the industry standards and with legal

requirements. However, as manufacturers,

we feel it is our duty to provide the following

safety notes.

• It is most important that this instruction book

should be retained with the appliance for

future reference. Should the appliance be sold

or transferred to another owner, or should

you move house and leave the appliance,

always ensure that the book is supplied with

the appliance in order that the new owner

can get to know the functioning of the

appliance and the relevant warnings.

• You MUST read them carefully before

installing or using the appliance.

• Before first use, check the appliance for any

transit damage. Never connect up a damaged

appliance. If parts are damaged, contact your

supplier.

• If the appliance is delivered in the winter

months when there are minus temperatures.

Store it at room temperature for 24 hours

before using for the first time.

General safety

• It is dangerous to alter the specifications or

attempt to modify this product in any way.

• During high temperature wash programmes

the door glass may get hot. Do not touch it!

• Make sure that small children and animals do

not climb into the drum. To avoid this, please

check into the drum before using.

• 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.

• Only use the advised quantities of fabric

softener and detergent. Damage to the fabric

can ensue if you over-fill. Refer to the

manufacturer’s recommendations of

quantities.

• 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.

• Do not use your washing machine to wash

articles with whalebones, material without

hems or torn material.

• Always unplug the appliance and turn off the

Helpful hints and tips

Sorting out the laundry

Follow the wash code symbols on each garment

label and the manufacturer’s washing

instructions. Sort the laundry as follows: whites,

coloureds, synthetics, delicates, woollens.

Before loading the laundry

Never wash whites and coloureds together.

Whites may lose their «whiteness» in the wash.

New coloured items may run in the first wash;

they should therefore be washed separately the

first time.

Make sure that no metal objects are left

in the laundry (e.g. hair clips, safety pins,

pins).

Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners, hooks

and poppers. Tie any belts or long tapes.

Remove persistent stains before washing.

Rub particularly soiled areas with a special

detergent or detergent paste.

Treat curtains with special care. Remove hooks

or tie them up in a bag or net.

Removing stains

Stubborn stains may not be removed by just

water and detergent. It is therefore advisable to

treat them prior to washing.

Special stain removers are available. Use an

appropriate stain remover and always follow the

instruction given.

Detergents and additives

Good washing results also depend on the choice

of detergent and use of the correct quantities to

avoid waste and protect the environment.

Although biodegradable, detergents contain

substances which, in large quantities, can upset

the delicate balance of nature.

The choice of detergent will depend on the type

of fabric (delicates, woollens, cottons, etc.), the

colour, washing temperature and degree of

soiling.

All commonly available washing machine

detergents may be used in this appliance:

• powder detergents for all types of fabric

• powder detergents for delicate fabrics (60°C

max) and woollens

• liquid detergents, preferably for low

temperature wash programmes (60°C max)

for all types of fabric, or special for woollens

only.

The detergent and any additives must be placed

in the appropriate compartments of the

dispenser drawer before starting the wash

programme.

If using liquid detergents, a programme without

prewash must be selected.

Your appliance incorporates a recirculation

system which allows an optimal use of the

concentrated detergent.

Follow the product manufacturer’s

recommendations on quantities to use and do

not exceed the «MAX» mark in the

detergent dispenser drawer.

Quantity of detergent to be used

The type and quantity of detergent will depend

on the type of fabric, load size, degree of soiling

and hardness of the water used.

Follow the product manufacturers’ instructions

on quantities to use.

Use less detergent if:

• you are washing a small load

• the laundry is lightly soiled

• large amounts of foam form during washing.

Washing Machine user manual 17

Degrees of water hardness

Water hardness is classified in so-called

“degrees” of hardness. Information on hardness

of the water in your area can be obtained from

the relevant water supply company, or from

your local authority. If the water hardness

degree is medium or high we suggest you to add

a water softener following always the

manufacturer’s instructions. When the degree of

hardness is soft, readjust the quantity of the

detergent.
