User manual BARTSCHER 821650

[. . . ] Place the washing machine on a flat sturdy floor, without resting it up against walls or cabinets. If the floor is uneven, the front feet of the machine may be adjusted until it reaches a horizontal position (the angle of inclination must not exceed 2 degrees). Once you have removed all the packaging from the washing machine, make sure it has not been damaged during transportation. If it has been damaged, contact the retailer and do not proceed any further with the installation process. [. . . ] Once the START/PAUSE button has been pressed, the time delay may only be decreased. Press the OPTION buttons to customise the wash cycle in accordance with your own requirements. • Press the button to activate the option; the corresponding indicator light will switch on. • Press the button again to disable the option; the indicator light will switch off.  If the selected option is not compatible with the selected wash cycle, this incompatibility will be signalled by the flashing of the indicator light and a sound alert (3 beeps); the option will not be activated.  If the selected option is not compatible with another option that has been selected previously, the indicator light corresponding to the first option selected will flash and only the second option will be activated; the indicator light corresponding to the button will remain lit in a constant manner. The corresponding indicator light remains lit in a fixed manner and the porthole door locks (the DOOR LOCKED indicator light illuminates). The icons corresponding to the wash cycle phases will light up during the cycle to indicate which phase is currently in progress. To change a wash cycle once it has already started, pause the washing machine by pressing the START/ PAUSE button; then select the desired cycle and press the START/PAUSE button again. To open the door during a wash cycle, press the START/PAUSE button; if the DOOR LOCKED indicator light is switched off you may open the door. Press the START/PAUSE button again to restart the wash cycle from the point at which it was interrupted. We recommend the following: • use powder detergents for white cotton garments and pre-washing. • use liquid detergents for delicate cotton garments and for all low-temperature wash cycles. • use gentle liquid detergents for wool and silk garments. The detergent should be poured into the relevant compartment - or the dispenser placed directly inside the drum - before the wash cycle begins. In the latter case, it will not be possible to select the Cottons with pre-wash cycle.  Do not use hand washing detergents because these create too much foam. Silk: use the special “Silk” wash cycle to wash all silk garments. We recommend the use of special detergent which has been designed to wash delicate clothes. These should be folded and placed inside the bag provided. Wool: Ariston is the only washing machine brand to have been awarded the prestigious Woolmark Platinum Care endorsement (M. 0508) by the Woolmark Company, which means that all woollen garments may be washed in the washing machine, even those which state “hand wash only” on the label.
