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, write them on the delivery form
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.
, and keep
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
putting 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 putting your washing in
the drum.
5
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.
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
programme.
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.

User's instructions
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.
The drum self positionning system: this electronic system ensures that
the doors are in the upper position when the wash programme finishes.
This system allows for easier loading and unloading of the laundry. If an
unbalanced weight alters the functionning, turn the drum by hand.

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 having made all these verifications, you should normally call
the After Sales Service of the company which 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.
