When unpacking the appliance, check that it is not
damaged. If in doubt, do not use it and contact the
Service Centre.

the appliance. Serious damage may be caused to the
machine or adjacent furniture if the protective transit
devices are not removed or are not completely
removed. Refer to the relevant paragraph in the
instruction book.

Use
■
This appliance is designed for domestic use. It must
not be used for purposes other than those for which

washed. Follow the instructions on each garment
label.
■
Make sure that all pockets are empty. Objects such
as coins, safety pins, pins and screws can cause
extensive damage.
■

petroleum, methylated spirits, trichlorethylene, etc. If
such fluids have been used to remove stains prior to
washing, wait until they have completely evaporated
from the fabric before placing garments in the
appliance.

bag or pillowcase to prevent them getting trapped

softener. An excessive amount could damage the
laundry.
