Equipment must be on a firm level surface and positioned against the wall with the brakes on.

into the machine.
4.
The drainage hose must be positioned into a suitable container or the gully to avoid spillages onto the floor.
5.
If using a container, empty it after each use.
6.
Make sure that the lid is firmly closed before operating.

At the end of cycle the machine automatically stops and beeps. Ensure that the motor has stopped before
opening the lid.

The machine will stop operating and the basket will gradually come to a standstill if the lid is opened midcycle.

Take care when opening the lid when equipment is moved away from the wall for cleaning, as equipment may
