If you sell or give away the appliance, make sure that the book is passed to the new owner. The following warnings are provided in the interest of overall safety. You must read them before the appliance is installed or used. [. . . ] Delicate synthetics, synthetics with non-fast colours and woollen garments must never be washed above 40°C. As you already know, your washing machine can also wash with cold water. However, it must be remembered that the detergents currently on the market have not been designed for cold washes and that in winter, when the water is very cold, they may not dissolve adequately. We suggest the use of liquid detergents. Sort your laundry. Study carefully the chart in this booklet explaining the symbols used on clothes labels (see page 32). The following points are particularly important : - a line under the bowl means that the garment cannot be washed using programmes for resistant fabrics such as cotton and linen; - do not mix coloured garments with whites; - anticrease materials like polyester/cotton should be treated as synthetics; - non-resistant fabrics like acrylic and most curtain materials should be treated as delicate fabrics; - the wool programme is designed specifically for pure new wool. Other types of wool and wool mixtures may shrink or felt if machine-washed. Woollen garments should be spun briefly immediately after washing. How much laundry can be washed in one load? Strictly speaking you should always weigh your laundry. The drum will take a maximum of 5 kg of cotton and linen. For synthetics and delicate fabrics, the maximum load is 2, 5 kg and for wool, 1 kg. As weighing can be complicated, we suggest you estimate the weight according to how full the drum is: cotton and linen : drum full not too tighty packed resistant synthetics : no more than 2/3 of the drum delicate fabrics and wool : no more than 1/2 of the drum. Prewash Prewash is not normally necessary. Your new washing machine combined with modern detergents will give perfect washing results without prewash, thus saving energy, time, water and detergent. However, when the laundry is particularly dirty (for example if you have to wash mechanics' overalls or butchers' aprons), you are advised to use prewash with a biological detergent. Before placing the laundry in the machine: - mend all tears, holes and ladders; - secure loose buttons and close poppers and zips; - do not wash frayed garments - mend hems before washing; - remove all small objects from pockets. Always use good quality detergents suitable for use in washing machines. Follow the indications given by the detergent manufacturer according to the weight of laundry, the degree of soil and the hardness of the water in your area; if you do not know how hard it is, ask your local Water Authority. Any liquid additives for softening the laundry must be poured into the compartment of the detergent dispenser drawer before starting the programme. The addition of water softener is particularly useful when drying the clothes in a tumble dryer after washing to avoid a static charge. Make sure that the level of the liquid never exceeds the MAX level. Powder detergents. The washing powder should be placed in the appropriate compartments of the dispenser drawer before starting the programme. Special detergents are availaible for coloured and delicate fabrics and for wool. "Concentrated" powder detergents Pour the concentrated powder detergent into the main wash ( ) compartment. Avoid selecting programmes including prewash when concentrated detergents are used.

[. . . ] Please ensure that these parts have been removed from the machine and keep them in case of next transport (fig. If you want to keep the alignment of your appliance with the adjacent cupboards, you have the possibility to cut the crossbar holding the hoses located at the back of your washing machine (fig. 2 A B Fig 4 Fig 5 Fig 6 Installation The floor must be clean and dry, free from floor polish and other greasy substances, so that the machine does not slide about. Installation on deep pile carpets and floor coverings with foam backings is not recommended, as the stability of the machine is no longer guaranteed. [. . . ]
