This booklet provides important guidelines for safe use, installation, maintenance and some useful advice for best results when using your machine. Keep all documentation in a safe place for future reference or for any future owners. Note: this machine is solely for domestic use, i. e. to wash, rinse and spin dry household textiles and garments. [. . . ] The laundry may be left in the drum in this condition without the risk of excessive creasing. If a spin cycle is required please select the appropriate spin (see Programme Guide). When the option is selected for delicate programmes, the machine stops in the final rinse stage and the load will be held within the water in the drum, thus reduces creasing and enabling easier ironing. Press the "Fast Iron" button to continue with the programme. The machine will then pump out the remaining water and the programme will conclude with a low speed spin for approximately 15 seconds. Finally, the programme carries out a brief tumbling action to "loosen" the items in the load. 18 05651238. qxd 29-05-02 10:10 Page 19 Note: this model is fitted with an electronic "sensor" Note: this model is fitted with an electronic device that device that checks balancedis balanced correctly. is the checks the load is the load correctly.

Detergents, washing aids and amounts to use Choice of detergent General purpose detergents ­ Powder detergents, for a thorough wash, with bleaching agents, are particularly suitable for use in hot wash programmes (60°C and over), for heavily soiled and stained laundry. ­ Liquid detergents, are particularly suitable for grease stains, such as greasy skin marks, cosmetics and oil. These detergents are not suitable for washing stained laundry, as they do not contain bleach. ­ Biological detergents, not all the products available give a really thorough wash. Special detergents ­ Detergents for coloureds and delicates, without added bleach, also often without any optical brightening agents, to preserve the colour. ­ Detergents for a thorough wash, without added bleach or enzymes, particularly suitable for handling woollen fibres. ­ Detergents for curtains with optical brightening agents, resistant to light, to prevent yellowing from sunlight. ­ Special detergents for programmed use of chemical substances, depending on fabric type, degree of soiling and water hardness. Here basic detergents, softeners, bleaches/stain removers can be added separately. Additional laundry aids ­ Water softener, means less detergent can be used where water hardness is classed as hard to very hard.
