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, 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.
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
you put 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 you put your washing in
the drum.
6
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.
Installation
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.

User's instructions
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.
All repairs to the washing machine must be made by qualified personnel.
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
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 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.

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 you have made all these verifications, you should
normally call the After Sales Service of the company that 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.
