Important  
Your machine is fitted with a balance control device, which ensures the machine is stable during the  
spin. If the wash load appears not to have been spun sufficiently at the end of the wash cycle, because,  
it is not evenly distributed in the drum, the balance control device may have operated. It will therefore be  
necessary to redistribute the wash load manually and select a spin programme. For more detailed infor-  
mation see the section headed "Something Not Working".

Which detergent? ...  
And in which form?  
To ensure you obtain the best wash results from  
your appliance, it is important to use the right  
detergent in your everyday wash, and only  
detergents recommended for use in automatic  
machines.  
Notonlyaretheredifferenttypesofdetergent, but  
theyarealsoavailableindifferentforms. Whether  
you choose a powder or liquid in traditional or  
compact form is down to personal choice.  
Traditional Powders  
To maintain the appearance of your clothes and  
household textiles and to make them last longer  
you should use different types of detergent for  
different washes, whether for whites, colours or  
delicates.  
Pourthepowderdirectlyintothedispenserdrawer.  
Do not sprinkle powder onto clothes in the ma-  
chine drum.  
Traditional Liquids  
Liquidcanbeplacedinthemainwashcompartment  
ofthedetergentdrawermarkedwiththesymbol ,  
start the machine immediately upon placing the  
detergent in the dispenser drawer. Alternatively  
the detergent is measured into the specially  
designed dosing device* which should be placed  
on top of the laundry, and at the back of the  
machinedrum.

Maintenance and Cleaning  
Before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning  
you must DISCONNECT the appliance from the  
electricity supply.  
Descaling  
The water we normally use contains lime. To help  
prevent the formation of lime deposits we  
recommend you periodically, particularly in hard  
water areas, use a water softening powder in the  
machine.Dothisseparatelyfromanylaundryand  
according to the manufacturer's instructions.  
After each wash  
Leave the lid and the drum open for a while. This  
helpstopreventmouldandstagnantsmellsforming  
inside the appliance.  
External Cleaning  
Wipe the exterior cabinet of the appliance with a  
soft cloth and warm soapy water.  
Do not use abrasive cleaning products.  
Cleaning the detergent dispenser  
The detergent dispenser is very easy to remove.

The dangers of freezing  
If the machine is exposed to temperatures below  
0°C, certain precautions should be taken.  
Turn off both water taps.  
Select a wash programme and run for a few  
seconds to relieve the pressure in the hoses.  
Unscrew the hoses and drain them into a bowl  
at ground level.
