Installation

• All internal packing must be removed before using the
appliance. Serious damage may be caused to the
machine or adjacent furniture if the protective transit
devices are not removed or are not completely
removed. Refer to the relevant paragraph in the
instruction book.

• Any electrical work required to install this appliance
must be carried out by a qualified electrician.

• Any plumbing work required to install this appliance
must be carried out by a qualified plumber.

• After having installed the machine, check that it is not
standing on its electrical supply cable.

• If the appliance is placed on a carpeted floor, ensure
that air can circulate freely between the feet and the
floor.

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 fabrics which are designed to be machine
washed. Follow the instructions on each garment label.

• Do not overload the appliance. Follow the instructions
in the instruction book.

• Make sure that all pockets are empty. Objects such as
coins, safety pins, pins and screws can cause
extensive damage.

• Do not machine wash garments saturated with
petroleum, methylated spirits, trichlorethylene, etc. If
such fluids have been used to remove stains prior to
washing, wait until they have completely evaporated
from the fabric before placing garments in the
appliance.

• Place small items such as socks, belts, etc. in a cloth
bag or pillowcase to prevent them getting trapped
between the drum and the tub.

• Use only the recommended quantities of fabric
softener. An excessive amount could damage the
laundry.

• Leave the porthole door slightly ajar when the
appliance is not in use. This preserves the door seal
and prevents the formation of musty smells.

• Always check that water has emptied out before
opening the door. If not, drain the water following the
instructions in the instruction book.

• Always unplug the appliance and shut the water tap
after use.

General safety

• Repairs to the machine must be carried out only by
qualified personnel. Repairs carried out by
inexperienced persons could cause serious danger.
Contact your local Service Centre.

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

• During high temperature wash programmes the door
glass may get hot. Do not touch it!

Child safety

• Children are often not aware of how dangerous
electrical appliances can be. When the machine is
working, children should be carefully supervised and
not be allowed to play with the appliance.

• The packaging components (e.g. plastic film,
polystyrene) can be dangerous to children - danger of
suffocation! Keep them out of children’s reach.

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

• Make sure that children or pets do not climb into the
drum.

• When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the
electrical supply cable and destroy the plug with the
remaining cable. Disable the door catch in order to
prevent children from becoming trapped inside while
playing.

Tips for environmental protection

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

• Normally soiled laundry may be washed without
prewashing in order to save detergent, water and time
(the environment is protected too!).

• 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.

• Measure out detergent according to the water
hardness, the degree of soiling and the quantity of
laundry being washed.
