Wash small items such as socks, laces, washable belts etc in a washing bag or pillow case as it is possible for such items so 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.

Safety instructions Hints and tips Environmental information

Your New Washing Machine

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

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.

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".

The Control Panel

Never turn the programme selector when the appliance is working.

1 ON/OFF Button

To start the machine, press the ON/OFF button. The pilot light will come on. To switch off the machine, release the button by pressing it again.

2 Pilot Light

This light will come on when the machine starts operating and goes out when the ON/OFF button is released.

3 Quick Wash Button

This push button reduces the time of the washing and rinsing cycles of the cotton and synthetics programmes by approximately 60 minutes and 30 minutes respectively.

4 Rinse Hold Button

Press this button to leave the water in the drum when the wash cycle has finished. This option is available on cotton and synthetics wash programmes. The garments are left suspended in water after the final rinse which helps to prevent creasing. Do not use rinse and hold with the wool programme. Wool should be gently spin. When it is convenient to empty the machine, press this button again or select a drain or short spin programme. Ensure the ON/OFF button is in the off position before turning the dial.

6 Heavy Soil Button

By pressing the heavy soil button, the machine will take in cold water only on programmes

with a water temperature of 50°-60°-95° (programmes B - C and J). These would normally be hot or hot and cold. The water is then gradually heated to the required temperature. The effect is to improve the overall wash performance, particularly on biological stains such as egg, blood and grass stains, and heavily soiled fabrics, since the longer "cool-soak" phase as the water heats up provides the right conditions for the powder and the water temperature to interact, and achieve the best possible results.

7 Programme Selector Dial

To select the required programme, turn the dial in a clockwise direction until the programme required is shown in the display window.

Do not turn the programme selector anticlockwise (to the left). Ensure the ON/OFF button is in the OFF position when selecting a programme.

8 Spin Speed Selector Dial

The spin speed can be varied as follows:

Cotton & linen : from 1250 to 500 rpm. Mixed fabrics and delicates : from 650 to 300 rpm Wool : from 1000 to 300 rpm.
