

Sorting your laundry

Sort items according to:

• how soiled they are

• color

• material

Clothing

1. Close zippers and Velcro straps so they won’t damage fabrics.

2. New colored items may contain excess dye and should therefore be washed separately the first few times.

3. Turn delicate items inside out. This reduces the risk of burling and fading.

4. Empty pockets and wash them inside out if possible.

Laundry labels

Look at the item’s laundry label. The table below shows suitable wash programs for different materials and wash loads. Using modern washing machines and detergents, such as compact detergents, you can usually wash at lower temperatures. It is a good idea to use trial and error to find out what produces the best results.
