ance and the relevant warnings.

• Make sure that small pets and children 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 ma-
terial 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 water supply after use, cleaning and main-
tenance.

ried out by inexperienced people may cause injury or serious malfunctioning. Contact
your local Service Centre. Always insist on genuine spare parts.

hose and the worktop is not pressing the electrical supply cable against the wall.
• If the machine is situated on a carpeted floor, please adjust the feet in order to allow air
to circulate freely under the appliance.

electrician or competent person.
Use
• This appliance is designed for domestic use. It must not be used for purposes other than
those for which it was designed.
• Only wash and dry fabrics which are designed to be machine washed or dried. Follow the
instructions on each garment label
• Do not overload the appliance. See the Washing Programme Table.
• Before washing, ensure that all pockets are empty and buttons and zips are fastened.
Avoid washing frayed or torn articles and treat stains such as paint, ink, rust, and grass
before washing. Underwired bras must NOT be machine washed.
• Garments which have been in contact with volatile petroleum products should not be
machine washed. If volatile cleaning fluids are used, care should be taken to ensure that
the fluid is removed from the garment before placing in the machine.
• As some duvets and eiderdowns should be washed/dried in large commercial machines
because of their bulk, please check with the manufacturer of the item before washing in
a domestic machine.

otherwise) in their clothing.

These are of a volatile nature and could cause an explosion. Only tumble dry items which
have been washed in water or require airing.

the plastic used is not designed to withstand the heat. If you wish to wash-through-to-
dry you should use the conventional detergent dispenser drawer.

of the plug itself.
