IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Installation
■ When unpacking the appliance, check that it
is not damaged. If in doubt, do not use it and
contact the Service Centre.
■ 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 adjustable 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.
■ Do not overload the appliance. Follow the
instructions in the instruction book.
■ Only wash fabrics which are designed to be
machine washed. Follow the instructions on
each garment label.
■ 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.

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.

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.
