evant steps in the Assembly Instruction.

materials under the appliance to com-
pensate for any unevenness in the floor.

the lock nuts to prevents vibration, noise
and displacement of the appliance dur-
ing operation.
• If your appliance is installed on a carpe-
ted floor, adjust the feet in order to en-
sure that the air must circulate freely un-
der the appliance.
• Check that your appliance is not standing
on the inlet and drain hose and the work-
top or the back of the appliance is not
pressing the electrical supply cable

Use
• The appliance is only for domestic use.
Do not use the appliance for commercial
and industrial use or for other uses.
• Only an authorised 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 fas-
tened.
• Any objects such as coins, safety pins,
nails, screws, stones or any other hard,
sharp material can cause extensive dam-
age and must not be placed into the ap-
pliance.
• 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 in-
ner drum.
• Do not use your appliance to wash arti-
cles 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.
• The water we use normally contains lime.
It is a good idea to periodically use a
water softening powder in the appliance.
Do this without any laundry into the drum
and according to the softening powder
manufacturer’s instructions. This will help
to prevent the formation of lime deposits
making your appliance more efficiency.
• Never pull the power supply cable to re-
move the plug from the socket; always
take hold of the plug itself.
