[. . . ] Troubleshooting 2 5 8 9 17 19 This appliance is tagged in accordance with European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment - WEEE. This directive contains the regulations governing the collection and recycling of decommissioned appliances throughout the European Union. The symbol of the rubbish bin with a line through it on the appliance or its packaging indicates that the product must be disposed of separately from other waste at the end of its life cycle. The user is thus obliged to consign scrapped appliances to the special electronic and electrotechnical waste disposal centres, or return them to the dealer on purchase of a similar new appliance, on a one-to-one basis. [. . . ] In all cases, stains should be cleaned or diluted at once, since the older they are, the harder they are to remove. • Failure to comply with washing guidance symbols may result in damage to the items washed. Wool – Only wool marked as pure new wool, with the mark, or labelled "shrink-proof, machine-washable" can be washed in a washing machine on the specific programme; other types of wool should be hand-washed or dry-cleaned. 4. 2 OPENING THE DOOR The appliance is fitted with a safety device which prevents the door from being opened while the programme is in progress. Check that all the water has been drained from the tank and the drum is at a standstill. • If the washing programme is interrupted, it will be from 3 to 15 minutes before the door can be opened, depending on the temperature reached inside the appliance. The water may still be boiling hot if the wash was at high temperature. Do not open the door if there is still water in the drum! 9 EN 4. 3 LOADS OF WASHING As far as possible, to save electricity, it is more economical to wash complete loads of the various types of fabric. Shake out the washing before loading, and alternate large and small items. It is best to weight the load the first few times, after which you will be able to rely on your experience. 4. 4 LOADING THE ITEMS FOR WASHING 1. Open the door and load the washing, distributing it evenly over the drum, with items opened out and not bundled together; if possible, large and small items should be well mixed. The washing machine covered by this manual can be loaded with up to 7kg of washing for each wash. If this weight is exceeded, the washing results will be poor and the appliance may malfunction. To save energy it is more economical to wash full loads of the various types of fabric, following the guidance on quantities provided in the “Programmes Table” supplied in this manual. Close the door by pressing against the frame until you hear it click shut. Take care not to trap items of washing between the door and the rubber gasket. Warning!• If the door is not properly closed, a safety device prevents the washing machine from starting. • Do not exceed the maximum load: overloading adversely affects washing results. 4. 5 ADDING DETERGENT AND ADDITIVE The internal tray comprises three compartments, marked with the symbols prewash detergent main wash detergent for fabric conditioner, starch, additives, etc. The additives are added to the washing tank automatically during the final rinse. The main wash detergent compartment has a tang allowing the use of liquid detergent. Following the recommendations in the "Programmes Table" supplied with this manual, place the detergent and any additives in the drawer before the start of the programme. Never fill with liquids above the maximum level marked; otherwise the trays will empty too quickly. Before pouring dense additives into the container, dilute with a little water to ensure they do not clog the outlet. [. . . ] Secure the drain house by snapping the plug back into place "C". Depending on the model, replace the plinth as follows: Built-in/completely concealed model - Fit the bottom of the plinth first. Free-standing model – Fit the bottom of the plinth first and then push it towards the cabinet until it snaps into place. 5. 5 CLEANING THE DETERGENT DRAWER The detergent drawer should be kept clean, removing all solid deposits. To simplify this operation, completely remove the detergent drawer (pull the drawer fully out, press in the zone marked PUSH and then remove completely). [. . . ]
