Important
Your machine is fitted with a balance control device, which ensures the machine is stable during the
spin. If the wash load appears not to have been spun sufficiently at the end of the wash cycle, because,
it is not evenly distributed in the drum, the balance control device may have operated. It will therefore be
necessary to redistribute the wash load manually and select a spin programme. For more detailed infor-
mation see the section headed "Something Not Working".

We advise you to close the water supply tap and
disconnect the plug from the socket.
13 How to open the lid during the
cycle of the programme
You can open the lid after you have pressed
PAUSE, provided the following conditions exist:
Leave the lid open in order to air the washing ma-
chine.
• the appliance is not in the heating phase,
• the level of the water is not high,
• the drum is not turning.
If these requirements are met when you pause
the washing machine, the DOOR light goes out
and the lid can be opened.
Should it not be possible to open the lid, and should
it be absolutely necessary to do so, switch the
appliance off by pressing the ON/OFF button.
After approximately 2 minutes, you can open the
lid.
Pay attention to the level and temperature of
the water in the washing machine!
When you close the lid and press the ON/OFF
button again, the washing machine will resume
the programme from the point where it had been
interrupted.
14 End of programme
At the end of the programme, the washing ma-
chine stops automatically and gives an audible
signal (which can be deactivated, see page 7).
If you had selected the RINSE HOLD option, the
END button is lit to indicate that the water must
be drained (page 8).
The DOOR light goes out at once.
Note:
When you switch the machine on, if you need to
erase the previously performed programme, it is
also sufficient to press the FABRICS button and
select a new programme.
Press the ON/OFF button to switch the machine
off. The relevant light will go out.
Remove the laundry from the washing machine.
Check whether the drum is completely empty, by
rotating it with your hand.The purpose of this is to
prevent any items of laundry from remaining
accidentally in the drum, where they might get
damaged in a subsequent wash (e.g. by shrinking)
or bleed colour into another load of laundry.

Which detergent? ...
And in which form?
To ensure you obtain the best wash results from
your appliance, it is important to use the right
detergent in your everyday wash, and only
detergents recommended for use in automatic
machines.
Not only are there different types of detergent, but
they are also available in different forms. Whether
you choose a powder or liquid in traditional or
compact form is down to personal choice.
Traditional Powders
To maintain the appearance of your clothes and
household textiles and to make them last longer
you should use different types of detergent for
different washes, whether for whites, colours or
delicates.
Pourthepowderdirectlyintothedispenserdrawer.
Do not sprinkle powder onto clothes in the ma-
chine drum.
Traditional Liquids
Liquidcanbeplacedinthemainwashcompartment
ofthedetergentdrawermarkedwiththesymbol ,
start the machine immediately upon placing the
detergent in the dispenser drawer. Alternatively
the detergent is measured into the specially
designed dosing device* which should be placed
on top of the laundry, and at the back of the
machine drum.
Whites
We recommend the Ariel product
range which is biological and
designed to provide excellent
cleaning and stain removal even
at low temperatures.

Compact Powders and Liquids

Coloureds
For coloured items you should use a
detergent which is designed to clean
while maintaining the original colour.
Ariel Color does not contain bleach
and therefore helps to preserve
colours.

please ensure the dosing device/ball is

Delicate items
When washing delicates such as
woollens, youshoulduseaproductwhich

fabrics. Dreft Automatic is suitable for
woollens and other delicates.

Maintenance and Cleaning
Before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning
you must DISCONNECT the appliance from the
electricity supply.
Descaling
The water we normally use contains lime. To help
prevent the formation of lime deposits we
recommend you periodically, particularly in hard
water areas, use a water softening powder in the
machine. Dothisseparatelyfromanylaundryand
according to the manufacturer's instructions.
After each wash
Leave the lid and the drum open for a while. This

External Cleaning
Wipe the exterior cabinet of the appliance with a
soft cloth and warm soapy water.
Do not use abrasive cleaning products.
Cleaning the detergent dispenser
The detergent dispenser is very easy to remove.

Cleaning the drain filter
A clean filter is important for correct functioning of
the machine, and should therefore be cleaned
after every wash.
