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.
1.2. Precautions against frost
• 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»
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

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.
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.
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.

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.

• 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.
3.4. Choice of the spinning speed
The maximum spin speed is defined as a function of the type of
washing and depending on the
selected program.
However, you can reduce the
speed or choose the rinse hold*,
drain*, or spinning suppression*
positions.
3.5. Choice of the required option
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.
3.2. 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 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 (see programme table).
3.5.1. «Daily wash / Quick wash» pushbutton
This pushbutton allows to choose between two functions :
• «Daily wash» function :
This pushbutton allows to realize a washing cycle with
not soiled laundry in a reduced time.
• «Quick wash» function :
If you select this function, the wash time is reduced depending on which program you chose.
3.5.2. «Prewash» pushbutton

maximum. The prewash finishes with a brief spinning
