Installation
■ All packaging and transit locking devices must be
removed before the machine is first used. If they are
not, the result may be damage to the machine or other
property. See the section
Transit locking bolts.
■ All installation work and other work done on the product
must be carried out by a qualified technician. Work
performed by persons with inadequate knowledge
may adversely affect the satisfactory functioning of
the product and may cause personal injury or damage.
■ The machine is heavy, so take care when lifting it.
Never lift the machine by gripping its control panel,
door, or detergent dispenser.
■ Make sure that the power cord is not nipped or other-
wise damaged and that its hoses do not get crushed
or kinked when moving the machine in connection
with installation or cleaning etc.
■ If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced
by a special cable or assembly available from the
manufacturer’s service agent.
Child Safety
■ The washing machine should be used by adults only.
Do not allow children to play with it or touch its controls
and moving/movable parts.
■ When the machine is operating, the door glass will
get hot, so it should not be touched. Keep children
away from the machine when it is operating.
■ Before loading the machine, check that there are
no foreign objects or pets inside the drum.
During Use
■ This machine is intended only for normal domestic
washing and only in accordance with these instructions.
Using it for other purposes could lead to physical
injury or damage to property.
■ Only machine-washable items should be washed in
the machine. If in doubt, contact the manufacturer or
retailer of the item.
■ Follow the recommendations of the care label, and
make sure that pockets are empty and zips and buttons
are done up before washing.
■ Objects such as coins, safety pins, nails, screws and
other hard objects can cause serious damage to the
machine. Make sure that all pockets have been emptied
before putting garments into the machine.
■ Remove or pre-treat stains such as rust, dye, ink and
grass before machine-washing.
■ Avoid washing clothes which are frayed or excessively
worn.
■ Items which have been treated with chemicals such
as stain removal products, liquid domestic cleaning
products and similar must be rinsed thoroughly by
hand before they can be washed in the machine.
■ Wash small items such as thin socks, garment
ties/laces, lace items etc. in a special laundry net
to prevent them from getting between the inner
and outer drums.
■ Always follow the recommendations of the manu-
facturers of detergent and fabric conditioner concerning
the quantities of these products to use. Using too
much can damage your laundry items.
■ Do not overload the drum. Overloading impairs the
machine's performance and can damage laundry
items.
■ Before opening the door always check that the water
has been pumped out of the machine.
■ Do not leave the premises while the machine is
operating.
■ After using the machine, turn off its water supply and
disconnect it from the power supply. When removing
the electrical plug, grip the plug, not the lead.
■ Leave the door ajar when the machine is not in use,
to prevent any stale odour.
■ Make sure that the machine is disconnected from the
power supply during cleaning and maintenance work.
■ Servicing and repairs must be carried out by a service
company authorised by the manufacturer. Use only
spare parts supplied by these. Never try to repair
the machine yourself.
Important safety information
Before installing and first using the washing machine, read the instruction booklet carefull y, including
its hints and warnings. Doing so will ensure that your machine will perform properly and to best
advantage. Anyone using the machine should be thoroughly familiar with its instructions for use
and safety features. Save these instructions and make sure they remain with the machine if it is
moved or sold, so that everyone using it through its life can be properly informed on appliance use
and safety.

- the packing material:
Never leave packaging material in a place
where children may play with it.
All materials used in packaging this machine are environmentally-friendly. The various plastics used are identified
and can be recycled:
● PE stands for polyethylene, which is used for the
bag around the machine and the bag in which
these instructions were supplied.
● PS stands for polystyrene (in this case moulded
polystyrene), which is used for the sections of
packaging needed to cushion the machine in
transit.
The cardboard components of the packaging are made
from recyclable paper and should be taken to a collection
point for recycling. The machine contains plastic and
rubber components. These have identifying marks to
show what they are made from, so they can be recycled
or disposed of properly at the end of the machine's life.
The materials are identified according to international
standards.
- the old appliance:
At the end of the appliance's useful life, disconnect the
electrical plug from the power supply, then cut the electrical lead at the point where it enters the appliance. Make
quite sure that children will not be able to play with it.
A severed 3 pin plug poses a serious health/shock
risk if inserted into a socket. Please dispose of
effectively.
Remove or damage the door locking mechanism
to prevent a child from becoming trapped inside
the machine.
- energy saving tips:
To save water, energy and help protect the environment,
we recommend that you follow these hints:
● The washing machine is especially economical when
you fully utilise the stated filling quantities.
● Adjust the quantity of washing detergent according to
the hardness of the water, the amount of laundry and
the degree of soiling.
● A programme without pre-wash is sufficient for normally
soiled laundry.
● For small amounts of washing, use only half to two
thirds the recommended amount of washing detergent.
● Suitable pretreatment enables stains and small amounts
of dirt to be removed. You can then wash at a lower
temperature.
● Use the option button ”Economy” to wash garments
which are lightly to moderately dirty.
Disposal
Your new washing machine meets all modern requirements for effective treatment of laundry with low water,
energy and detergent consumption.
● The programme selector combines the function of
programme and temperature selection, making it
easier to set the programme.
● Programme progress display shows current phase
of the selected programme.
● The automatic cooling of the washing water from
90°C to 60°C before draining will reduce thermal
shock to fabrics, helping to prevent creasing.
● The special wool programme with it’s new delicate
wash system treats your woollens with extreme care.
● The unbalance detection system discovers and
prevents vibrations caused by incorrect distribution
of the laundry during the spin cycle.
● The ECO valve makes the full use of detergent
possible and saves energy by lower water consumption.
