Warning and safety information
Failure to read and follow these guidelines may
result in personal injury or damage to the machine
which may not be covered and void the guarantee.
General Safety
• Never place your machine on a carpet
covered floor. Otherwise, lack of airflow below
your machine may cause electrical parts
to overheat and cause problems with your
washing machine.
• If the power cable or mains plug is damaged
you must call Authorized Service for repair.
• Check water hoses for wear. Do not use old/
used water inlet hoses. These may cause
stains on your laundry.
• Fit the drain hose into the discharge housing
securely to prevent any water leakage and to
allow machine to discharge water as required.
It is very important that the water intake and
drain hoses are not folded, squeezed, or
broken when the appliance is pushed into
place after it is installed or cleaned.
• Your washing machine is designed to
continue operating after the event of a
power interruption. You cannot cancel
any programme by pressing the “On/Off
button.” Your machine will not resume its
programme when the power restores. Press
the “Start/Pause/Cancel” button to cancel the
programme (See Page. 25)
• There may be some water in your machine
when you receive it. This is from the quality
control process and is normal. It is not harmful
to your machine.
• Some problems you may encounter may be
caused by the software. Press “Start/Pause/
Cancel” button for 3 seconds to cancel the
programme set in your machine before calling
the authorized service.
First Use
• Before washing your 1st load please run the
machine on the ‘Machine Clean’ programme.

been made correctly when installing your
machine. Otherwise, your laundry may come
out hot at the end of the washing process and
may wear out faster.
• If the fuse or circuit breaker is less than 16
Amperes, please have a qualified electrician
install a 16 Ampere fuse or circuit breaker.

water drainage systems are appropriate. If
they are not, call a qualified plumber to have
