[. . . ] To ensure safety when disposing of an old washing machine disconnect the mains plug from the socket, cut the mains power cable and destroy this together with the plug. To prevent children shutting themselves in the machine break the door hinges or the door lock. If the appliance is not running properly or breaks down, switch it off, disconnect the plug from the socket, turn off the water supply and do not tamper with the appliance. Do not lean on the door when loading the machine or use the door to lift or move the machine. [. . . ] You will obtain the best results from your wash with the minimum use of chemical products, and the best care for your laundry if you take into consideration the degree of soiling as well as the type of detergent to choose. It is possible to reduce the amount of detergent when washing only a small amount of laundry. The dosages shown on the packaging of detergents for washing delicates often already refer to a reduced wash size. Do not put any items into the drawer other than detergents that are designed to be dispensed from the drawer as they may cause blockage or damage. The detergent drawer is split into 3 compartments: the first, labelled "I", is for detergent utilised during Prewash. The second, labelled "II", is for detergent utilised during the main wash. The third, labelled is for special additives such as fabric softeners, fragrances, starch, brighteners etc. Liquid detergents and some tablets are dispensed via the machine drum using the recommended dispensing device which is placed upright on top of the washload towards the back of the drum. Some tablets are designed to be placed in the dispenser drawer, check the detergent pack for details. The programme selector must be returned to the OFF position to reset the controls between each wash cycle. This status will be indicated by the STOP indicator light flashing, this light will continue to flash until the machine has started or the machine is returned to the OFF position. This results in a reduction of the water and electricity used without in any way compromising the washing and rinsing performance. The amount of water and electricity used will always be appropriate for the clothes load. This model is fitted with an electronic sensor device that checks if the load is balanced correctly. If the load is slightly unbalanced the machine will re-balance it automatically to then carry out the normal spin. If, after several attempts, balance is not restored a reduced spin speed will be used. This helps limit vibration, reduce noise and improve the washing machine's reliability and life. For handling the various types of fabric and their level of soiling in your laundry the washing machine has different programme groups according to type of wash, temperature, spin speeds and duration (see Programme Guide). With spin cycles in between, they guarantee the laundry is rinsed perfectly. The final spin cycle ensures laundry is spun dry as much as possible up to the maximum speed. This is a new concept in washing, with a cycle that comprises alternate periods of activity and pauses, particularly suitable for washing very delicate fabrics. Washing and rinsing are carried out using a high water level to provide the best results. [. . . ] If the problem persists after completing the recommended checks, please call the GIAS Service, they may be able to assist you over the telephone. If the door locked light is illuminated and the machine does not start this means that the machine cannot fill with water, check the following: 1. Ensure that there is not a blockage in the drain hose or the hose is not kinked. If connected to the sink waste make sure you have cut the membrane or removed the bung from the under sink drainage unit. [. . . ]
