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.

1.2. 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.

•Switch the washing machine off by putting the program selector to the «Off»* position or pressing on the «On/ Off»* key.

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.

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).
