Should the appliance be sold or transferred to another owner, or should you move house and leave the ap- pliance, always ensure that the book is supplied with the appliance in order that the new owner can get to know the functioning of the appliance and the relevant warnings. • You MUST read them carefully before installing or us- ing the appliance. • Before first starting up, check the appliance for any damage incurred during transport. Never connect up a damaged appliance . If parts are damaged, contact your supplier. • If the appliance is delivered in the winter months when there are minus temperatures. Store it at room tem- perature for 24 hours before using for the first time. General safety • It is dangerous to alter the specifications or attempt to modify this product in any way. • During high temperature wash programmes the door glass may get hot. Do not touch it! • Make sure that small pets do not climb into the drum. To avoid this, please check into the drum before using. • Any objects such as coins, safety pins, nails, screws, stones or any other hard, sharp material can cause extensive damage and must not be placed into the ma- chine. • Only use the advised quantities of fabric softener and detergent. Damage to the fabric can ensue if you over- fill. Refer to the manufacturer’s recommendations of quantities. • Wash small items such as socks, laces, washable belts etc in a washing bag or pillow case as it is possible for such items to slip down between the tub and the inner drum. • Do not use your washing machine to wash articles with whalebones, material without hems or torn material. • Always unplug the appliance and turn off the water supply after use, cleaning and maintenance. • Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair the machine yourself.

Helpful hints and tips Sorting out the laundry Follow the wash code symbols on each garment label and the manufacturer’s washing instructions. Sort the laundry as follows: whites, coloureds, synthetics, delicates, wool- lens. Before loading the laundry Never wash whites and coloureds together. Whites may lose their «whiteness» in the wash. New coloured items may run in the first wash; they should therefore be washed separately the first time. Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners, hooks and poppers. Tie any belts or long tapes. Remove persistent stains before washing. Rub particularly soiled areas with a special detergent or detergent paste. Treat curtains with special care. Remove hooks or tie them up in a bag or net. Removing stains Stubborn stains may not be removed by just water and detergent. It is therefore advisable to treat them prior to washing. Blood: treat fresh stains with cold water. For dried stains, soak overnight in water with a special detergent then rub in the soap and water. 10
