Precautions and tips

Opening the porthole door manually

In the event that it is not possible to open the porthole

door due to a powercut, and if you wish to remove the

laundry, proceed as follows:

1. remove the plug from the

electrical socket.

2. make sure the water level

inside the machine is lower

than the door opening; if it is

not, remove excess water

using the drain hose,

collecting it in a bucket as

indicated in the figure.

3. Remove the covering

panel on the front of the

washing machine using a

screwdriver (see figure);

4. pull outwards using the

tab as indicated in the figure,

until the plastic tie-rod is

freed from its stop position;

pull downwards until you

hear a “click”, which

indicates that the door is

now unlocked.

5. open the door; if this is

still not possible repeat the

procedure.

6. reposition the panel, making sure the hooks are

securely in place before you push it onto the appliance.

 The machine was designed and constructed in

accordance with international safety regulations. The

following information is provided for safety reasons and

must therefore be read carefully.

General safety

• This appliance was designed for domestic use only.

• 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 concerning use of the appliance by a

person responsible for their safety. Children should be

supervised to ensure that they do not play with the

appliance.

• The machine must only be used by adults, in

accordance with the instructions given in this manual.

• Do not touch the machine when barefoot or with wet

or damp hands or feet.

• Do not pull on the power supply cable when

unplugging the appliance from the electricity socket.

Hold the plug and pull.

• Do not touch the drained water as it may reach

extremely high temperatures.

• Never force the porthole door. This could damage the

safety lock mechanism designed to prevent

accidental opening.

• If the appliance breaks down, do not under any

circumstances access the internal mechanisms in an

attempt to repair it yourself.

• Always keep children well away from the appliance

while it is operating.

• If it must be moved, proceed with the help of two or

three people and handle it with the utmost care.

Never try to do this alone, because the appliance is

very heavy.

• Before loading laundry into the washing machine,

make sure the drum is empty.

Disposal

• Disposing of the packaging materials: observe local

regulations so that the packaging may be re-used.

• The European Directive 2002/96/EC relating to Waste

Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) states

that household appliances should not be disposed of

using the normal solid urban waste cycle. Exhausted

appliances should be collected separately in order to

optimise the cost of re-using and recycling the

materials inside the machine, while preventing

potential damage to the atmosphere and to public

health. The crossed-out dustbin is marked on all

products to remind the owner of their obligations

regarding separated waste collection.

For more information relating to the correct disposal of

household appliances, owners should contact their

local authorities or appliance dealer.
