[. . . ] • 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. • Use only new hoses to connect the washing machine to the water supply. Used hoses must not be used and should be discarded. 5. Drain • Connect the drain hose to the siphon or hook it over the edge of a sink by means of the “U” bend supplied.

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). Notes: Too much detergent can result in excess foam formation, which reduces washing efficiency. If the washing machine detects too much foam, it may prevent spinning. Insufficient detergent may result in grey laundry in time and also calcifies the heating system, drum and hoses.

This enables faults to be detected in good time and the safety system can react appropriately. These faults are frequently so minor that they can be removed within a few minutes. The washing machine will not start, no indicator lamps are on. Check whether: • the mains plug is inserted into the socket; • the wall socket is functioning correctly (use a table lamp or similar appliance to test it). and the “Start/Pause” indicator lamp flashes.
