Operating Instructions

Congratulations on your new purchase
We recommed that you read these instructions care-
fully 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 dis-
tance 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 oper-
ation.
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.
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.
A
Never force the lid open
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.
