Precautions and tips

!

 The machine was designed and constructed in 

accordance with international safety regulations. The 
following information is provided for safety reasons and 
must therefore be read carefully.

General safety

•  This appliance was designed for domestic use only.

• 

This appliance can be used by children 

aged from 8 years and above and 

persons with reduced physical, sensory or 

mental capabilities or lack of experience 

and knowledge if they have been given 

supervision or instruction concerning use of 

the appliance in a safe way and understand 

the hazards involved. Children shall not 

play with the appliance. Cleaning and user 

maintenance shall not be made by children 

without supervision.

•  Do not touch the machine when barefoot or with wet or 

damp hands or feet.

•  Do not pull on the power supply cable when unplugging 

the appliance from the electricity socket. Hold the plug 
and pull. 

•  Do not touch the drained water as it may reach 

extremely high temperatures. 

•  Never force the porthole door. This could damage the 

safety lock mechanism designed to prevent accidental 
opening.

•  If the appliance breaks down, do not under any 

circumstances access the internal mechanisms in an 
attempt to repair it yourself.

•  Always keep children well away from the appliance while 

it is operating.

•  If it must be moved, proceed with the help of two or 

three people and handle it with the utmost care. Never 
try to do this alone, because the appliance is very heavy.

•  Before loading laundry into the washing machine, make 

sure the drum is empty.

Disposal

•  Disposing of the packaging materials: observe local 

regulations so that the packaging may be re-used.

•  The European Directive 2012/19/EU relating to Waste 

Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) states 
that household appliances should not be disposed of 
using the normal solid urban waste cycle. Exhausted 
appliances should be collected separately in order to 
optimise the cost of re-using and recycling the materials 
inside the machine, while preventing potential damage 
to the atmosphere and to public health. 

  The crossed-out dustbin is marked on all products 

to remind the owner of their obligations regarding 
separated waste collection.

  For more information relating to the correct disposal of 

household appliances, owners should contact their local 
authorities or appliance dealer.

Opening the porthole door manually

In the event that it is not possible to open the porthole door 
due to a powercut, and if you wish to remove the laundry, 
proceed as follows:

1. remove the plug from the 
electrical socket.
2. make sure the water level 
inside the machine is lower 
than the door opening; if 
it is not, remove excess 
water using the drain hose, 
collecting it in a bucket as 
indicated in the 

figure

.

3. remove the cover panel on the lower front part of the 
washing machine (

see overleaf

).

4. pull outwards using the 
tab as indicated in the figure, 
until the plastic tie-rod is freed 
from its stop position; pull 
downwards until you hear a 
“click”, which indicates that 
the door is now unlocked.

5. open the door; if this is 
still not possible repeat the 
procedure.

6. reposition the panel, making sure the hooks are securely 
in place before you push it onto the appliance.
