Instructions for Use 53
Important
Before putting the machine into use, don't
forget to remove the transport brackets.
Switching on a blocked machine may damage
the machine. Our guarantee does not cover
such damage.
•
Before switching the machine on, check that the
transport brackets has been removed.
•
Don't place the appliance in a room where the
temperature may fall bellow 0
°
C, causing
individual parts of the machine to freeze and
become damaged (hose may crack).
•
The appliance should stand firmly and
horizontally on a solid base (a machine standing
on an uneven floor is very likely to vibrate during
the spinning cycle).
•
Always consider the instructions for correct
placing and installation of the machine to the
mains and water supply. This will help you avoid
accidents and protect your machine against
damage.
•
The appliance is to be connected to the water
mains using new hose-sets and that old
hose-
sets should not be reused.
•
The appliance my not be built-in under the
kitchen worktop in a row of cabinets,
because the use of the appliance without
the top cover is not allowed for safety
reasons. Likewise, the removal of the rear
panel and the bottom of the appliance are
also not allowed.
•
The appliance should be positioned in such way
to provide normal ventilation.
•
The end of the outlet hose should not be
immersed in the discharge water (the machine
may pump the discharge water back).
•
During the washing cycle, the door of the
machine cannot be opened. It can only be
opened 2 minutes after washing is finished.
•
The glass door gets very hot during washing, so
take care of children.
•
Use only washing powder and other agents
specially designed for machine washing.
We do not take any responsibility for damage
caused by the improper use of bleaching or
colouring agents (coloured gasket and other
plastic parts).
•
Lime dissolving agents contain acid, so only use
those containing rust-protection agents. Always
consider the manufacturer's instructions. When
you have finished removing lime deposit, run a
few rinse cycles to make sure that the acid is
thoroughly rinsed. Even traces of acid can cause
substantial damage to component parts.
•
Never use washing agents containing solvents -
individual component parts may be damaged or
toxic gases may be produced. There is also a
risk of ignition or explosion.
•
When washing is finished, remember to close
the tap.
•
Your washing machine can only be transported
with transport brackets. It is usually enough to
use only one of the rods, that is the upper one. It
is much easier to insert the rod if you remove the
top cover. Before doing anything, however, don't
forget to disconnect the machine from the power
supply.
•
Data plate with essential information on the
appliance is fitted above the opening for laundry
insertion under the door frame.
