Safeties
Lid : your washing machine is equipped with
a safety avoiding the switching of the appliance
when the flapdoors of the drum are opened ;
the closure of the lid is so impossible. An
electromechanic safety prohibits the opening
of the lid when the washing machine works and
2 minutes after the end of the programme.
Washing motor : in case of mechanic
overloading, overvoltage, a thermic safety
protects automatically the motor.
Environmental information
All materials marked by the symbol are
biodegradable. They can be disposed of without
danger or burnt in rubbish incinerators.
In order to realize water and energy savings and to
act in an environmentally conscious manner, we
advice to follow the below instructions :
Use if possible the appliance with full loads
instead of partial loads. Take care to do not
overload the drum.
Heating : the heating can only begin when
the water quantity necessary for the washing
is in the tub. This safety is useful when there is
a water break-up or if you forget to open the
water inlet hose.
Anti-balanced system : This safety allows to
the appliance to keep a perfect stability during
the intermediary spinnings and during the final
spinning.
If you notice that your laundry is not spinned
enough, the anti-balanced system has then
detected a bad distribution of the laundry during
the final spinning ; so it is adviced to realize a
new spinning taking care to unpack handly the
laundry before.
Use only the programmes with prewash for very
soiled laundry.
Savings on detergent and for the environment
may also be achieved if with medium to hard
water you add sufficient detergent for soft water
and then add separately a softener. This relieves
our waters of a certain amount of chemicals.
When disposing of the machine in a proper
manner, destroy the door lock and cut off the
power supply cord.
