General safety

• Do not change the specifications or modify this product. There is a risk of injury and damage to the appliance.
• If the appliance is delivered in winter months when temperatures are below freezing, store it at room temperature for 24 hours before first use. Please read the "Dangers of Freezing" chapter.
• This appliance is designed for use in normal indoor temperatures. The manufacturer is not responsible for freezing damage. Always unplug the appliance and turn off the water supply after use, cleaning, and maintenance.

Installation

• A qualified and competent person must perform the electrical and plumbing installation.
• This appliance is heavy. Take care when moving it.
• Make sure the appliance is not damaged during transport. Do not connect a damaged appliance. If necessary, contact the dedicated After Sales Service.
• Remove all packaging and transit bolts before first use. Serious damage can occur to the appliance or to neighboring cabinets or furniture.
• Keep all transit devices so that they can be refitted if the appliance ever has to be transported again. Please refer to the relevant steps in the Assembly Instruction.
• Never place cardboard, wood or similar materials under the appliance to compensate for any unevenness in the floor. Level the appliance accurately and tighten the lock nuts to prevent vibration, noise and displacement of the appliance during operation.
• If your appliance is installed on a carpeted floor, adjust the feet in order to ensure that the air can circulate freely under the appliance.
• Check that your appliance is not standing on the inlet and drain hose and that the work-top or the back of the appliance is not pressing the electrical supply cable against the wall. Always be sure that there is no water leakage from hoses and their connections after the installation.

Use

• The appliance is only for domestic use. Do not use the appliance for commercial and industrial use or for other uses.
• Only an authorized service engineer can repair this appliance. Use only original spare parts.
• Refer to the instructions on the label of each item (garment) before washing.
• Do not overload the appliance. See the Washing Programme Table.
• Before washing, ensure that all pockets are empty and buttons and zips are fastened.
• Any objects such as coins, safety pins, nails, screws, stones or any other hard, sharp material can cause extensive damage and must not be placed into the appliance.
• Treat stains such as paint, ink, rust, and grass before washing.
• Only use the advised quantities of fabric softener and detergent. Damage to the fabric can ensue if you overfill. Refer to the manufacturer's recommendations of quantities.
• Wash small items such as socks, laces, washable belts etc. in a washing bag or pillow case as it is possible for such items to slip down between the tub and the inner drum.
• Do not use your appliance to wash articles with whalebones, items without hems, frayed and torn. Underwired bras must NOT be washed.
• Garments which have been in contact with volatile petroleum products should not be appliance washed. If volatile cleaning fluids are used, care should be taken to ensure that the fluid is removed from the garment before placing in the appliance.

• Before connecting up the appliance to new pipework or to pipework that has not been used for some time, run off a reasonable amount of water to flush out any debris that may have collected in the pipes.
• Turn the inlet hose on the back of the appliance to the left or the right to suit the installation.
• The inlet hose must not be lengthened. If it is too short and you do not wish to move the tap, you will have to purchase a new, longer hose specially designed for this type of use.
• Before opening the water tap, be sure to tighten the ring nut well to prevent any leaks.

Helpful hints and tips

Sorting out the laundry

Follow the wash code symbols on each garment label and the manufacturer's washing instructions. Sort the laundry as follows: whites, coloureds, synthetics, delicates, wool-lens.

Removing stains

Stubborn stains may not be removed by just water and detergent. It is therefore advisable to treat them prior to washing.

Blood: treat fresh stains with cold water. For dried stains, soak overnight in water with a stain remover product, then rub in the soap and water.

Oil based paint: moisten with benzine stain remover, lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain; treat several times.

Dried grease stains: moisten with turpentine, lay the garment on a soft surface and dab the stain with the fingertips and a cotton cloth.

Rust: oxalic acid dissolved in hot water or a rust removing product used cold. Be careful with rust stains which are not recent since the cellulose structure will already have been damaged and the fabric tends to hole.

Mould stains: treat with bleach, rinse well (white cottons and fast coloureds only).

Grass: soap lightly and treat with bleach (white cottons and fast coloureds only).

Ball point pen and glue: moisten with acetone ¹⁾ , lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain.

Lipstick: moisten with acetone as above, then treat stains with methylated spirits. Treat any residual marks with bleach.

Red wine: soak in water and detergent, rinse and treat with acetic or citric acid, then rinse.

Treat any residual marks with bleach.

Ink: depending on the type of ink, moisten the fabric first with acetone ¹⁾ , then with acetic acid; treat any residual marks on white fabrics with bleach and then rinse thoroughly.

Tar stains: first treat with stain remover, methylated spirits or benzine, then rub with detergent paste.

Degrees of water hardness

Water hardness is classified in so-called “degrees” of hardness. Information on hardness of the water in your area can be obtained from the relevant water supply company, or from your local authority.

Characteristic	Degrees of water hardness
	German °dH French °T.H.
Soft 0-7 0-15
Medium 8-14 16-25
Hard 15-21 26-37
Very hard >21 >37

1) do not use acetone on artificial silk

A water softener must be added when water has a medium-high degree of hardness. Follow the manufacturer's instructions. The quantity of detergent can then always be adjusted (reduced) to degree of hardness soft.

Please always refer to the care label symbol of your garment and select the washing programme based on what it says.

Installation

Caution! Refer to the assembly instructions, in order to proceed with the installation. Warning! Make sure that mains plug is disconnected from the mains socket during installation.

Place the appliance on the floor and install it under a counter (kitchen worktop or sink). If a repair is necessary, the appliance must be easily accessible for the engineer. Put the appliance adjacent to a water tap and a drain.

For the venting of the appliance only water fill, water drain and power supply cable openings are necessary.

Water inlet

1

Connect the hose to a tap with 3/4" thread.

Turn the inlet hose to the left or the right to suit the installation. Tighten the lock-nut correctly to prevent water leaks.

Caution! Do not place the inlet hose downwards.

The inlet hose must not be lengthened. If it is too short and you do not wish to move the tap, you will have to purchase a new, longer hose specially designed for this type of use.

Water drainage

If you connect the water drain hose to a water trap under the sink, remove the plastic membrane (A). If you do not remove the membrane, detergent residue and clothes fluff can cause a blockage in the drain hose spigot.

Caution! Make sure that the water couplings are tight to prevent water leakage.

The drain hose may be extended to a maximum of 4 metres. An additional drain hose and joining piece is available from your local Service Centre.
