You must read them carefully before installing or using the appliance. Installation · All internal packing must be removed before using the appliance. Serious damage may be caused to the machine or adjacent furniture if the protective transit devices are not removed or are not completely removed. Refer to the relevant paragraph in the instruction book. [. . . ] D = Drain For emptying out the water of the last rinse in programmes with the Anti-crease SUDA BEKLETME option. Turn first the programme selector dial to O, then select programme "D" and depress the START/PAUSE button. 14 Interrupting a programme Depress the START/PAUSE button to interrupt a programme which is running, the corresponding light starts to flash. Cancelling a programme Turn the selector dial to O to cancel a programme which is running: three flashing dashes appear on the display. Now you can select a new programme. Opening the door after the programme has started First set the machine to PAUSE by pressing the START/PAUSE button. The door can be opened when the door locked light has gone out. If the door does not open, this means that the machine is already heating, that the water level is above the bottom edge of the door or that the drum is turning. If you cannot open the door but you need to open it you have to switch the machine off by depressing the ON/OFF button . After about 2 minutes the door can be opened (pay attention to the water level!). To restart the programme depress ON/OFF button again after closing the door. F = Spin Separate spin at the maximum speed for hand washed garments. You can reduce the speed by means of button SIKMA to adapt it to the fabrics to be spun. G = Short programme This is a complete programme that can be combined with the following options: spin speed reduction, no spin, anti-crease and delayed start. Be careful with rust stains which are not recent since the cellulose structure will already have been damaged and the fabric tends to hole. Mould stains: treat with bleach, rinse well (whites and fast coloureds only). Grass: soap lightly and treat with bleach (whites and fast coloureds only). Ball point pen and glue: moisten with acetone (*), lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain. Lipstick: moisten with acetone as above, then treat stains with methylated spirits. Remove any residual marks from white fabrics with bleach. Red wine: soak in water and detergent, rinse and treat with acetic or citric acid, then rinse. 16 Maximum loads Recommended loads are indicated in the programme charts. General rules: Cotton, linen: drum full but not too tightly packed; Synthetics: drum no more than half full; Delicate fabrics and woollens: drum no more than one third full. Washing a maximum load makes the most efficient use of water and energy. For heavily soiled laundry, reduce the load size. Ink: depending on the type of ink, moisten the fabric first with acetone (*), then with acetic acid; treat any residual marks on white fabrics with bleach and then rinse thoroughly. [. . . ] This may happen several times before the unbalance disappears and normal spinning can resume. If, after 15 minutes, the laundry is still not evenly distributed in the drum, the machine will spin at a lower speed. If at the end of the programme the laundry is not spun enough, redistribute the load manually and select the spin programme. · Spinning starts late or the laundry is not spun enough: Water is not visible in the machine. The machine, which is the result of modern technology, runs in a very economical way with low water consumption. [. . . ]
