SAFETY AND GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS 1. Safety instructions • The washing machine is appropriate for indoor use only. • Do not store flammable fluids near the appliance • Children must not be allowed to play with the washing machine or to climb into the drum. • The washing machine can be operated by children from the age of 8 years up, as well as by people with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge, provided they are supervised or instructed regarding the safe use of the washing machine and they understand the dangers resulting from the use. Children must not play with the washing machine. [. . . ] 5. Refit the mesh filter and screw the inlet hose on again. 6. Turn on the tap and ensure that the connections are completely water-tight. Water inlet hose (pict. 12, 13 or 14, depending on model) Check the inlet hose regularly for brittleness and cracks and replace it if necessary using a new hose of the same type. The inlet hose as shown on picture 13 has a safety valve to prevent the appliance against uncontrolled water inlet; if the safety valve inspection window (A) is red, the safety valve has been activated and the hose must be exchanged. Contact out After-Sales Service or your specialist dealer to obtain a new inlet hose. For unscrewing the inlet hose as shown on picture 13, you must push down the release lever (B - if available) while unscrewing it. If your inlet hose has a transparent hose coating (pict. 14), periodically check the colour of the transparent coating. Appliance exterior and control panel Appliance interior • Wash down with a soft damp cloth. • After each washing, leave the door open for sometime to allow the inside of the appliance to dry. • If you never or seldom wash your laundry at 95°C, we recommend to occasionally run a 95°C programme without laundry, adding a small amount of detergent, to keep the interior of the appliance clean. GB 5 Door seal • Dry the door seal after each washing with an absorbent cotton cloth; make sure that the door seal is completely dry before closing the door of the empty washing machine. • Check the condition of the door seal periodically. Filter • Check and clean the filter regularly, at least two or three times a year (see “Draining Residual Water/ Cleaning The Filter”). Do not use detergents containing solvents, scouring powder, glass or general purpose cleaners, and flammable fluids. They may harm the plastic surfaces or other parts. REMAINING MOISTURE CONTENT OF THE LAUNDRY AFTER SPINNING The degree of moisture remaining in the laundry after spinning mainly depends on the fabric type, the selected programme and spin speed. The lowest remaining moisture content can be achieved using the wash programme referred to by the Energy Label, with maximum spin speed. This programme is marked in the separate programme chart as “Reference programme for the Energy Label”. Below a survey of the remaining moisture content (in %) related to the various spin-drying efficiency classes. Spin-drying efficiency class A (= most efficient) B C D E Remaining moisture content in % less than 45 45 or more, but less than 54 54 or more, but less than 63 63 or more, but less than 72 72 or more, but less than 81 TRANSPORT AND HANDLING Never lift the appliance by the worktop (if available) when transporting. 3. Check that machine door and detergent dispenser are properly closed. 4. Disconnect the inlet and drain hoses. 5. Eliminate all water from the hoses and from the appliance (see “Draining Residual Water/Cleaning The Filter”). 6. Fit the transport bolts (obligatory). ACCESSORIES For some freestanding models, you can obtain via our After-Sales Service or your specialist dealer: • A Pedestal Drawer which can be installed beneath your washing machine. It raises your machine to allow for more comfortable loading and unloading, as you now no longer need to bend as far to access the unit.
