USER'S INSTRUCTIONS

Important warnings

These warnings were written for your own safety and for the safety of

others.

Before using your washing machine for the first time

Respect the “Installation and connection instructions” given below.

Usage

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, write them 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.

Always pull out the plug and turn off the water supply tap when you

have finished using the washing machine.

Only wash 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.

Remember to take out coins, safety pins, broaches, screws, etc. before

putting clothes in the washing machine. This type of item can cause

serious damage if it is left in the washing.

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 putting 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.

Leave the cover and the drum open when you are not using your

washing machine, to air the tank and prevent the formation of mould

and bad smells.

Always unplug the washing machine before cleaning and servicing it.

Use only detergents designed for the washing machine. Follow the

recommendations made by the manufacturer of these products.

If the washing machine 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.

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.

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

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.

Safety devices

Cover: your washing machine is equipped with a safety device

preventing the washing machine 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

programme.

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.

User's instructions

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.

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 drum self positionning system: this electronic system ensures that

the doors are in the upper position when the wash programme finishes.

This system allows for easier loading and unloading of the laundry. If an

unbalanced weight alters the functionning, turn the drum by hand.

Protection of the environment

All materials marked with 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 save 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 for very 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.

If you have an operating problem, refer to the “TROUBLESHOOTING” section. If

you need help after having made all these verifications, you should normally call

the After Sales Service of the company which sold you the washing machine. If

this is impossible (if you have moved, or if the shop in which you bought your

washing machine has closed, etc.), please call the Consumer Advice Service

which will then inform you of the address of an After Sales Service.

Washing guide

Sorting washing by category

We recommend that you sort your washing by category, to get the best

washing results:

firstly, robust washing that will resist vigorous washing and spinning;

secondly, delicate washing that should be treated with care.

Choose a program suitable for the most delicate fiber if you want to wash

a mix of different clothes, loads composed of articles made of different

natures of fibers.

Temperatures and symbols

Maintenance labels will guide you in choosing an appropriate washing

program. It is recommended that you read the maintenance labels while

sorting the washing.

Temperature information specified on maintenance labels give maxi-

mum values.

Washing that can be boiled

Cotton and linen textiles marked with this maintenance symbol are not delicate.

They will resist high temperatures and mechanical forces. The WHITE program

is appropriated for this washing type.

Coloured washing

Cotton and linen textiles marked with this maintenance symbol are not delicate.

They will resist high mechanical forces. The COLOUREDS program is appropriated

for this type of washing.

Easy to maintain washing

Textiles such as finished cotton, blended cotton based materials and synthetic

materials marked with this symbol require more gentle mechanical treatment.

The TEXTILE BLENDS program is appropriated for this type of washing.

User's instructions

Delicate washing

Textiles such as layered, micro-fiber, synthetic textiles and net curtains

marked with this maintenance symbol require particularly gentle

treatment. The DELICATE program is appropriated for this type of

washing.

Wool and particularly delicate washing

Textiles such as woolens, wool blends or silk marked with this label are

particularly sensitive to mechanical forces. The WOOLENS program is

appropriated for this type of textile.

Woolen clothes marked with the

(wool) label are only machine

washable if the comment “non-fluffing” or “fluff resistant”, and “machine

washable” is added.

Textiles marked with the

(hand washable) label or (do not wash)

label cannot be washed in the washing machine!

Follow the “wash separately” or “wash separately several times”

maintenance instructions.

Washing coloreds

When washed for the first time, coloreds can lose their color and stain

other items of your washing.

We recommend that you carry out the following simple test to make sure

that coloreds will not lose their color:

Treatment of stains

Stains that might not wash clean (particularly if they are old) should be

treated working inwards from the outside of the stain in order to avoid

forming halos.

Grass. Rub carefully with soap and apply dilute Javel water. Alcohol at

90°C can give good results for wool.

User's instructions

Choose a part of the washing

that will not be seen

Dampen it using

warm water

If the washing loses

its color, wash it by

hand

Then place it on a piece

of white material

If the washing does

not lose its color, you

can wash it in the

machine.
