Attention!

•Do not wash unhemmed or torn garments as they may fray.

•Foreign bodies may damage garments or machine components. Therefore, empty all pockets and turn them inside out, remove rollers from curtains or put them in a string bag.

•Put very small articles (belts, handkerchiefs, socks, bras with stiffeners, etc.) into a white canvas bag. Close push buttons and zips and sew on dangling buttons.

•Modern detergents and correct washing temperatures are generally sufficient to remove stains from fabrics. However, some stubborn stains, such as grass, fruit, egg, blood, rust and biro, should be pre-treated before washing. Depending on the type of fabric, many stain removers can be found in the shops. Stains should always be cleaned or diluted immediately as the older they get, the more difficult they are to remove.

•Garments may be damaged if fabric care symbols are not observed.

Wool – Only pure wool, identified by or with the label <<shrink-proof machine washable and dryable>> can be machine washed with the specific programme, other types of wool should be hand-washed or dry-cleaned.

5.2 OPENING THE DOOR

The machine is fitted with a safety device that prevents the door from opening while it is working.

1.Before opening the door, wait 1 or 2 minutes after the programme ends (“End” LED on) to allow the safety device to disengage.

2.Make sure there is no water in the tub and that the drum is not moving. Open the door by pressing the “Open door” button on the front panel and pulling it open.

Attention!

•If the washing programme is interrupted, you will have to wait from 3 to 15 minutes, depending on the temperature of the water, before the door opens.

Attention!

The water may still be boiling if the washing cycle was performed at high temperatures. If there is still water inside the drum, do not open the door!
