All packing and transit bolts must be removed before use. Serious damage can occur to the product and to property if this is not adhered to. See relevant section in instructions.

Any plumbing work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified plumber or competent person.

Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person.

Care must be taken to ensure that the appliance does not stand on the electrical supply cable.

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

Child Safety

This appliance is designed to be operated by adults. Children should not be allowed to tamper with the controls or play with the product.

Pets and children have been known to climb into washing machines. Please check your drum before use.

The glass door becomes very hot during the washing cycle. Keep children away from the vicinity of the appliance whilst it is in operation.

Keep all packaging well away from children.

Keep all detergents in a safe place out of children’s reach.

Use

Always unplug the appliance and turn off the water supply after use.

Do not overload the appliance. See relevant section in the instruction book.

Only wash fabrics which are designed to be machine washed. If in doubt, consult the care label on the clothes.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Only use the advised quantities of fabric softener. Damage to the fabric can ensue if you over-fill. Refer to the manufacturer’s recommendations of quantities.

As some duvets and eiderdowns should be washed in large commercial machines because of their bulk, please check with the manufacturer of the item before washing in a domestic machine.

Leave the porthole door slightly ajar between washes to preserve the door seal.

Your New Washing Machine

Your new washing machine meets all modern requirements for effective treatment of laundry with low water, energy and detergent consumption.

The programme selector dial combines the function of programme and temperature selection, making it easier to set the programme.

The programme progress display shows the washing phase and the end of the programme .

The special wool programme with its new delicate wash system treats your woollens with extreme care.

The ECO VALVE allows total use of detergent and reduces water consumption so saving energy.

Ecological hints

To save water and energy and help protect the environment, we recommend that you follow these hints:

Adjust the quantity of detergent according to the hardness of your water supply, the amount of laundry and the degree of soiling.

A programme without prewash is sufficient for normally soiled laundry.

The machine works more economically if it is fully loaded.

With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited soiling can be removed; the laundry can then be washed at a lower temperature, so saving energy.

In the interest of the environment

Materials marked with the symbol are recyclable.

Check with your local Council or Environmental Health Office to see if there are facilities in your area for re-cycling this appliance.

When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the power supply cable and make the door lock device unusable to prevent young children from being trapped inside.

Help to keep your country tidy - use authorised disposal sites for your old appliance.

How do we help to protect the environment? We use recycled paper!

Important

Your machine is fitted with a balance control device, which ensures the machine is stable during the spin.

If the wash load appears not to have been spun sufficiently at the end of the wash cycle, because it is not evenly distributed in the drum, the balance control device may have operated. It will therefore be necessary to redistribute the wash load manually and select a spin programme. For more detailed information see the section headed "Something Not Working".

If an incorrect option is selected, the corresponding pilot light flashes for about 2 seconds.

2 Spin button

By depressing this button you can reduce the final and the intermediate spin speeds or select the “no spin” option:

“spin reduction”: by selecting this option the speed will be reduced as follows:

Cotton: from 1400 to 700 r.p.m. and from 1200 to 600 r.p.m.

Synthetics and wool: from 900 to 450 r.p.m.

Delicates: from 700 to 450 r.p.m.

“no spin”: by selecting this option all the spinning phases are suppressed. To be used for extremely delicate items.

The machine will add 3 rinses on cotton programmes and 1 rinse on synthetic programmes.

4 Half Load button

Select this button to reduce water consumption on the rinse cycle when washing a smaller load of cottons or linens (maximum load size = 2.25 kg).

The machine will perform 2 rinses instead of 3.

5 Rinse Hold button

When selecting this option the water of the last rinse is not emptied out, to prevent the fabrics from creasing. At the end of the programme the pilot lights “door” and “end” illuminate. To drain water, proceed as follows:

turn the programme selector dial to position “O”;

select programme 14 (drain) or 15 (spin). In this case reduce the spin speed by means of the relevant button to adapt it to the fabrics to be spun.

After the machine has started, only the running phase pilot light stays on.

When the pilot light “wash” comes on this means that the machine is performing the washing phase. If you have selected the “prewash” function, this light will be on during the prewash phase too.

The “end” pilot light flashes in the event of operating problems:

-4 flashes = the door has not been closed

-2 flashes = the machine does not empty

-1 flash = the machine does not fill

To eliminate the problem, see paragraph “Something not working”.

The “door” pilot light indicates if the door can be opened:

-light on: the door cannot be opened

-light off: the door can be opened

-flashing light: the door is opening

It stays on during the whole programme indicating that the door is locked.

When the light goes out, the door can be opened (see page 9).
