Unpacking the machine
If the machine is damaged
If the machine has been damaged during transportation, you should
immediately notify the company responsible for delivering it.
Check that the washing machine is undamaged. If you discover any
damage, faults or that anything is missing, you should notify the
seller immediately. Never leave packaging material in a place where
children may play with it.
When lifting the machine
Take care when lifting the machine. Incorrect methods of lifting
can cause physical injuries, and also increase the risk of damage to
the machine. Open the door and take hold of it inside the top of the
door opening. You can also grasp the rear overhang of the machine
top to lift this machine. Never lift the machine by gripping its
control panel, the door itself, or its detergent dispenser (Fig. 1).
Transit locking devices
When supplied the washing machine is packed using a number of
locking devices/packing pieces to prevent drum and motor from
damage in transit. These must all be removed before the washing
machine is installed.
Spread some of the polystyrene packaging materials on the floor behind
the machine and then lay the machine carefully rear-side-down on
them. Make sure that no hoses are crushed in the process (Fig. 2).
Remove the polystyrene base the machine was transported on. Then
return the machine to its normal upright position and undo the three
screws on its rear (Fig. 3). The three holes must then be plugged with the
plastic plugs supplied with the machine (in the plastic bag inside the
drum) (Fig. 4).
Identification of materials
All materials used in packaging this machine are
environmentally-friendly. The various plastics used are
identified and can be recycled:
• PE stands for polyethylene, which is used for the bag around the
machine and the bag in which these instructions were supplied.
• PS stands for polystyrene (in this case moulded polystyrene), which
is used for the sections of packaging needed to cushion the machine
in transit.
The cardboard components of the packaging are made from
recyclable paper and should be taken to a collection point for
recycling.
The machine contains plastic and rubber components. These have
identifying marks to show what they are made from, so they can be
recycled or disposed of properly at the end of the machine's life.
The materials are identified according to international standards.
