Removing the packaging and check After unpacking, make sure that the washing machine is undamaged. Keep the packaging materials (plastic bags, polystyrene parts, etc. ) out of reach of children, as they are potentially dangerous. 6. Electrical connections Electrical connections must be carried out by a qualified technician in compliance with the manufacturers instructions and current standard safety regulations. Voltage information, power consumption and electrical protection data are supplied on the inside of the appliance door. The appliance must be connected to the mains exclusively by means of a socket with an earth connection in accordance with established regulations. [. . . ] The machine will automatically deliver both products to the laundry at the appropriate time, the detergent is added in the main wash, the bleach is added during the second cold rinse. 112 3gb10001. fm5 Page 113 Wednesday, September 5, 2001 5:17 PM 2. Pre-bleach method: Laundry with heavy stains may be PRE-BLEACHED in the machine prior to carrying out a normal wash programme. Proceed by diluting the bleach in approximately 1l water outside of the washing machine in a small container. For a machine with temperature selector: Turn the programme selector to programme 4. Warning: Bleaching is only possible in a cold wash, otherwise your laundry and your appliance will be damaged. For a machine without temperature selector: Turn the programme selector to programme 5. Do not fully close the door but leave it ajar to allow the drum to dry out. Changing programme 1. Press the On/Off button. For this programme do not add any further detergent. Changing options The options can be selected or deselected without switching off the appliance. Programme interruption or pause To interrupt the running programme for a certain period and continue it at a later time: 1. Press the On/Off button. 2. Following the desired pause press the On/Off button once again.

Switch off the appliance and drain the water (see next paragraph Draining residual water). Slowly turn the filter anticlockwise without unscrewing it completely (using pliers to handle the filter grip makes screwing easier). Pour 1/2 litre of water into the detergent drawer and check that water does not leak from the filter. Check the filter if the appliance is not draining properly or if it fails to perform spin cycles. Remove the filter if the pump is blocked by an object (buttons, coins, safety pins, etc. ). IMPORTANT: Make sure the water has had time to cool before draining the appliance. 2 6 4 DRAINING RESIDUAL WATER 1. Switch off the appliance. 3. Unclip the drain hose connection on the rear part of the machine (see arrow A and B). Note: After a correct draining cycle the residual water amounts about up to 1 litre but there can be up to 20 litres of water in the machine if stopped during a programme and even 40 litres if the pump is blocked. Fix again the drain hose on the rear side of the machine (see arrow B) otherwise there is the risk of leakage and the normal filling and draining functions of the machine cannot be guaranteed. If the appliance is installed in a room subject to sub-zero temperatures. 115 3gb10001. fm5 Page 116 Wednesday, September 5, 2001 5:17 PM CARE AND MAINTENANCE Appliance exterior and control panel Clean using normal household cleaner (do not use abrasive products and no solvents).
