User manual CREDA HB41214

[. . . ] Inside the pack containing this manual, you will also find the guarantee and all the details necessary for installation. If the appliance is levelled correctly, it will be more stable and much less likely to cause vibrations and noise while it is operating, particularly during the spin cycle. If it is placed on carpet or a rug, adjust the feet in such a way as to allow a sufficient ventilation space underneath the washing machine. Connecting the electricity and water supplies Connecting the water inlet hose ! [. . . ] To remove the delayed start option, press the button until the display shows the text OFF; the symbol will disappear. €¢ Press the button to activate the option; the name of the option will then appear on the display and the corresponding indicator light will illuminate. €¢ Press the button again to deactivate the option; the name of the option will then appear on the display followed by the text OFF, and the corresponding 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. The actual duration can vary according to factors such as water temperature and pressure, the amount of detergent used, the amount and type of load inserted, load balancing and any wash options selected. (*) Note: 10 minutes after the START, the machine will recalculate the time remaining until the end of the wash cycle on the basis of the load inside it; this value will then be shown on the display. For all Test Institutes: 1) Test wash cycle in compliance with directive 1061/2010: set wash cycle with a temperature of 60°C. This cycle is designed for cotton loads with a normal soil level and is the most efficient in terms of both electricity and water consumption; it should be used for garments which can be washed at 60°C. The actual washing temperature may differ from the indicated value. 2) Test wash cycle in compliance with directive 1061/2010: set wash cycle with a temperature of 40°C. This cycle is designed for cotton loads with a normal soil level and is the most efficient in terms of both electricity and water consumption; it should be used for garments which can be washed at 40°C. Measuring out the detergent carefully will avoid wastage and help to protect the environment: although they are biodegradable, detergents still contain ingredients which alter the balance of nature. 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. Use powder detergent for white cotton garments, for pre-washing, and for washing at temperatures over 60°C !Follow the instructions given on the detergent packaging. Do not use hand washing detergents because these create too much foam. Preparing the laundry • Shake out the garments before loading them into the machine. €¢ Divide the laundry according fabric type (symbol on the washing instruction label) and colour, making sure you separate the coloured garments from the white ones; • Empty all pockets and check the buttons; • Do not exceed the values listed in the “Table of wash cycles”, which refer to the weight of the laundry when dry. [. . . ] The machine continuously fills with water and drains. €¢ If you have selected the function, at the end of the cycle the washing machine drum will rotate slowly; to end the cycle press the START/PAUSE button or the button. €¢ The drain hose is not fitted at a height between 65 and 100 cm from the floor (see “Installation”). €¢ The free end of the hose is under water (see “Installation”).
