The programme progress display shows the

indicates that the door can be opened.
●
●
Check with your local Council or Environmental
Health Office to see if there are facilities in your area
for re-cycling this appliance.
●
●
The special wool programme with its new delicate
wash system treats your woollens with extreme care.
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.
The ECO VALVE allows total use of detergent and
reduces water consumption so saving energy.
Eco logical hint s
To save water and energy and help protect the
environment, we recommend that you follow these
hints:
●
Help to keep your country tidy - use authorised
disposal sites for your old appliance.
How do we help to protect the environm ent?
We use recycled paper!
●
Adjust the quantity of detergent according to the
hardness of your water supply, the amount of
laundry and the degree of soiling.
●
A programme without prewash is sufficient for
normally soiled laundry.
●
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, so saving energy.
Im p o r t ant
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".

Bleach is very corrosive; it should be used with care
and kept out of reach of children.
The average weights of the most common items are
listed below as a guide:
Some stains such as fruit, wine, grass, rust etc. are
difficult to remove and should be treated before
washing with specific products, which can be found
in most household shops. In some cases it may help
to soak the stain before washing with a special pre-
soak product or biological detergent.

If you have used the machine to wash, rinse or spin
only non-colour fast garments, there may be dye left
in the sump. To ensure any subsequent wash is not
contaminated with the dye, select and carry out a
rinse and spin programme, without any garments, to
ensure that any dye is removed from the sump.

●
Once you have finished using the machine, you are
advised to unplug it and turn off the water tap.
●
Load the laundry loosely alternating large items with
small ones.
●
●
●
Sort the laundry according to the type of fabric,
colour-fastness and how dirty it is.
Avoid washing unhemmed or torn items as they may
unravel.
Before washing, empty all pockets of small objects
which may have been left inside (coins, keys, screws
etc). as these could damage the drain pump.
●
●
●
When washing curtains, remove the hooks.
Close poppers and zips and fasten loose buttons.
It is essential to wash new coloured items separately
when washing for the first time.
●
When washing fabrics requiring different wash
temperatures together, always select the lowest
temperature.
●
●
●
●
White items should not be washed with coloured
items.
Very small items (handkerchiefs, ribbons, socks etc)
should be washed in a washing bag or a pillow case.
Use a good quality detergent suitable for automatic
washing machines.
Use the correct quantities of detergent.
