Only wash fabrics which are designed to be machine washed. If in doubt, consult the care label on the clothes. 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. Any objects such as coins, safety pins, nails, screws, stones or any other hard, sharp material can cause extensive damage and must not be placed into the machine.

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. 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. Only use the advised quantities of fabric softener. Damage to the fabric can ensue if you over-fill. Refer to the manufacturer's recommendations of quantities. As some duvets and eiderdowns should be washed in large commercial machines because of their bulk, please check with the manufacturer of the item before washing in a domestic machine.

Even small loads are washed "economically" because the amount of water used is regulated automatically according to the load and type of fabric. The Delay Start option allows you to delay starting of the wash programme, so allowing you for instance to make use of overnight economy electricity tariffs. Automatic cooling of the wash water to 60°C before draining, with the 90°C programme. This reduces thermal shock to fabrics, helping to prevent creasing. The special Handwash programme with its new delicate wash system treats your delicate items with extreme care. The special wool programme with its new delicate wash system treats your woollens with extreme care. The balance control device ensures that the washing machine remains stable when spinning. The turbidity sensor is a special device, which according to the degree of soiling of your laundry, analyses the water turbidity during the rinses cycle and allows your washing machine to add eventually additional rinses. Ecological hints To save water and energy and help protect the environment, we recommend that you follow these hints: Normally soiled laundry may be washed without prewashing in order to save detergent, water and time (the environment is protected too!). The machine works more economically if it is fully loaded. With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited soiling can be removed; the laundry can then be washed at a lower temperature. Measure out detergent according to the water hardness, the degree of soiling and the quantity of laundry being washed. In the interest of the environment Materials marked with the symbol are recyclable. Check with your local Council or Environmental Health Office to see if there are facilities in your area for re-cycling this appliance. When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the power supply cable and make the door lock device unusable to prevent young children from being trapped inside. Help to keep your country tidy - use authorised disposal sites for your old appliance. Important Your machine is fitted with a balance control device, which ensures the machine is stable during the spin. If the wash load appears not to have been spun sufficiently at the end of the wash cycle, because it is not evenly distributed in the drum, the balance control device may have operated. It will therefore be necessary to redistribute the wash load manually and select a spin programme. For more detailed information see the section headed "Something Not Working". 4 Description of the Appliance 1 2 3 4 5 6 Detergent dispenser drawer Control panel Door locked light Door opening handle Drain pump Adjustable feet 1 2 Automatic Recall Off Cottons Economy Synthetics Delicates Handwash Wool Silk Quickwash Temperature Spin Options Change Exit Start/Pause Memory 1 Memory 2 Delicate spin Spin Drain Rinse JLWM1603 3 4 Door locked light It stays on during the whole programme indicating that the door is locked.
