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 carefully, 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.
