Cautions and advice about using your
washing machine
In order to get maximum satisfaction and performance from your
washing machine, please ensure you follow the instructions given
below:
9 Select the clothes load correctly and choose the appropriate
programme.
9 Before opening the door, check that there is no water in
the machine and the pilot light is off.
9 Put the washing products in the right proportion and in the right
compartment.
9 Small garments such as socks, belts, etc. are best put
inside a bag to avoid their being lost.
9 Before putting clothes into the washing machine, make sure that
there is nothing in the pockets (coins, buttons, clips, etc.) and
that the zips are undone.
9 If your machine has a filter, you should check regularly
that it is clean & not blocked. Be especially wary of coins,
brassiere wire & fluff/hair.
9 The interior of the washing machine should be handled by
specialists only. NEVER attempt to repair or modify it
yourself.
9 After each wash, leave the door ajar to prevent the rubber
seal from becoming misshapen or mouldy.
9 When the clothes to be washed are heavily soiled or splattered
with mud, it is advisable to run a programme with pre-wash.
9 Unless doing half load washing, always put the machine
on fully loaded to save energy.
9 When the machine has just been installed, or after a long
time without it being used, it is advisable to run a washing
programme with the machine empty, to eliminate any
rusty water in the tubes.
