NOTES AND USEFUL ADVICE FOR THE USER
✽
The machine has been designed for
domestic use only.
✽
Any modifications or attempts to alter
the equipment in any way may be
dangerous for the user and cause
damage to the washing machine.
✽
Due to the weight of the machine,
special safety standards must be
observed during manhandling.
✽
The machine must not be used by
unsupervised children.
✽
Any modifications to the water or
electrical system must be carried out
by authorised specialists.
✽
After installing the machine, make sure
that it is not standing on the power
supply cable.
✽
Before operating the machine, remove
all packing materials and the locking
device used for protection during
transport (protection screws). Failure
to do this may result in serious damage
to the machine and to your home.
✽
If the machine is installed on a
carpeted floor, make sure that air is
free to circulate between the machine
and the floor.
✽
The washing machine must be
connected to a mains supply with an
earthed system complying with the
safety standards in force.
✽
At the end of every washing session,
the electric plug must be removed from
its socket and the water supply shut-
off.
✽
Never insert or remove the electric
plug with wet hands.
The washing machine must never be
overloaded.
✽
Only wash clothes that are machine
washable. In cases of doubt, check the
manufacturer’s instructions found on
the label attached to the clothes (see
“Clothing care symbols” pag. 6)
✽
Before loading clothes into the washing
machine, check that all the pockets are
empty. Hard or pointed objects such as
coins, pins, nails, screws or even stones
can cause serious damage.
✽
Clothes that have been dirtied with
substances containing petroleum
cannot be washed in the machine. If
stains have been removed using
vaporising products, before loading
the clothes in the washing machine,
wait until the substances have
completely evaporated from the
material.
✽
The washing machine door cannot be
opened until at least one minute after
the end of the washing cycle or after
the machine has been switched off.
✽
After washing rugs, blankets or any
other long fibre fabrics, remember to
check the filter and, if necessary, clean
it.
✽
If you plan to be away from home or if
the washing machine is not going to
be used for a long period of time,
remove the plug from the socket and
shut-off the water supply. It is also
advisable to leave the washing
machine door half-open to allow air to
circulate inside.
✽
Never expose the machine to the
action of atmospheric elements.
