•Electrical and water installation, if required, must be carried out by authorized persons.
•The machine may only be used for washing in accordance with these operating instructions - not for dry cleaning.

INSTALLATION
See the accompanying installation instructions.
WASHER DOOR
The door of the washer opens electrically. Con- sequently, the door cannot be opened normally until the machine is connected to an electric power supply.
To open the door manually, see the heading, Door will not open, in chapter 13, Trouble shoo- ting.
The machine cannot be started with the door open.
To open the door during an ongoing pro- gramme, see below, Interrupting a programme.
OVERFILL PROTECTION
If the level of water in the machine rises above normal, the overfill protection will start to pump out water and shut off the water supply. The programme will be interrupted if the level does not fall within 60 seconds.
INTERRUPTING A PROGRAMME
You can interrupt a washing programme by hol-
ding the 
button down for three seconds. The machine will then “remember” the point in the washing programme at which it was inter- rupted. To restart: fill with new detergent, if required, and close the door. The machine will then start from the point at which it was inter- rupted.
You can also interrupt a programme by pres-
sing 
for three seconds. However, if you stop the machine in this way it will forget where it was in the programme and you will have to select a programme to restart.
PACKING MATERIAL
Sort the packing material for recycling accor- ding to recommendations by the local authori- ties.
