USER'S INSTRUCTIONS

Important warnings

These warnings were written for your own safety and for the safety of others.

Before using your washing machine for the first time

Respect the “Installation and connection instructions” given below.

Usage

This washing machine was designed for use by adults. Make sure that children do not touch it or play with it.

Unpack your washing machine immediately when you receive it, or ask someone else to unpack it for you. Check its general appearance. If you have any reserves, make them in writing on the delivery form, and keep a copy of it.

Your washing machine is designed for normal domestic use. Do not use it for commercial or industrial purposes or for anything other than the purposes for which it was designed.

Do not modify or attempt to modify the characteristics of this washing machine. This would be dangerous for you.

Always pull out the plug and turn off the water supply tap when you have finished using the washing machine.

Only wash articles that will resist machine washing. Follow the instructions on the label attached to each article.

Do not use your washing machine to wash articles with whalebones, material without hems or torn material.

Remember to take out coins, safety pins, broaches, screws, etc. before you put clothes in the washing machine. This type of item can cause serious damage if it is left in the washing.

Do not put articles in the washing machine if you have just cleaned them using a stain remover containing gasoline, alcohol, trichloroethylene, etc. If you use this type of stain remover, wait until the product has evaporated before you put your washing in the drum.

User's instructions

Put all small items such as socks, belts, etc., together inside a small cloth bag or pillow case, so that they cannot get trapped between the drum and the tank.

Leave the cover and the drum open when you are not using your washing machine, to air the tank and prevent the formation of mould and bad smells.

Always unplug the washing machine before cleaning and servicing it.

Use only detergents designed for the washing machine. Follow the recommendations made by the manufacturer of these products.

If the washing machine is installed in a location subject to frost, completely drain the washing machine and unscrew the tap supply pipe and put it down on the floor.

Elements forming part of the packaging (for example plastic films, pieces of polystyrene) can be dangerous for children. Keep these packaging elements out of reach of children.

Make sure that pets cannot get into the drum of your washing machine.

Never use the washing machine if the power supply cable, the control panel, the working surface or the base are damaged so that the inside of the washing machine is accessible.

Installation

If the electrical installation in your house needs to be modified so that you can plug your washing machine in, have the work done by a qualified electrician.

Please read the instructions in the “Electrical connection” chapter carefully before plugging in your washing machine.

Ask a qualified plumber to make the water connections for your washing machine.

After you have put your washing machine into place, make sure that the power supply cable is not trapped under it.

This washing machine is heavy. Take care when you move it.

User's instructions

All packing devices must be removed from the washing machine before you use it. Severe damage may occur to the washing machine or adjacent furniture if you forget to remove any of the transport protection packing. Always unplug the washing machine before removing packing.

All repairs to the washing machine must be made by qualified personnel.

Safety devices

Cover: your washing machine is equipped with a safety device preventing the washing machine cover from closing when the drum doors are open. It is impossible to start it until the doors are closed. An electromechanical safety device prevents you from opening the cover while the washing machine is operating, and for about 2 minutes after the end of the program.

Washing motor: a temperature safety device protects the motor against risks of mechanical overload, or overvoltage or undervoltage.

Heating: heating will not start until the water quantity necessary for washing has been added into the tank. This safety device is effective mainly when the water supply is cut off or if you forget to open the water supply tap.

The anti-foam system: water consumption is very low, due to the electronic spin cycle with an intermediate spin after the main wash and three rinse cycles for white and color programs. The spin cycle remains under the control of the foam detection system after the wash cycle has finished. If necessary, the spin cycle will stop until all foam is removed.

The unbalanced weight protection system: this safety system keeps the washing machine stable during intermediate spins or the final spin and therefore detects any bad distribution of your washing (small load or tangled washing). It can then remedy this situation.

User's instructions

Protection of the environment

All materials marked with the symbol can be recycled. Place them in a waste collection bin provided for this purpose (ask your local municipal services) so that they can be recovered and recycled.

Plastics are identified as follows:

>PE< for polyethylene, for example for the surrounding cover and envelopes containing the documentation;

>PS< for expanded polystyrene, for example packing parts practically free of HCFC.

Cardboard is made from recycled paper and therefore should be discarded in waste paper collection bins.

We recommend that the following instructions should be followed to save water and energy, and therefore contribute to protecting the environment:

-When possible, use full loads rather than partial loads in your washing machine (however do not overload the drum).

-Only use programs with prewash for very dirty washing.

-Adapt the amount of detergent to the water hardness, to the amount of your washing, and how dirty it is.

If you scrap your old washing machine, make sure that you put everything that could be dangerous out of service; cut the power supply cable flush with the washing machine, and prevent the door latch from closing.

Automatic adjustment of water consumption

This automatic adjustment system adapts the water consumption as a function of the quantity and nature of the washing.

If you have an operating problem, refer to the “TROUBLESHOOTING” section. If you need help after you have made all these verifications, you should normally call the After Sales Service of the company that sold you the washing machine. If this is impossible (if you have moved, or if the shop in which you bought your washing machine has closed, etc.), please call the Consumer Advice Service which will then inform you of the address of an After Sales Service.

User's instructions

- RINSE HOLD

You can use this button with any program. The water used in the last rinse is not drained at the end of the selected program so that the washing will not become creased if you do not take it out of the drum immediately that the washing machine stops.

Select the DRAIN program when you want to drain the water. Release the RINSE HOLD button to spin.

Progress within the program

The programmer turns gradually and shows you how far the program has advanced.

Use the thermostat to choose the temperature of the washing water. You can choose any temperature between cold ("") and 95°C.

The temperatures given in the programs table (page 24) are provided as a guide. You can vary them using the thermostat knob on your washing machine. Always scrupulously respect the temperature shown on the label on each item of washing.

Spinning speed selector
