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»* position or pressing on the «On/ Off»* key.
•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, 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.
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 indi-
cates 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 equipment. By ensuring this product is disposed of correctly, you will help prevent potential negative consequences 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
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.
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.

3. HOW TO DO A WASH ?
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.
A |
Warning : before you close the cover of your washing machine, make sure that the drum door is properly closed:
•the two flaps latched together,
•the locking button A extended.
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
The programs table will tell you which is the appropriate program for your washing type (see § 4).
Put the program selector onto the required program; the lights corresponding to the phases making up the program will light up.
The display window displays the probable duration of the selected program (ex: 1 hour and 10 minutes). The display duration is automatically readjusted during the washing cycle.
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 program (using the information given in the programs 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 program, and in pause mode. However, when you press the "Spin" pushbutton you can reduce the speed or choose the positions «rinse hold»* or «no spin»* (drain only).
3.5. Choice of the required option
The various options should be chosen after the program 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 program, the corresponding light will flash for a few seconds and the "Err" message will appear in the display window (see the programs 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 programs, and by a draining for delicates programs.
3.5.2. «Quick wash» pushbutton
If you select this function, the wash time is reduced depending on which program you chose.
3.5.3. "Silence cycle" pushbutton
This option reduces the noise by your washing machine while offering the same washing performances. Thus, you can use your washing machine at night without being inconvenienced by the noise. There is no spin cycle and the last rinsing water is left in the machine to prevent the washing from becoming creased if it is not immediately removed from the drum.
