Operation Manual

Cautions and advice

In order to get maximum satisfaction and performance from your washing machine,

please ensure you follow the instructions given below:

9 Select the clothes load correctly and choose the appropriate

programme.

9 Before opening the door, check that there is no water in the

machine and the pilot light is off.

9 Put the washing products in the right proportion and in the right

compartment.

9 Small garments, such as socks, belts, etc. are best put inside a

bag to avoid their being lost.

9 Before putting clothes into the washing machine, make sure that

there is nothing in the pockets (coins, buttons, clips, etc.) and that

the zips are undone.

9 If you machine has a filter, you should check regularly that

it is clean & not blocked. Be especially wary of coins,

brassiere wire & fluff/hair.

9 The interior of the washing machine should be handled by

specialists only. NEVER attempt to repair or modify it

yourself.

9 After each wash, leave the door ajar to prevent the rubber seal

from becoming misshapen or mouldy.

9 When the clothes to be washed are heavily soiled or splattered

with mud, it is advisable to run a programme with pre-wash.

9 Always put the machine on fully loaded. This will conserve energy.

9 Do NOT use the dryer function if the clothes have been treated

with any non-aqueous solution.

9 Do NOT use the dryer function for items containing any kind of

spongy rubber or similar elastomer materials.

9 The dryer must be installed in a well-ventilated place, away from

the influence of gases from other appliances and from defective

installations.

9 The lower ventilation, between the floor and the base of the

machine must not be obstructed (by carpet, cloths, etc.).

9 When the machine has just been installed, or after a long time

without it being used, it is advisable to run a washing programme

with the machine empty, to eliminate any rusty water in the tubes.
