NOTES AND ADVICE FOR THE USER

• Before using the washing machine, remove all the packing and locking devices used for the transport (locking

screws). If this is not done, serious damage may be caused to both the appliance and your home.

• This appliance has been designed for use as a domestic washing machine. Any other use is considered as

improper and therefore dangerous.

• Any modi cations or attempts to interfere with the washing machine can be dangerous for the user and may

damage the appliance itself.

• Considering the substantial weight of the washing machine, speci c safety standards must be observed during

handling.

• When the appliance is in operation, avoid any contact with the water being discharged through the drain hose,

as it may be very hot. Do not touch the door glass either, as this will tend to heat up during washing.

• Use the washing machine for machine-washable items only. In the case of any doubts, refer to the manufacturer’s

instructions on the label attached to the item to wash (see “Clothing care symbols”)

• Before placing the washing in the washing machine, make sure that all pockets are empty. Hard or pointed

objects such as coins, pins, nails, screws or stones can cause serious damage to the appliance.

• Never wash items that have been soiled with substances containing petrol. In the case where stains have been

removed using vaporising products, wait until these substances have fully evaporated from the surface of the

material before loading into the washing machine.

• The use and quantities of detergent, softener and bleach must comply with the instructions reported on the

packaging.

• Do not use detergents designed for hand washing, in that the excessive suds produced could damage the

internal components.

serious damage and will invalidate any rights to repairs under guarantee.

models, this is signalled by a  ashing start button.
