Operating Instructions
Congratulations on your new purchase
We recommed that you read these instructions carefully in order to
quickly become familiar with your new appliance.
A good appliance, which is used properly, will serve you for many years.
Preparation for Use
1. Put the operating lever in the "OFF" position.
2. Open the lid.
3. Remove the transport safeguard from inside the spin drum.
4. We recommend that the spin drum be washed out with a standard
detergent before using for the first time.
5. Place the spin dryer on a level floor at a distance of about
50 cm away from the wall or other objects. Never balance
out irregularities in the floor surface by laying wood, paper or
similar materials under the appliance.
Loading the machine
1. Place a sufficiently large container for excess water under
the outlet spout.
2. Plug the appliance in to a mains socket (please observe the Points
of Safety).
3. Place each article of laundry singly in the spin drum.
Distribute the washing evenly in the drum and press
down firmly, so as to avoid leaving empty spaces (and thus
avoiding excessive vibration of the machine during operation).
4. Do not place rolled-up items of clothing (e.g. jeans) in the
spin dryer.
5. Press the loaded washing down, so that there is a gap of at
least 3 cm between the washing and the top edge of the
drum. Lastly, cover the washing with a cloth, the ends of which
should be tucked well down inside the drum, so as to avoid items
of washing being catapulted out during operation.
6. Close the lid.
Switch on the appliance
Turn the operating lever to the right as far as it will go to the
"ON" (I) position.
The spin dryer is now in operation and water flows out of the outlet
spout.
Spin Drying Times
• For normal washing: 3-5 minutes.
• For washing which requires no ironing: 15-30 seconds max.
Switch of the appliance
When water ceases to flow out of the outlet spout, or when the spin
process is to be terminated, turn the operating lever back to the left to
the "OFF" position.
A
When the drum has come to a standstill, open the lid. A special safety
device prevents the lid being opened before the drum has stopped
spinning.
Never force the lid open
B
Remove the laundry from the drum.
Gently tilt the spin dryer forward, so that any remaining water can
flow out of the outlet spout.
Pull out the plug.
