QUICK START GUIDE: 

3FE-8612X

Dear Customer,

This Quick Start Guide is enclosed with detailed washing 

machine operating instructions. 

Before using the appliance 

carefully read the Operating Instructions, especially 

guidelines for safe use.

Before plugging the washing machine into the mains, 

remove the safety packaging and ensure the machine is level. 

Do not start the washing machine before it is properly 

set up. 

Only wash delicate fabrics, synthetics, wool using 

designated programs. Such fabrics should only be washed in 

the maximum load sizes recommended 

(see page 2.)

.

The correct washing machine operation extends its lifetime 

so make sure the drum seal is dry (leave the door ajar after 

washing). Do not clean the washing machine with harsh or 

abrasive detergents.
