1. Warnings
Keep this user’s manual with your washing machine. If you sell your
washing machine or give it away, make sure that it is accompanied by
its user’s manual. The new user can then be informed of how the
washing machine operates and read relevant warnings.
These warnings have been written for your safety and for the safety
of others. Please read these comments carefully before installing
and using your washing machine. Thank you for your attention.
1.1. Usage

unpacked immediately. Check its general appearance. Make any
reserves in writing on the delivery form and keep a copy.
• Your washing machine was designed for use by adults. Make sure
that children do not touch it or use it as a toy.
• Do not modify or attempt to modify the characteristics of this
washing machine. This could be dangerous for you.
• Your washing machine is intended for normal domestic use. Do not
use it for commercial or industrial purposes of for any purpose
other than that for which it was designed : to wash, to rince and to
spin.
• Unplug the power suplly plug and close the water supply tap every
time after using your washing machine.

instructions on the label for each article.

• Do not put articles in your washing machine if you have used a
solvent, alcohol, trichloroethylene, etc., to remove stains from
them. If you must use these stain removers, wait until the product
has evaporated before putting the articles in the drum.
• Collect all small articles such as socks, belts, etc., in a small cloth
bag or pillow case.
• Use the quantity of detergent indicated in the «proportioning of
detergents» section.
• Always unplug the washing machine before cleaning it and doing
any maintenance.
1.2. Precautions against frost
If your washing machine is exposed to temperatures below 0°C, take
the following precautions :
• Close the tap and disconnect the water supply pipe.
• Put the end of this pipe and the drain pipe into a bowl on the
floor.
• Select the «Drain» programme and make sure it works until it is
complete.
• Switch the washing machine off by putting the program selector
to the «Off»
*
position or pressing on the «On/Off»* key.
• Unplug the washing machine.
• Screw in the water inlet pipe and install the drain pipe.
Water that remained in the pipes will then be evacuated, thus pre-
venting the formation of frost or ice that can damage your washing
machine.

The next time you want to use your washing machine, make sure that
it is installed in a room in which the temperature is above 0°C.
1.3. Scrapping
All materials marked with the symbol can be recycled. Put them in
a waste tip (ask for information from your municipal offices) so that
they can be recovered and recycled.
When you take your washing machine to the tip, make sure that eve-
rything that could be dangerous is out of service ; cut the power supply
cable flush with the surface of your washing machine.
1.4. Protection of the environment
We recommend that the following instructions should be followed to
achieve savings in water and energy and therefore to contribute to
protection of the environment:
• If possible, use the washing machine at full capacity rather than
with partial loads (however, do not overload the drum).
• Only use the Prewash or Soak function for very dirty washing.
• Use a detergent dose adapted to the water hardness (see «propor-
tioning of detergents» section) and to the amount of washing and
how dirty it is.

3.2. Additional programme pushbuttons
Additional programme pushbuttons enable
to adapt the washing programme to the
laundry soil level. It is not necessary to use
these options so as to wash normally soiled
garments. The use of the different options
depends on the chosen programme.

responding lights illuminate. When pressed
again, the corresponding lights extinguish.
When an additional function is not compatible with the selected pro-
gramme, the corresponding lights does not illuminate.

and handwash programmes and also with the SOAKING
