A. FOR THE USER
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
• 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 or for any purpose other than that for which it was
designed : to wash, to rinse 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.
• 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.
• Switch the washing machine off by putting the program
selector to the «Off»

• 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,

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 everything that could be dangerous is out of service ;
cut the power supply cable flush with the surface of your
washing machine.
The symbol on the product or on its packaging indicates that this product may not be treated as household
waste. Instead it shall be handed over to the applicable collection point for the recycling of electrical and electronic

for the environment and human health, which could otherwise be caused by inappropriate waste handling of this
product. For more detailed information about recycling of
this product, please contact your local city office, your household waste disposal service or the shop where you purchased the product.
1.2. Precautions against frost

on the floor.
• Select the «Drain» programme and make sure it works
until it is complete.
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 «proportioning of detergents» section) and to the
amount of washing and how dirty it is.

Before the first wash in your washing machine, we recommend that you should do a preliminary wash at
90°C with detergent but without any washing to clean
the tub.
3.1. Loading the washing
• Lift the machine cover.
• Open the drum by pressing on the locking button A;
the two flaps automatically separate.
• Insert the washing, close the drum and the cover of
your washing machine.
Warning : before you close
the cover of your washing
machine, make sure that the
drum door is properly closed:
• the two flaps latched
A
together,
• the locking button A extended.
3.4. Choice of the temperature and
spin drying speed
The recommended temperature is displayed when you make the selection. You
can modulate the temperature using the
temperature pushbutton. When choosing
the washing temperature, take account of
the selected programme (using the information given in the programmes table) and
comply with the temperature shown on the
care label for each article to be washed
(see the washing guide).
The maximum speed (corresponding to the
nature of the washing) will be displayed
when selecting the programme, and in pause mode. However, when you press the
"Spin" pushbutton you can reduce the
speed or choose the positions «rinse
hold»*, «no spin»* (drain only) or «silence
cycle»*.
3.2. Proportioning of detergents
Your washing machine was designed to reduce water
and detergent consumption, therefore reduce the doses recommended by detergent manufacturers.
Pour the powder detergent dose into the wash compartment and into the prewash compartment if
you chose the «prewash» option. Pour in the softener
into the compartment if you wish.
If you are using a different type of detergent, refer to the
«detergents and additives» section in the washing guide.
3.3. Choice of the required program-
me
The programmes table will tell you which is the appropriate programme for your washing type (see § 4).
Put the programme selector
onto the required programme ; the lights corresponding to the phases making
up the programme will light
up.
The display window displays the probable duration
of the selected programme
(ex: 1 hour and 10 minutes).
The display duration is
automatically readjusted
during the washing cycle.
3.5. Choice of the required option
The various options should
be chosen after the programme has been displayed
and before pressing the
"start/pause" pushbutton.
Press the required pushbutton(s) ; the corresponding lights come on. When you press again, the lights go off.
When one of these options is not compatible with the
chosen programme, the corresponding light will flash
for a few seconds and the "Err" message will appear in
the display window (see the programmes table).
3.5.1. «Prewash» pushbutton
The washing machine does a prewash at 30°C
maximum. The prewash finishes with a brief spinning
for cotton and synthetic programmes, and by a draining
for delicates programmes.
3.5.2. «Quick wash» pushbutton
If you select this function, the wash time is reduced
depending on which programme you chose.
3.5.3. «Easy iron» pushbutton
Wash at 40°C for mixed clothes.
Thanks to this programme, clothes require only light
ironing or even no ironing at all.
