If the machine is damaged
If the machine has been damaged during transportation,
you should immediately notify the company responsible for
delivering it. Check that the washing machine is undamaged.
If you discover any damage, faults or that anything is
missing, you should notify the seller immediately.
Never leave packaging material in a place where children
may play with it.
When lifting the machine
Take care when lifting the machine. Incorrect methods of
lifting can cause physical injuries, and also increase the
risk of damage to the machine. Open the door and take
hold of it inside the top of the door opening. You can also
grasp the rear overhang of the machine top to lift this
machine.
Never lift the machine by gripping its control panel, the
door itself, or its detergent dispenser (Fig. 1).
Transit locking devices
When supplied the washing machine is packed using a
number of locking devices/packing pieces to prevent
drum and motor from damage in transit. These must all
be removed before the washing machine is installed.
Spread some of the polystyrene packaging materials on
the floor behind the machine and then lay the machine
carefully rearside down on them. Make sure that no hoses
are crushed in the process (Fig. 2).
Remove the polystyrene base the machine was transported
on. Then return the machine to its normal upright position
and undo the three screws on its rear (Fig. 3).
The three holes must then be plugged with the plastic
plugs supplied with the machine (in the plastic bag inside
the drum) (Fig. 4).
Identification of materials
All materials used in packaging this machine are
environmentally-friendly. The various plastics used are
identified and can be recycled:
• PE stands for polyethylene, which is used for the bag
around the machine and the bag in which these
instructions were supplied.
• PS stands for polystyrene (in this case moulded
polystyrene), which is used for the sections of
packaging needed to cushion the machine in transit.
The cardboard components of the packaging are made
from recyclable paper and should be taken to a collection
point for recycling.
The machine contains plastic and rubber components.
These have identifying marks to show what they are
made from, so they can be recycled or disposed of
properly at the end of the machine's life. The materials
are identified according to international standards.
