Warnings The following warnings are provided in the interests of overall safety. You must read them carefully before installing or using the appliance. Installation • Leave the porthole door slightly ajar when the appliance is not in use. This preserves the door seal and prevents the formation of musty smells. • All internal packing must be removed before using the appliance.
• Children are often not aware of how dangerous electrical appliances can be. When the machine is working, children should be carefully supervised and not be allowed to play with the appliance. • The packaging components (e.g. plastic film, polystyrene) can be dangerous to children - danger of suffocation! Keep them out of children’s reach. • Keep all detergents in a safe place out of children’s reach. P1131 • Make sure that children or pets do not climb into the drum.

Unpacking Positioning and levelling Install the machine on a flat hard floor. Make sure that air circulation around the machine is not impeded by carpets, rugs etc. Check that the machine does not touch the wall or other kitchen units. Carefully level by screwing the adjustable feet in or out. Never place cardboard, wood or similar materials under the machine to compensate for any unevenness in the floor. All transit bolts and packing must be removed before using the appliance.
Water drainage Electrical connection The end of the drain hose can be positioned in three ways: This machine is designed to operate on a 220-230 V, single-phase, 50 Hz supply. Hooked over the edge of a sink using the plastic hose guide supplied with the machine. In this case, make sure the end cannot come unhooked when the machine is emptying. This could be done by tying it to the tap with a piece of string or attaching it to the wall.

Further savings are achieved by washing small loads of laundry, since water and electricity consumption is proportional to the quantity and type of laundry being washed. • The programme selector dial combines the function of programme selection, making it easier to set the programme.
