Precautions and tips



This washing machine was designed and

constructed in accordance with international safety

regulations. The following information is provided for

safety reasons and must therefore be read carefully.

General safety

• This appliance was designed for domestic use only.
• The washing machine must only be used by adults, in

accordance with the instructions provided in this manual.

• Do not touch the machine when barefoot or with

wet or damp hands or feet.

• Do not pull on the power supply cable when

unplugging the appliance from the electricity

socket. Hold the plug and pull.

• Do not open the detergent dispenser drawer while

the machine is in operation.

• Do not touch the drained water as it may reach

extremely high temperatures.

• Never force the porthole door. This could damage

the safety lock mechanism designed to prevent

accidental opening.

• If the appliance breaks down, do not under any

circumstances access the internal mechanisms in

an attempt to repair it yourself.

• Always keep children well away from the appliance

while it is operating.

• The door can become quite hot during the wash cycle.
• If the appliance has to be moved, work in a group

of two or three people and handle it with the utmost

care. Never try to do this alone, because the

appliance is very heavy.

• Before loading laundry into the washing machine,

make sure the drum is empty.

Disposal

• Disposing of the packaging materials: observe local

regulations so that the packaging may be re-used.

• The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste

Electrical and Electronic Equipment, requires that

old household electrical appliances must not be

disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste

stream. Old appliances must be collected

separately in order to optimise the recovery and

recycling of the materials they contain and reduce

the impact on human health and the environment.

The crossed out "wheeled bin" symbol on the

product reminds you of your obligation, that when

you dispose of the appliance it must be separately

collected.

Consumers should contact their local authority or

retailer for information concerning the correct

disposal of their old appliance.

Opening the porthole door manually

In the event that it is not possible to open the

porthole door due to a powercut, and if you wish to

remove the laundry, proceed as follows:

1. remove the plug from

the electrical socket

.

2. make sure the water

level inside the machine is

lower than the door

opening; if it is not, remove

excess water using the

drain hose, collecting it in a

bucket as indicated in the

figure.

3. using a screwdriver,

remove the cover panel on

the lower front part of the

washing machine (see

figure)

.

4. pull outwards using the tab as indicated in the

figure, until the plastic tie-rod is freed from its stop

position; pull downwards and open the door at the

same time.

5. reposition the panel, making sure the hooks are

securely in place before you push it onto the

appliance.
