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.
1.1. Usage
•
•
Select the «Drain» programme and make sure it
works until it is complete.
Switch the washing machine off by putting the pro-
gram 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.
•
When you receive your washing machine, unpack it
or have it 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 characteris-
tics of this washing machine. This could be dange-
rous for you.
Your washing machine is intended for normal
domestic use. Do not use it for commercial or
industrial purposes or for any purpose other than
that for which it was designed : to wash, to rinse
and to spin.
•
•
•
•
•
Water that remained in the pipes will then be evacua-
ted, 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 tem-
perature is above 0°C.
•
•
•
•
Unplug the power suplly plug and close the water
supply tap every time after using your washing
machine.
Only wash articles that can resist machine
washing. Refer to the 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, bora-
ches, screws, etc., before each wash. They can
cause serious damage if they are left in your
washing.
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 evapora-
ted 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 «pro-
portioning of detergents» section.
Always unplug the washing machine before clea-
ning it and doing any maintenance.
1.3. Scrapping
All materials marked with the
symbol can be recy-
cled. 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 sur-
face 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 over-
load the drum).
•
•
Only use the Prewash or Soak function for very
dirty washing.
Use a detergent dose adapted to the water hard-
ness (see «proportioning of detergents» section)
and to the amount of washing and how dirty it is.
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.

5.3. Detergents and additives
5. WASHING GUIDE
Only use detergents and additives suitable for use in a
washing machine. Read the manufacturer's instruc-
tions and respect sections 2.1 and 3.2.
5.1. Sorting and preparing your
washing
Powder detergents can be used without restriction; li-
quid detergents should be poured either in the propor-
tioning bowl directly in the drum, or in the wash
compartment provided that the washing machine is
started immediately; detergents in tablets or doses
must be put into the wash compartment of the deter-
gents dispenser in your washing machine.
The quantity of detergent to be used depends on the
amount of washing to be washed, the hardness of the
water and how dirty the washing is.
If the water is soft, you can reduce the doses slightly.
Increase the doses slightly if the water is hard (it is re-
commended to use a water softener) or if the washing
is very dirty or stained.
You can ask the water distribution company in your re-
gion or any other competent authority to find out the de-
gree of hardness of your water.
•
Sort the washing by type and care symbol (see
chapter 5.4: International symbols for care of texti-
les): normal wash for strong washing that can
resist energetic wash and spin; delicate wash for
delicate washing that should be treated more care-
fully. For mixed loads composed of articles of diffe-
rent types of fibers, choose a program and
temperature suitable for the most fragile fiber.
Wash white washing and color washing separa-
tely. Otherwise, the white washing may be colored
or look gray.
New clothes very often have too much color. Prefe-
rably wash new clothes separately for the first time.
Respect "wash separately" and "wash several
times separately" care instructions.
Empty pockets and spread out the washing.
Take off all loose buttons, pins and hooks and eyes.
Close zip fasteners, tie knots in laces and straps.
Turn clothes made of several layers of textiles (slee-
ping bags, anoraks, etc.), colored hosiery and wool
and textiles with add-on decorations, inside out.
Wash small delicate items (socks, tights, bras, etc)
in a washing net.
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Treat curtains with special care. Remove curtain
hooks and put net curtains in a net bag or a sachet.
5.2. Washing load depending on the
nature of the material
The quantity of washing that you put in your drum must
not exceed the maximum capacity of your washing ma-
chine. This capacity may vary depending on the nature
of your textiles. Reduce the quantity of washing if it is
very dirty or if you have terry cloth type materials.
Not all textiles have the same volume and the same wa-
ter retention capacity. This is why in general the drum
should be filled:
•
completely, but without excessive pressure for cot-
ton and linen, and for mixed washe,
•
•
half full for treated cottons and synthetic fibers,
about one third full for very delicate articles such as
net curtains and wool.
For a mixed wash, fill the drum as required for the most
delicate material.

6.4. The drain filter
6. CARE AND CLEANING
Clean the filter at the bottom of the washing machine
regularly. The "filter"* light comes on if the filter is blo-
cked. In this case clean it immediately. If you wash
washing that is very fluffy, clean it after each wash.
Do not do any cleaning operation until you have
unplugged the washing machine.
6.1. Descaling the washing machine
•
Open the door, with a screwdriver for example:
Normally there is no need to descale the washing ma-
chine if the detergent was correctly proportioned.
If descaling is necessary, use a special non-corrosive
product specially designed for washing machines that
you can find in the shops. Respect the proportion and
frequency of descaling shown on your packaging.
6.2. The surface
Clean the surface of your washing machine using lu-
kewarm water and a mild detergent. Never use alco-
hol, solvents or similar products.
•
Drain residual water:
6.3. The detergents dispenser
Put a receptacle under the
drain. Turn the cap in the anti-
clockwise direction until it is
vertical to release residual wa-
ter.
From time to time, you must clean the detergents dis-
penser in order to eliminate the possible wastes of the
detergents and then to avoid an operating problem.
The detergent dispenser is very easy to remove for a li-
ght cleaning.
Disassembly:
Press the clips on each side of
the detergents dispenser and
pull it upwards.
•
Remove the filter:
Unscrew the cap all the way
and take it off. Clean it tho-
roughly with running water.
Put the assembly back and
screw it in the clockwise direc-
tion.
You can thus clean it using
running water and a brush or a
twisted cloth. Check that the
siphons at the back of the de-
tergents dispenser are not
blocked.
After cleaning the filter, you are required to closed the
door. In fact, for reasons of safety, the door must be
closed when the appliance is working.
Reassembly :
Put the detergents dispenser in
the notches until they lock.
