• Colour : Divide whites and colours. Wash new, coloured items separately.
• Size: Placing items of different sizes in the same load will improve the washing action.
• Sensitivity: Wash delicate items separately, using the Delicate wash program for pure
new wool, curtains and silk articles. Check the labels on the items you are washing or
refer to the fabric care chart in the appendix.
Emptying pockets : Coins, safety pins and similar items can damage linen, the
washing machine drum, and the water tank.
Securing fasteners : Close zippers and fasten buttons or hooks; loose belts or ribbons
should be tied together.
Prewashing cotton : Your new washing machine, combined with modern detergents,
will give perfect washing results, thus saving energy, time, water and detergent. However,
if your cotton is particularly dirty, use a prewash with a protein-based detergent.
Determining load capacity: Do not overload the washing machine or your laundry
may not wash properly. Use the chart below to determine the load capacity for the type of
laundry you are washing.
4. Wash any dirt or other material from the filter. Make sure the drain pump propeller
behind the filter is not blocked. Replace the filter cap.
5. Replace the base cover.
To do this:
1. Turn off the water source to the washing machine.
2. Unscrew the hose from the back of the washing machine.
3. With a pair of pliers, gently pull out the mesh filter from the end of the hose and rinse
it under water until clean. Also clean the inside and outside of the threaded
connector.

Electrical warnings
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, and other injuries, keep these safety precautions in
mind:
• Operate the appliance only from the type of power source indicated on the marking
label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your
appliance dealer or local power company.
• Use only a grounded or polarized outlet. For your safety, this appliance is equipped
with a polarized alternating current line plug having one blade wider than the other.
This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the
plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still doesn't fit, contact
your electrician to replace your outlet.
• Protect the power cord. Power supply cords should be routed so that they are
unlikely to be walked on or pinched by items placed on or against them. Pay
particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where
they exit from the unit.
• Do not overload the wall outlet or extension cords. Overloading can result in fire or
electric shock.
• Use stain removal products and bleaches before the wash cycle only when strictly
necessary.
• Save water and electricity by only washing full loads (the exact amount depends
upon the program used).
Declaration of conformity
This appliance complies with European safety standards, EC directive 93/68 and EN
Standard 60335.
