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.

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.

It is gentle with your laundry, simple to use and easy to care for. G G G G 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 90°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 G G G Ecological hints To save water and energy and help protect the environment, we recommend that you follow these hints: G Adjust the quantity of detergent according to the hardness of your water supply, the amount of laundry and the degree of soiling. G A programme without prewash is sufficient for normally soiled laundry. G Try to load the maximum drying capacity of the machine as small loads are uneconomical. G Always load well spun laundry. The higher the spin speed, the lower the electricity consumption and the shorter the drying times. G 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.

Turn the dial clockwise only. 7 Spin speed selector dial This dial allows you to select the desired spin speed or the following options: I = no spin. All the spinning phases are excluded. To be used for items that tend to wrinkle. If position is selected for cotton items (programmes 95°, 60° and 40°), the machine will perform an extra rinse (4 instead of 3). I = Rinse Hold. The water of the last rinse is not emptied out to prevent any creasing in the clothes if they are left damp in the drum. If you select the Rinse Hold option in an automatic washing & drying programme the machine will not dry. The spin speeds on the dial refer to cotton programmes. For mixed fabrics and wool, position 1000 or 1200 corresponds to 850, for delicates 650 rpm. Position 450 corresponds to 350 rpm for delicates. 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. 3 Drying indicator light This light illuminates when the machine is drying. 4 Mains-on light This light illuminates when the machine starts working and goes out when the ON/OFF button is released. 8 Programme selector dial Turn the dial clockwise to select the required wash and drying programme.
