See relevant section in the instruction book. Only wash and dry fabrics which are designed to be machine washed and dried. 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 2 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. 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. 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/dried in large commercial machines because of their bulk, please check with the manufacturer of the item before washing in a domestic machine. The users should always check that they have not left their gas lighters (disposable or otherwise) in their clothing. Never tumble dry items that have had contact with chemicals such as dry cleaning fluid.These are of a volatile nature and could cause an explosion. Only tumble dry items which have been washed in water or require airing. Plastic detergent dispensers should not remain in the drum during the drying cycle, as 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. Leave the porthole door slightly ajar between washes to preserve the door seal. Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair the machine yourself. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious malfunctioning. Contact your local Service Centre. Always insist on genuine spare parts.

It is gentle with your laundry, simple to use and easy to care for. The special wool programme with its new delicate wash system treats your woollens with extreme care. The anti-unbalance device ensures that the machine remains stable when spinning. Automatic cooling of the wash water to 60°C before draining, with the 95°C programme. This reduces thermal shock to fabrics, helping to prevent creasing. The two drying programmes will give your wash that soft, relaxed feel whatever the weather. In the interest of the environment Ecological hints To save water and energy and help protect the environment, we recommend that you follow these hints: Adjust the quantity of detergent according to the hardness of your water supply, the amount of laundry and the degree of soiling. Select a "Quick" programme for lightly soiled laundry. A programme without prewash is sufficient for normally soiled laundry. Try to load the maximum drying capacity of the machine as small loads are uneconomical. Always load well spun laundry. The higher the spin speed, the lower the electricity consumption and the shorter the drying times. 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. How do we help to protect the environment? We use recycled paper! 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 Detergent dispenser drawer 2 Programme guide 3 Drying indicator light 4 Drying time selector dial 5 "Option" buttons 6 "ON/OFF" button 7 "Mains-on" light 8 Programme selector dial 9 Door opening handle 10 Filter 11 Adjustable feet 1 34 5 67 8 PROGRAMMES SPIN REDUCTION A U T O WA S H QUICK WASH HALF LOAD RINSE HOLD ON/OFF 1200 LPR 720 2 9 10 11 Detergent dispenser drawer Prewash Main wash Fabric softener Programme chart P0239S 5 The Control Panel PROGRAMMES SPIN REDUCTION A U T O WA S H QUICK WASH HALF LOAD RINSE HOLD ON/OFF 1200 LPR 720 1 2 3 456789 10 1 Detergent dispenser drawer 2 Drying indicator light This light illuminates when the machine is drying. 6 HALF LOAD button Select this button to reduce water consumption on the rinse cycle when washing a smaller load of cottons or linens (maximum load size = 2.25 kg). 3 Drying time selector dial Graduated up to 120 mins for cottons and synthetics, this dial allows you to select the desired drying time according to the type and quantity of laundry and the required degree of dryness: - Red sector for cottons - Black sector for synthetics Turn the dial clockwise only. Depress the dial to pop it out. 7 Rinse Hold button Press this button to make the machine stop with water in the drum after the cotton, synthetic or delicate wash cycles. This prevents any creasing which may occur if the clothes are left damp in the drum. When it is convenient for you to empty the machine, simply press this button again so that the machine can proceed to drain and spin, or select the drain programme "R". If this button is not activated, the washing programmes will end with a spin. The RINSE HOLD option must not be depressed when using NON-STOP operation (automatic washing & drying). Cooling phase To allow the laundry to cool down, a cooling phase starts automatically 10 minutes before the end of drying and this phase must in no circumstances be reduced or interrupted. 4 Spin speed reduction button By depressing this button the spin speed is reduced as follows: - cotton & linen: (prog. A, B, C, D and F) from 1200 rpm to 650 rpm; - synthetics and wool : (prog. H, J, K and M) from 850 rpm to 650 rpm. - delicates: (prog. N, P and Q) from 650 rpm to 450 rpm. Important! In order to save energy and to avoid too long drying times we suggest not to reduce the spin speed when you wash and dry automatically. 8 ON/OFF button By depressing this button the machine starts operating. When depressing it again, the machine stops. The push button is provided with a child-proof safety lock. Move the small slider placed in the middle of the button downwards to lock the button in the «off» position. 9 Mains-on light This light will illuminate when the machine starts working and goes out when the ON/OFF button is depressed again to switch the machine off. 10 Programme selector dial With the programme selector dial you choose the desired washing and drying programme. Turn it clockwise. Depress the dial to pop it out.
