Cautions and advice about using your
washing machine
In order to get maximum satisfaction and performance from your
washing machine, please ensure you follow the instructions given
below:
9Select the clothes load correctly and choose the appropriate
programme.
9Before opening the door, check that there is no water in
the machine and the pilot light is off.
9Put the washing products in the right proportion and in the right
compartment.
9Small garments such as socks, belts, etc. are best put
inside a bag to avoid their being lost.
9Before 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.
9If your machine has a filter, you should check regularly
that it is clean & not blocked. Be especially wary of coins,
brassiere wire & fluff/hair.
9The interior of the washing machine should be handled by
specialists only. NEVER attempt to repair or modify it
yourself.
9After each wash, leave the door ajar to prevent the rubber
seal from becoming misshapen or mouldy.
9When the clothes to be washed are heavily soiled or splattered
with mud, it is advisable to run a programme with pre-wash.
9Unless doing half load washing, always put the machine
on fully loaded to save energy.
9When 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.

Using your BTWM4
NOTE: (*VERY IMPORTANT*) – You must
ensure that the transportation bolts
have been removed before you attempt

Only once you are sure this has been done can you do
the following:
1) Plug in your machine
2) Turn on the water supply
Note on using your
Washing Machine
for the first time:
There may be water
left inside your
machine after factory
tests and trials.
•The first time you run a
wash cycle, you should not
put laundry in your machine
as it may need to drain water.
•Pour half a measuring cup of
normal or all purpose detergent
into compartment 2 ( ) in your
detergent dispenser and select
wash program 2 (without prewash)
for 90
° C.

Before Loading your
Washing Machine
NOTE: Before putting the clothes into the machine:
oSeparate the clothes into 3 lots (cotton,
synthetics and wool).
9Within each group, separate the coloureds from
the whites. *NOTE – see next page for tips.
9Once the clothes have been separated, you can
put them into the drum of the washing machine,
separately and according to colour and group,
loose, piece by piece. Do not exceed the
maximum weight of clothes as given below:
Cotton Maximum: 5 kg
HOW TO
OPEN THE
DOOR
Pressing the hidden
lever (1) with the
index and middle
fingers, pull
outwards.
oLoad your clothes inside the drum one item at a
time and spread them about well.
oShut the door of your machine, being careful
that no pieces of clothing are jammed between
the door and the gasket seal. Make sure the door
is closed tightly otherwise it won’t work.

Tips for loading your laundry:
:Never wash
your white
and
coloured
clothes
together.
ÂSince your
new
coloured
clothes may
shed dye on
the first
wash,
wash them
separately.
ÂBe careful that
no metal
pieces are in
the pockets of
your clothes.
There is the
chance of rust
residues
coming off and
causing stains.
ÂZip-up and
button your
clothes.
ÂRemove the
plastic or metal
hooks of curtains
or place them
inside a washing
bag and tie.
ÂPull textiles
like trousers,
knitted fabric, T-
shirts and
sweatshirts inside
out.
ÂWash small
clothes like socks
and handkerchiefs
in a washing bag.
REMEMBER TO READ THE LABELS ON YOUR CLOTHES BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO
WASH THEM!
