SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

You must read the whole of this instruction manual
before you use the appliance. Follow the advice
carefully. Keep the book for future reference. If you
sell or give away the appliance, make sure that the
book is passed to the new owner.
The following warnings are provided in the interest
of overall safety. You must read them before the
appliance is installed or used.
These warnings were written for your own safety
and for the safety of others.

Use

This washing machine was designed for use
by adults. Make sure that children do not touch
it or play with it.

Unpack your washing machine immediately
when you receive it, or ask someone else to
unpack it for you. Check its general appearance.
If you have any reserves, make them in writing
on the delivery form, and keep a copy of it.

Your washing machine is designed for normal
domestic use. Do not use it for commercial or
industrial purposes or for anything other than
the purposes for which it was designed.

Do not modify or attempt to modify the
characteristics of this washing machine. This
would be dangerous for you.

Do not put articles in the washing machine if
you have just cleaned them using a stain
remover containing gasoline, alcohol,
trichloroethylene, etc. If you use this type of
stain remover, wait until the product has
evaporated before you put your washing in the
drum.

Put all small items such as socks, belts, etc.,
together inside a small cloth bag or pillow case,
so that they cannot get trapped between the
drum and the tank.

Use only detergents designed for the washing
machine. Follow the recommendations made
by the manufacturer of these products.

Always unplug the washing machine before
cleaning and servicing it.

Leave the cover and the drum open when you
are not using your washing machine, to air the
tub and prevent the formation of mould and
bad smells.

Never use the washing machine if the power
supply cable, the control panel, the working
surface or the base are damaged so that the
inside of the washing machine is accessible.

Make sure that pets cannot get into the drum of
your washing machine.

Always pull out the plug and turn off the water
supply tap when you have finished using the
washing machine.

Only wash and dry articles that will resist
machine washing. Follow the instructions on
the label attached to each article.

Do not use your washing machine to wash
articles with whalebones, material without hems
or torn material.

When the washing is made with a liquid
detergent in a ball-type packaging, it is
necessary to take away the packaging before
drying the laundry.

Before washing, ensure that all pockets are
empty and buttons and zips are fastened. Avoid
washing frayed or torn articles and treat stains
such as paint, ink, rust, and grass before
washing.

Elements forming part of the packaging (for
example plastic films, pieces of polystyrene)
can be dangerous for children. Keep these
packaging elements out of reach of children.

Installation

If the appliance is installed in a location
subject to frost, completely drain the washing
machine and unscrew the tap supply pipe and
put it down on the floor.

If the electrical installation in your house needs
to be modified so that you can plug your washing
machine in, have the work done by a qualified
electrician.

Please read the instructions in the “Electrical
connection” chapter carefully before plugging
in your washing machine.

Ask a qualified plumber to make the water
connections for your washing machine.

After you have put your washing machine into
place, make sure that the power supply cable is
not trapped under it.

This washing machine is heavy. Take care
when you move it.

All repairs to the washing machine must be
made by qualified personnel.

27

All packing devices must be removed from the
washing machine before you use it. Severe
damage may occur to the washing machine or
adjacent furniture if you forget to remove any of
the transport protection packing. Always unplug
the washing machine before removing packing.

Safeties

Cover: your washing machine is equipped with
a safety device preventing the washing ma
chine cover from closing when the drum doors
are open. It is impossible to start it until the
doors are closed. An electromechanical safety
device prevents you from opening the cover
while the washing machine is operating, and for
about 2 minutes after the end of the program.

Washing motor: a temperature safety device
protects the motor against risks of mechanical
overload, or overvoltage or undervoltage.

Heating: heating will not start until the water
quantity necessary for washing has been added
into the tank. This safety device is effective
mainly when the water supply is cut off or if you
forget to open the water supply tap.

The unbalanced weight protection system: this
safety system keeps the washing machine
stable during intermediate spins or the final
spin and therefore detects any bad distribution
of your washing (small load or tangled washing).
It can then remedy this situation.

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 color programs.
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.

Environmental information

All materials marked by the symbol can be
recycled. Place them in a waste collection bin
provided for this purpose (ask your local municipal
services) so that they can be recovered and
recycled.

Plastics are identified as follows:

- >PE< for polyethylene, for example for the
surrounding cover and envelopes containing
the documentation;

- >PS< for expanded polystyrene, for example
packing parts practically free of HCFC.
Cardboard is made from recycled paper and
therefore should be discarded in waste paper
collection bins.

We recommend that the following instructions
should be followed to sa ve water and energy, and
therefore contribute to protecting the environment:

- When possible, use full loads rather than par­tial loads in your washing machine (however
do not overload the drum).

- Only use programs with prewash f or v ery dirty
washing.

- Adapt the amount of detergent to the water
hardness, to the amount of your washing, and
how dirty it is.

If you scrap your old washing machine, make
sure that you put everything that could be
dangerous out of service; cut the power supply
cable flush with the washing machine, and
prevent the door latch from closing.

Automatic adjustment of water consumption

This automatic adjustment system adapts the
water consumption as a function of the
quantity and nature of the washing.

Thanks to the JETSYSTEM
allows to reduce your consumptions of water
and detergent products, use only the two
thirds of the adviced quantities by the detergent
producers on the packing.
