NOTES AND ADVICE FOR THE USER

Before connecting the appliance read these instructions carefully.

Repairing the failure arising from inappropriate connections or use of the appliance is not covered by the guarantee.

This appliance has been designed for use as a domestic washing machine. Any other use is considered as improper and therefore dangerous.

Any modifi cations or attempts to interfere with the washing machine can be dangerous for the user and may damage the appliance itself.

Considering the substantial weight of the washing machine, specifi c safety standards must be observed during handling.

The washing machine must not be used by children unless supervised.

Any modifications to the mains water or electricity supply must be carried out by authorised technicians only.

When positioning the washing machine, ensure that the power supply cable is not kinked or squashed and is accessible.

Before using the washing machine, remove all the packing and locking devices used for the transport (locking screws). If this is not done, serious damage may be caused to both the appliance and your home.

If the washing machine is installed on a car- peted fl oor, leave suffi cient space between the appliance and the fl oor to guarantee the free circulation of air.

Do not overload the washing machine.

When the appliance is in operation, avoid any contact with the water being discharged through the drain hose, as it may be very hot. Do not touch the door glass either, as this will tend to heat up during washing.

Use the washing machine for machine-wash-

able items only. In the case of any doubts, refer to the manufacturer’s instructions on the label attached to the item to wash (see “Clothing care symbols”)

Before placing the washing in the washing ma- chine, make sure that all pockets are empty. Hard or pointed objects such as coins, pins, nails, screws or stones can cause serious damage to the appliance.

Never wash items that have been soiled with substances containing petrol. In the case where stains have been removed using va- porising products, wait until these substances have fully evaporated from the surface of the material before loading into the washing machine.

The use and quantities of detergent, softener and bleach must comply with the instructions reported on the packaging.

Do not use detergents designed for hand washing, in that the excessive suds produced could damage the internal components.

After washing mats, blankets or any other long-fi bre materials, remove the fi lter and clean it if necessary.

It is advisable to leave the door open at the end of the wash cycle.

Do not attempt to repair any appliance faults alone, in that repairs carried out by a non- professional may cause serious damage and will invalidate any rights to repairs under guarantee.

Repairs to the appliance can only be carried out by personnel authorised by the customer service centres. All repairs must make use of original spare parts only.

FOR WASHER/DRIER VERSIONS ONLY:

Never dry unwashed items.

Do not dry items that have been washed or had stains removed using chemical products.

Never dry items that have been soiled with substances such as cooking oil, petroleum, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, stain removers, turpentine, wax.

Remove these substances in a hot wash us-

ing an abundant quantity of detergent prior to loading the items in the drier.

Do not dry items such as foam rubber, latex, raincoats, waterproof fabrics, rubber mats, preformed items, clothes or cushions with foam rubber padding, as these may melt and damage other items in the washing or even the appliance itself.

WARNING!!!The final part of a drying cycle is the cooling down phase. Consequen- tly, never switch off the drier before the cycle has been completed. Otherwise, the washing must be taken out quickly and hung out to allow the heat to dissipate.
