Warning:

  Before cleaning the washing machine interior, unplug the electrical power cord to avoid the risk of electric 

shock.

Exterior 

Proper care of your washing machine can extend its service 

life. The outside of the machine can be cleaned with warm 

water and a neutral non-abrasive household detergent. Im-

mediately wipe off any spillage. Wipe with damp cloth. Avoid

Cleaning in general

Important:

 Do not use methylated spirits, solvents or similar products. 

Safety instructions for use

To minimize the risk of fi re within the inner bowl, the following should be observed:

•  Items that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable or cooking oil constitute a fi re hazard and should not be 

placed in a tumble dryer. 

Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat sources Such as in a tumble dryer. 

The items become warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidation creates heat. If the heat cannot 

escape, the items can become hot enough to catch fi re. Piling, stacking or storing oil-affected items  can prevent 

heat from escaping and so create a fi re hazard.

If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable or cooking oil or have been contaminated by hair care prod-

ucts be placed in a tumble dryer they should fi rst be washed in hot water with extra detergent-this will reduce, 

but not eliminate, the hazard. The ‘cool down’ cycle of tumble dryers should be used to reduce the temperature 

of the items. They should not be removed from the tumble dryer or piled or stacked while hot.

•  Items that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or spotted with petrol/gasoline, dry-cleaning 

solvents or other fl ammable or explosive substances should not be placed in a tumble dryer. 

Highly fl ammable substances commonly used in domestic environments include acetone, denatured alcohol, 

petrol/gasoline, kerosene, spot removers (some brands), turpentine, waxes and wax removers.

•  Items containing foam rubber (also known as latex foam) or similarly testured rubber like materials should not be 

dried in a tumble dryer on a heat setting.

Foam rubber materials can, when heated, produce fi re by spontaneous combustion.

•  Fabric softeners or similar products should not be used during a drying cycle, to eliminate the effects of static 

electricity unless this practice is specifi cally recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.

•  Undergarments that contain metal reinforcements should not be placed in a tumble dryer. 

Damage to the tumble dryer can result if metal reinforcements come loose during drying. 

When available a drying rack could be used for such items.

• Plastic articles such as shower caps or babies waterproof napkin covers should not be placed in a tumble dryer.

•  Rubber-backed articles, clothes fi tted with foam rubber pads, pillows, rubber boots and rubber-coated tennis 

shoes should not be placed in a tumble dryer.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Cleaning the drain pump fi lter

Installation of drain hose

•  The drain hose should not be placed higher than 100 cm above the fl oor. 
•  Proper securing of the drain hose will protect the fl oor from damage due to any water leakage. 
•  If the drain hose is too long do not force back into the washing machine. This will cause abnormal 

noise and cause the machine to malfunction and leak.

Call for service.

•  Water leaks

Electrical connection

1. Do not use an extension cord or double adapter.

2. Have damaged supply cords replaced by the manufacturer or its service agents or a similarly qualifi ed person to 

prevent danger.

3. Always unplug the machine and turn off the water supply after use.

4. Connect the machine to an earthed socket in accordance with current wiring regulations.

5. The appliance must be positioned so that the plug is easily accessible.

•  Repairs to the washing machine must only be carried out by qualifi ed personnel. Repairs carried out by inexpe-

rienced persons may cause injury or serious malfunctioning. Contact your local service centre.

•  Do not install your washing machine in rooms where temperature below freezing may occur. Frozen hoses may 

burst under pressure. The electronic control unit may become unreliable at temperatures below freezing point.

 •  If the appliance is delivered in the winter months and temperatures are below freezing: Leave the washing machine 

standing at room temperature for a few hours before putting it into operation.

CAUTION

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental 

capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concer-

ning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

Safety instuctions for the installation

Install or store the appliance where it will not be exposed to sub-zero temperatures or exposed to the weather. Fit the power plug 

to a grounded wall socket that complies with all statutory regulations and ordinances. Ensure that the base opening is free from 

obstruction by carpeting if the washing machine is installed on a carpeted fl oor. In countries where there is a risk of cockroach 

infestation or other vermin, pay particular attention to keep the appliance and its surroundings in a clean condition at all times.

the top of the washing machine and underside of the worktop. 

CAUTION about the power cord

We recommend connecting most appliances to a dedicated circuit which is protected by a mains fuse.. That is, a single outlet 

supplying power only to the appliance concerned, without any additional outlets or branch circuits. Check the specifi cations 

of this owner‘s manual. Do not overload wall sockets. Overloaded wall sockets, loose or damaged wall sockets or extension 

cords, frayed power cords, damaged or cracked wire insulation are dangerous. Any of these conditions could result in electric 

shock or fi re. Periodically examine the cord of your appliance, and if its appearance indicates damage or deterioration, unplug it, 

discontinue use of the appliance, and have the cord replaced with an exact replacement part by an authorized servicer. Protect 

the power cord from physical or mechanical abuse, such as being twisted, kinked, pinched, squashed in a jamb of a door, or 

walked upon. Pay particular attention to plugs, wall outlets, and the point where the cord exits the appliance. 

CAUTION about location and moving
