Safeties
Lid : your washing machine is equipped with
a safety avoiding the switching of the appliance
when the flapdoors of the drum are open;
the closure of the lid is so impossible. An
electromechanic safety prohibits the opening
of the lid when the washing machine is working 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 save water and energy and to act in an
environmentally conscious manner, we advice youv to
follow the below instructions :
- Use if possible the appliance with full loads instead of
partial loads. Take care to 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.
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 coloureds programmes.
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.
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.
