SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1
Please read the installation and connection instructions before attempting to install this appliance.
2
Ensure you have followed the ‘Unpacking Instructions’ section carefully.
3
You should run an initial wash cycle without laundry to remove residues of factory-applied grease from
the drum and tub. We suggest a rinse and spin programme with a small amount of detergent.
4
It is important that when you have selected a rinse and spin programme, you attend the machine through-
out the cycle, which will also ensure that all installation connections have been correctly made.
5
It is also recommended after seven days use, that the connections to the outlet hoses are checked at the
taps and the appliance.
6
You may find some water deposits in the tub; this is the residue from the thorough testing, which your
appliance was subjected to in the factory.
7
Before using your appliance for the first time, please make sure that the mains voltage and supply
indicated on the rating plate (situated inside the filter door on the front bottom right hand corner of the
appliance) agree with the mains voltage where the machine is to be used.

Before cleaning or care and maintenance work, make sure that the appliance is switched off. For safety
reasons we strongly advise that you pull the mains plug out of the socket, switch off at the power point or
completely remove the fuse box servicing the circuit (see Electrical Information).

important that your appliance has adequate ventilation and that air flow underneath the appliance is not
impeded.
