[. . . ] • Keep the packaging materials (plastic bags, polystyrene parts, etc. ) out of reach of children, as they are potentially dangerous. • If the appliance was exposed to the cold prior to delivery, keep it at room temperature for a few hours before operating. 5. Drain • Connect the drain hose to the siphon. • If the washing machine is connected to an integrated drainage system, ensure the latter is equipped with a vent to avoid simultaneous loading and draining of water (siphoning effect). 6. Electrical connection • Electrical connections must be carried out by a qualified technician in compliance with the manufacturer’s instructions and current standard safety regulations. • Data regarding voltage, power consumption and protection requirements is given on the inside of the door. [. . . ] Note: Use only specific detergents for washing wool. Remarks: • Any whitish residues on dark fabrics are caused by insoluble compounds used in modern phosphate-free powder detergents. If this occurs, shake or brush out the fabric or use liquid detergents. • Use only detergents and additives specifically produced for domestic washing machines. • When using descaling agents, dyes or bleaches for the pre-wash, make sure that they are suitable for use in domestic washing machines. Descalers could contain products which could damage your washing machine. Do not machine wash fabrics that have been treated with solvents or flammable liquids. • Do not use liquid detergent for the main wash when having activated the “prewash” option (if available on your model). • Do not use liquid detergent when activating the “Start Delay” function (if available on your washing machine). Dosage Follow the dosage recommendations on the detergent pack. They depend on: • degree and type of soiling • size of wash full load: follow the detergent manufacturer’s instructions; half load: 3/4 the amount used for a full load; Minimum load (about 1 kg): 1/2 the amount used for a full load • water hardness in your area (ask for information from your water company). Soft water requires less detergent than hard water (refer to the water hardness table in the operating instructions). Slowly turn the handle anticlockwise until the water drains out. Wait until all the water has drained off. • Regularly check and clean the mesh filter inside the inlet hose (see “Cleaning the mesh filter in the water supply hose(s)”). Do not use flammable fluids for cleaning the appliance. Detergent dispenser Clean the dispenser drawer and the dispenser compartment regularly, at least three or four times a year, to prevent detergent build-up: 1. Press the release lever in the main wash chamber downward and remove the dispenser drawer from the dispenser compartment. Remove the cover grid from the softener chamber. Remove the separator from the main wash chamber by pulling it upward (see dark arrows). Clean the dispenser compartment with a damp cloth. Refit the separator and the cover grid in the dispenser drawer and push the drawer back into the dispenser compartment.

If your supply hose has a transparent hose coating (fig. “C”), periodically check the colour of the transparent coating. If the coating begins to turn red, this is an indication that the hose may have a leak and should be replaced. [. . . ] “Waterstop fault” Switch off the appliance (by pressing the “On/Off” button or by turning the programme selector to the “Off/O” position - depending on the model), pull out mains plug and turn the water tap off. Tilt the appliance forward carefully to allow collected water to flow out from the bottom. Then: • Plug in the appliance again. • Turn the water tap on (if water immediately flows into the appliance without the appliance being started, there is a failure; turn off the tap and notify the After-Sales Service).
