[. . . ] PRIOR TO THE FIRST USE OF THE WASHING MACHINE GB Before connecting the washing machine read this manual carefully. Removal of the transport bracket The washing unit is firmly connected with the cabinet during the transport. Prior to switching the washing machine on, it is necessary to remove the packaging and all polystyrene plinths as well as the transport bracket from the back of the washing machine (see the chapter ”How to remove the transport bracket”). There is a danger of serious damages to the washing machine if is used without removing the transport bracket. [. . . ] It is specifically adapted for both powder and liquid detergents. From left to right you will find: - pre-wash I - wash II - bleaching - fabric softener Depending on your wash needs, fill the compartments with the correct amount of product (powder or liquid ) before starting the programme. Do not exceed the “MAX. ” level, marked on the compartment windows, detergent will overflow into the tub immediately after closing door. For concentrated products, do not fill above the first graduation scale. When fabric softeners get into the tub during the washing cycle and mix with washing detergents, it will cause an excessive foaming. Therefore you should observe the instructions, stated in the previous paragraph. Fabric softener They give a softer feel to washed laundry, making ironing easier and also reducing anti-static cling in synthetic fabrics. Bleaching, dyeing and colour - removal In principle it is possible to do this treatment in automatic washing machine, but we do not recommend it for these reasons: · If you use chlorine based bleaching, you risk corrosion of metal parts (drum) · Dyeing is a hazardous to coloured plastic and rubber parts. If any bleaching and colour - removal products are used, use the amount recommended by manufacturer and start the cycle immediately. If you accidentally spill any of these products on the machine, please wipe them off immediately. Hard and soft water In areas with hard water, we suggest you used a water softener together with detergent to avoid calcium deposits on the heating element. A very soft water may cause excessive foaming. We recommend the use of anti-foaming additives and to reduce the amount of detergent used. Put these additives together with detergents in the main detergent compartment II, (please follow the dosage on the package). Anti-foam protection The washing machine is equipped with a protection against excessive foaming during spinning (foaming, caused by a detergent overdosing). When it is detected, this protection will interrupt the mechanical action of the drum until all excess foam has been absorbed. 6 IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE WASHING MACHINE FUNCTION 1. Your washing machine does not start immediately after switching it on - but it begins to fill water only after 15-20 seconds, that is the time needed for the electric door locking. The drum starts rotating only after filling a certain amount of water. When washing cotton and resistant synthetics, the program does not end after final spinning finish but the drum goes on reversing up to circa 3 min (its rotation alters in one and another direction), which helps to release the laundry after spinning. Spinning has an interrupted start-up - the drum starts and stops running several times - it is so called interval spinning with an increased spinning efficiency. Front part of the top frame and the cabinet can get warm from the electric door lock, which is not a fault. The door is electrically closed during the whole washing cycle, so you must wait one minute approx. [. . . ] 40 cm width and 60 cm depth space. Unclip the plastic hose holder situated on the rear of the machine. hTo move the machine, pull the mobility lever located at the front of the machine (in option by model). The machine will stand on wheels for easy moving. Note: it is important to avoid blocking the openings on the underside of the machine when installing it on a carpet floor. WATER CONNECTION Should the machine be installed in a room which is subject to extreme temperatures, you need to empty water at the end of each wash cycle. [. . . ]
