IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING : To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the washer, follow basic precautions, including the following:

• Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to the weather.
• Do not tamper with controls.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the washer or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in the user-maintenance instructions or published user-repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.
• Keep the area underneath and around your appliances free of combustible materials such as lint, paper, rags, chemicals, etc.
• Close supervision is necessary if this appliance is used by or near children. Do not allow children to play on, with, or inside this or any other appliance.
• Do not leave the washer door open. An open door could entice children to hang on the door or crawl inside the washer.
• Never reach into washer while it is moving. Wait until the drum has completely stopped.
• The laundry process can reduce the flame retardant of fabrics.
• Do not wash or dry articles that have been cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with combustible or explosive substances (such as

wax, oil, paint, gasoline, degreasers, dry-cleaning solvents, kerosene, etc.) which may ignite or explode. Oil may remain in the tub after a whole cycle resulting in fire during drying. So, do not load oiled clothes.

• To avoid such a result, carefully follow the garment manufacturer's wash and care instructions.
• Do not slam the washer door closed or try to force the door open when locked. This could result in damage to the washer.
• To minimize the possibility of electric shock, unplug this appliance from the power supply or disconnect the washer at the household distribution panel by removing the fuse or switching off the circuit breaker before attempting any maintenance or cleaning.
• Never attempt to operate this appliance if it is damaged, malfunctioning, partially disassembled, or has missing or broken parts, including a damaged cord or plug.
• Dryer is intended for only drying textile material.
• If the washer has been exposed to water, call an authorized service provider to avoid any risk of fire or electric shock.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinance.

• Do not use an adapter or otherwise defeat the grounding plug.
• If you don't have the proper outlet, consult an electrician.

WARNING : Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance - if it does not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

To minimize the risk of fire in a tumble dryer, the following should be observed:

- Items that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable or cooking oil constitute a fire 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 fire. Piling, stacking or storing oil-affected items can prevent heat from escaping and so create a fire hazard.

If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable or cooking oil or have been contaminated by hair care products be placed in a tumble dryer they should first be washed in hot water with extra detergent-this will reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard. 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 flammable or explosive substances should not be placed in a tumble dryer.

Highly flammable substances commonly used in domestic environments include acetone, denatured alcohol, petrol/gasoline, kerosene, spot removers (some brands), turpentine, waxes and was removers.

- Items containing foam rubber (also known as latex foam) or similarly textured rubber. like materials should not be dried in a tumble dryer on a heat setting.

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

- Fabric softeners or similar products should not be used in a tumble dryer to eliminate the effects of static electricity unless this practice is specifically 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 fitted with foam rubber pads, pillows, galoshes and rubber-coated tennis shoes should not be placed in a tumble dryer.

• The installation surface must be clean, free from floor wax and other lubricant coatings.
• Do not let the feet of the washer get wet. If feet of the washer get wet, slipping may occur.

are before washing

■ Before the first washing

Select a cycle (COTTON 60°C, add a half load of detergent) allow the unit to wash without clothing.

This will remove residues from the drum that may have been left during manufacturing.

■ Caring before washing

1. Care Labels

Look for a care label on your clothes. This will tell you about the fabric content of your garment and how it should be washed.

2. Sorting

To get the best results, Sort clothes into loads that can be washed with the same wash cycle. Water temperature and spin speed and different fabrics need to be washed in different ways. Always sort dark colors from pale colors and whites. Wash separately as dye and lint transfer can occur causing discoloration of white etc. If possible, do not wash heavily soiled items with lightly soiled one.

Soil (Heavy, Normal, Light) Separate clothes according to amount of soil.

Color (White, Lights, Darks) Separate white fabrics from colored fabrics.

Lint (Lint producers, Collectors) Wash lint producers and lint collectors separately.

3. Caring before loading

■ Combine large and small items in a load. Load large items first. Large items should not be more than half the total wash load.

Do not wash single items. This may cause an out-of-balance load. Add one or two similar items.

3. Detergent dosage

• The detergent should be used according to the instruction of the detergent manufacture.
• If too much detergent is used, too many suds can occur and this will decrease the washing result or cause heavy load to the motor.
• Use powder detergent only for the front loading washer.

* If suds occur too much, pleas reduce the detergent amount.

- Detergent usage may need to be adjusted for water temperature, water hardness, size and soil level of the load. For best results, avoid oversudsing.

4. Water softener

Line drawing of a hand inserting a device into a container (no text or symbols)

• A water softener, such as Anti limescale (Clagon) can be used to cut down on the use of detergent in extremely hard water areas. Dispense according to the amount specified on the packaging. First add detergent and then the water softener.
• Use the quantity of detergent as for soft water.

* Tips

Full load : according to manufacturer's recommendation. Part load : 3/4 of the normal amount. Minimum load : 1/2 of full load.

- Detergent is flushed from the dispenser at the beginning of the cycle.
