If the washing machine is connected to a built-
in drainage system, ensure the latter is equipped
with a vent to avoid simultaneous loading and
draining of water (siphoning effect).

qualified technician in compliance with the
manufacturers instructions and the current
standard safety regulations.
The technical data (voltage, power and fuses)

FIRST WASH CYCLE
We recommend that the first wash cycle be carried out empty. This will remove any residual water used
in the factory checks.
1.Turn on the tap.
2.Close the drum flaps.
3.Pour a small amount of detergent (about 30 ml) into the detergent dispenser .
4.Select a short programme and low spin speed (see programme chart).
5.Switch on the appliance.
PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
1.Packing
The packaging materials are 100% recyclable and
bear the recycling symbol . Adhere to local
regulations when disposing of packaging material.
2.Energy saving tips
Achieve the best use of energy, water, detergent
and time by using the recommended maximum
load size.
Do not exceed the detergent dosages indicated
in the manufacturers instructions.
The Eco Ball - a special system in the outlet - will
prevent detergent loss from the drum to avoid
detergent loss into the environment.
Use Prewash for heavily soiled laundry only!
Save detergent, time, water and energy
consumption by not selecting Prewash for
slight to normally soiled laundry.
Pretreat stains with stain remover or soak dried
in stains in water before washing to reduce the
necessity of a hot wash program.
Save energy by using a 60° C instead of a 90° C
wash programme or a 40° C instead of a 60° C
wash programme.
Save energy and time by selecting a high spin
speed to reduce the water content in laundry
before using a tumble dryer (for machines with
adjustable spin speed).
3.Disposing of packaging and old appliances
The washing machine is built from reusable
materials. The washing machine must be
disposed of in compliance with current local
waste disposal regulations.
Before scrapping old machine, cut of the power cable
so that the washing machine cannot be connected to
the mains.
Remove detergent from compartment if you
intend scrapping your appliance.
4.Child safety
Children must not be allowed to play with or in
the appliance.
5.General recommendations
Do not leave the appliance connected when not
in use. Turn off the tap.
Before cleaning or carrying out maintenance
switch off the washing machine and disconnect
it from the mains supply.
To clean the outside of the washing machine,
use a neutral detergent and a damp cloth.
Do not use abrasive detergents.
Do not attempt to force the lid open.
If necessary, the power cable may be replaced
with an identical one obtained from our After-
Sales Service. The power cable must only be
replaced by a qualified technician.
