Safety warnings
• If the plug or cord is damaged, do not connect the appliance to the
mains power supply. If the cord is damaged it should be replaced
by the manufacturer or appointed service agent in order to avoid a
hazard. If the appliance is damaged, contact your retailer.
• To remove the plug from the socket, pull on the body of the plug,
not the cable.
• Do not plug the appliance in to the mains power supply with wet or
damp hands, or when the sockets are wet or damp.
• Never touch the appliance with wet hands or feet.
• Never open the detergent drawer when a programme is running.
• Never force the appliance door open when a programme is running.
• Since the appliance can reach high temperatures while running, do
not touch the drain hose or drained water during draining.
• In case of any failure, first unplug the appliance and close the
water tap.
• Repair on this appliance should only be undertaken by suitably
qualified personnel.
• Keep the packing materials away from children to prevent risk
of injury.
• Do not let children play with the washing machine.
• Keep pets away from the appliance.
• The appliance should not be installed on carpeted surfaces as this
can block the air ventilation on the base.

6
Warnings
To avoid the risk of fire, electric shocks, injury or damage when using
your washing machine, please take the following precautions:
• Please read all the instructions before using the washing machine.
• Do not wash items that have previously been cleaned, washed,
soaked or treated with petrol, solvents for dry cleaning, other
inflammable substances or explosives, as they produce fumes that
could catch fire or explode.
• Do not add petrol, solvents for dry cleaning or other inflammable or
explosive substances to the wash water as they produce fumes that
could catch fire or explode.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the washing machine or try
to carry out any type of servicing unless it is recommended in the
maintenance instructions in the manual.
• Do not climb onto the machine or stand on the open porthole door.
• Do not use an extension lead or adaptor to connect your washing
machine to the mains supply.
• Follow the washing instructions recommended by the manufacturer
of the garment to be washed.
• Do not turn your washing machine on until you are sure that:
It has been installed in accordance with the installation instructions.
All the water, drainage, mains electricity and earth connections
meet the local regulations and/or other applicable
regulations.
Important: Ensure that the transit bolts have been removed prior
to using the machine (see page 32).

7
Recommendations
• Residues of detergent or softener left in the detergent drawer for
long periods will dry and stick to the detergent drawer. To prevent
this put the detergent and softener into the detergent drawer just
before washing.
• It is recommended that the pre-wash programme should only be
used for very dirty clothes.
• Do not exceed the maximum loading capacity.
• When the machine is not in use, keep the water tap closed.
• The appliance is not intended for use by people (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised
to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• If the appliance is not to be used for prolonged periods of time,
unplug the appliance, close the water tap and leave the door ajar
to keep the inside of the machine dry and to prevent unpleasant
odours from developing.
• As a result of the quality control procedures during production, a
certain amount of water may remain in the appliance. This is normal
and does not signify a fault.
• Do not remove the rating plate. The information on it is important.
• This appliance should not be installed in locations where
the ambient temperature may fall below 0°C. Use in ambient
temperatures below 0°C may damage the machine.
• The most energy and water ecient wash programmes are
generally those that run at a low temperature and for a long time.
• Loading the washing machine to the full capacity indicated by the
manufacturer for the respective wash programmes will save energy
and water

8
Before first use
When your washing machine has been correctly installed, we
recommend that you pre-clean the machine.
This is to check that the installation, the connections and the drainage
are all correct, and to thoroughly clean the inside of the washing
machine before any wash programmes are run.
Prior to pre-cleaning you should ensure the transit bolts have been
removed.
• Select the Cotton 90ºC programme (programme M) and add a
normal dose of detergent into the detergent dispenser.
• Press the “Start / Pause” button.
Preparing garments for washing
• Wash lightly soiled garments using a short programme.
• Use a programme without prewash for medium-soiled garments.
• Wash heavily soiled garments using a long programme with
prewash.
• Wash white and coloured loads separately.
• We recommend that small garments are placed in a wash bag.
• We recommend using the delicate programmes for sensitive fabrics.
• Separate clothes according to their types (cotton, synthetic,
sensitive, woollen, etc.), required washing temperatures and level of
dirtiness.
• Since new coloured clothes may shed dye on the first wash, wash
them separately.
• Remove any foreign objects found on the items to be washed, for
example curtain hooks and wires.

9
• Fasten all zips and buttons.
• Turn garments, such as knitted fabrics, inside out.
• Before placing the clothes in the drum, make sure all the pockets
are empty. Any small objects may block the drain pump.
• We recommend loading the washing machine to its full capacity for
best water and energy eciency.
• Whenever possible, we recommend that you wash garments of
dierent sizes within the same wash programme. This improves
the washing action and also aids the correct distribution of the
garments in the drum when spin-drying, and the washing machine
will therefore be quieter.

10
Detergents and
additives
Your washing machine’s detergent
dispenser has three sections as
shown in figure 1.
Add the required amount of
detergent and fabric softener
into the specific sections of the
detergent dispenser before
starting the wash programme.
The detergent dispenser is
designed to allow the use of liquid detergents rather than adding
them to the drum. You should only insert liquid detergent into the
main wash detergent compartment and ensure that concentrated
liquid detergent is diluted with an equal quantity of water before use.
• Liquid detergent should not be used on programmes with a
prewash stage or when using the delay timer.
• For wash loads that require pre-washing, add ¼ of the required
powder detergent into the prewash section, and the remainder to
the main detergent section.
• Do not exceed the “MAX” level in the fabric softener section and
ensure that concentrated fabric softeners are diluted before use
for best washing results and to help prevent clogging.
• Remember that the amount of detergent to be used will always
depend on:
1 Prewash
2 Main wash
Fabric Softener
Fig. 1

11
• The amount of clothes to be washed.
• How heavily the clothes are soiled.
• The hardness of the water (Information on water hardness in your
area can be obtained from your local water board).
We recommend the use of a decalcifying product if the water
hardness is high in your area.
Eco note
The use of more detergent than necessary will not improve your
washing results. Many brands of detergent (and fabric softener/
conditioner) contain phosphates which escape sewage treatment
and can cause excessive algae growth in waterways. This in turn
can pollute drinking water and cause marine life ‘dead zones’
which are underwater environments deprived of oxygen that
are subsequently unable to support life. Please consider the
environment and try to source an environmentally friendly brand.
Loading the washing machine
- Open the door.
- Remove any foreign objects from the appliance
- Add the items to be washed separately, ensuring they are loaded
evenly.
- When closing the door, ensure that no item is trapped between the
door and the door seal.
- Close the door securely, otherwise the programme will not start.
