[. . . ] 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. [. . . ] Ensure that pockets are emptied of loose change and other small items. Check that there are no metal objects in the laundry as these may damage the laundry and 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 left-hand compartment, labelled "II", is for detergent used during the main wash. 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. Turn the Centrifugado selector knob until the indicator aligns with the required spin speed. The washing machine is fitted with a self adjusting water level system. This system enables the machine to use the optimum amount of water needed to wash and rinse the laundry in relation to the particular load. 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. [. . . ] 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. If you have found any of the above problems correct them and run the machine through a spin cycle to drain the water. [. . . ]
