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 sa-

fety of others. Please read these comments carefully before instal-

ling and using your washing machine. Thank you for your

attention.

unpacked immediately. Check its general appearance. Make any

reserves in writing on the delivery form and keep a copy.

• Your washing machine was designed for use by adults. Make sure

that children do not touch it or use it as a toy.

• Do not modify or attempt to modify the characteristics of this

washing machine. This could be dangerous for you.

• Your washing machine is intended for normal domestic use. Do

instructions on the label for each article.

• Do not wash underwear with bones, or any material without

hems, or torn materials in your washing machine.

• Remember to remove all coins, safety pins, boraches, screws, etc.,

before each wash. They can cause serious damage if they are left

in your washing.

User’s instructions

• Do not put articles in your washing machine if you have used a

solvent, alcohol, trichloroethylene, etc., to remove stains from

them. If you must use these stain removers, wait until the product

has evaporated before putting the articles in the drum.

• Collect all small articles such as socks, belts, etc., in a small cloth

bag or pillow case.

• Use the quantity of detergent indicated in the «proportioning of

detergents» section.

• Always unplug the washing machine before cleaning it and doing

any maintenance.

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.

• Unplug the washing machine.

• Screw in the water inlet pipe and install the drain pipe.

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.

The symbol on the product or on its packaging indicates that

this product may not be treated as household waste. Instead it shall

be handed over to the applicable collection point for the recycling of

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).

• Only use the Prewash or Soak function for very dirty washing.

• Use a detergent dose adapted to the water hardness (see «propor-

tioning of detergents» section) and to the amount of washing

and how dirty it is.
