BEFORE READING THESE INSTRUCTIONS, REMOVE THE ILLUSTRATED PAGES IN THE CENTRE OF THIS DOCUMENT
This machine is only designed for domestic use and to wash, rinse, spin and, depending on the model,
dry machine-washable textiles.
In this manual, you will find the instructions
required for the safety, installation and use of
your machine and the relevant guarantees.
Please keep these and pass them on if you
sell the machine.
•
Dispose of the packaging and of your worn-
out machine (after rendering it unusable by
removing the hoses, cutting the power cable
and breaking the lock on the lid) in
accordance with the prevailing regulations.
•
For a new installation, the machine must be
connected to the water supply with a new
hose: the old hose must not be re-used.
•
Do not let children play with the machine or
the cleaning and maintenance products
(water unsuitable for drinking, ingestion of
the products, risk of physical harm, etc.).
Keep pets away from the machine.
•
Protect your property and your machine by
checking the condition of the hoses
regularly. Never use solvents, inflammable
products, explosive products or aerosols
near to or in your machine. Use the machine
in a well-ventilated, frost-free area and do
not use an extension lead or a multiple
adapter.
•
Switch off the power supply to your machine
after use.
•
If your machine should break down, call a
qualified washing machine engineer.
•
Only use your machine in accordance with
the instructions in this manual. Only use
washing and maintenance products
approved for domestic machines.
For washer-dryers:
•
Before drying, remove the detergent
dispensers placed in the drum with your
washing. Their plastic material cannot
withstand the drying temperatures.
•
Fill your machine to the maximum. You
thereby optimise your water and electricity
consumption.
•
Only programme a pre-wash when
absolutely necessary: e.g. for heavily soiled
sports or working clothes, etc.
•
A programme with no pre-wash is sufficient
for slightly or moderately soiled clothes.
•
For slightly soiled clothes, select a short
washing cycle (or an «Express» cycle,
depending on the model).
•
Gauge the amount of detergent according
to the water hardness, the degree of soiling
and the amount of washing. Always follow
the manufacturer’s instructions on the
detergent packets.
For washer-dryers:
•
If you spin at high speed, little dampness will
remain and you will therefore consume little
electricity. Even synthetic textiles can be
spun before drying.
•
Choosing your drying time well also helps to
save water and electricity.
•
Avoid wasting water and electricity by not
over-drying your laundry.
