SM1634 GB 14 NOTES AND USEFUL ADVICE FOR THE USER The washing machine has been designed for domestic use only, and as such any other use is regarded as improper and therefore potentially dangerous. Any modifications or attempts to alter the equipment in any way may be dangerous for the user and cause damage to the washing machine. [. . . ] Do not plug-in or unplug the machine with wet hands. If the power cable is damaged in any way, contact the specialised technical service centre. Position the appliance so that the power supply cable can be accessed with ease, enabling it to be disconnected when required. 10 USING THE MACHINE ADVICE BEFORE USING Closed Open Attention: Before running the machine loaded for the first time, we recommend that you run a short washing cycle with the machine empty. 11 This makes it possible to check operation of the machine and clean the drum. Each time you use the machine: check that all water connections are tight, the drain hose is positioned correctly (see connection to the water supply) and the supply tap is open. make sure that your hands are dry, then insert the plug into the power socket. divide the washing according to fabric type (check the labels on the clothes). check that the clothes to be washed have nothing in their pockets that might damage the washing, the washing machine or the filter 12 GB SM1634 USING THE MACHINE USE OF DETERGENTS The washing machine has a three-compartment detergent drawer. Compartment 1 on the right is for the pre-wash soap powder (1) Compartment 2 on the left is for liquid detergent or soap powder for the main wash (2) The centre compartment is for softener, perfume, starch (3) 19 15 NO use a low-foam detergent and softener (if necessary), of the type indicated for automatic washing machines. Use the doses recommended on the package. Excessive amounts of detergent may result in too much foam, and give a poor quality wash. Insufficient amounts of detergent may mean that the washing does not come properly clean. When filling the detergent compartment it is important that the detergent does not overflow into the compartment used for fabric softener, as this would result in a rinse cycle containing soap, which might leave the washing with white stains. Replace the filter, screwing in a clockwise direction and making sure it is hermetically sealed.
