A - FOR THE USER
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.
Usage
•When you receive your washing machine, unpack it or have it 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.
•Only wash articles that can resist machine washing. Refer to the instructions on the label for each article.
•Do not wash underwear with bones, or any material without hems, or torn materials in your washing machine.
4
User information
•Remember to remove all coins, safety pins, boraches, screws, etc., before each wash. They can cause serious damage if they are left in your washing.
•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.
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.
*depending on model
5
User information
Water that remained in the pipes will then be evacuated, thus preventing 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.
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 everything that could be dangerous is out of service ; cut the power supply cable flush with the surface of your washing machine.
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 «proportioning of detergents» section) and to the amount of washing and how dirty it is.

User information
Setting options
Options can be added to a wash cycle that has already been selected. Press the OPTION key 
. The display shows the symbols for the options.
Prewash
Pre-washes at about 30°C before the main wash cycle, which follows automatically.
Sensitive
Enhanced rinse action through an additional rinse cycle together with decreased drum movement (improved fabric care). This is ideal when frequent washes are necessary, for example, in cases of highly sensitive skin. An additional rinse cycle can also be permanently set (see section “Setup”).
Stain
For heavily soiled and stained washing. In-wash stain treatment products are washed in at the optimum time as the programme progresses.
Night Cycle
The washing is left to soak in the final rinse water. There is no final spin and no intermediate spin. Because of tis the programme runs very quietly. NIGHT CYCLE is therefore particularly suitable if you want to wash at night.
Setup
The special functions that can be set under Setup remain permanently stored in the appliance, e. g., time, language, etc. (see section “Setup”) until they are changed or deactivated.
Only the options that can be combined with the cycle that has already 
been set are shown in the display.
