Precautions and tips

!

 This washing 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.

• 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 open the detergent dispenser drawer while the 

machine is in operation.

• 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.

• The door can become quite hot during the wash cycle.
• If the appliance has to be moved, work in a group 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 on Waste Electrical 

and Electronic Equipment, requires that old household 
electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the 
normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances 
must be collected separately in order to optimise the 
recovery and recycling of the materials they contain and 
reduce the impact on human health and the environment. 
The crossed out “wheeled bin” symbol on the product 
reminds you of your obligation, that when you dispose of 
the appliance it must be separately collected. Consumers 
should contact their local authority or retailer for information 
concerning the correct disposal of their old appliance.

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. using a screwdriver, 
remove the cover panel on 
the lower front part of the 
washing machine 

(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 and open the door at the same time.

5. reposition the panel, making sure the hooks are securely 
in place before you push it onto the appliance.
