A - FOR THE USER  
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.

User information  
• 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.  
• 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 pro-  
duct 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.  
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.  
*depending on model

User information  
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.  
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.  
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.

Sensitive  
Enhanced rinse action through an additional rinse cycle together with  
decreased drum movement (improved fabric care). This is ideal when  
frequent washes are necessary, for example, in cases of highly  
sensitive skin. An additional rinse cycle can also be permanently set  
(see section “Setup”).  
Stain  
For heavily soiled and stained washing. In-wash stain treatment  
products are washed in at the optimum time as the programme  
progresses.  
Night Cycle  
The washing is left to soak in the final rinse water. There is no final  
spin and no intermediate spin. Because of tis the programme runs  
very quietly. NIGHT CYCLE is therefore particularly suitable if you  
want to wash at night.  
Setup  
The special functions that can be set under Setup remain permanently

Washing guide  
Sorting and preparing your washing  
• Sort the washing by type and care symbol (see chapter 5.4: Inter-  
national symbols for care of textiles): normal wash for strong  
washing that can resist energetic wash and spin; delicate wash  
for delicate washing that should be treated more carefully. For  
mixed loads composed of articles of different types of fibers,  
choose a program and temperature suitable for the most fragile  
fiber.  
• Wash white washing and color washing separately. Otherwise,  
the white washing may be colored or look gray.  
• New clothes very often have too much color. Preferably wash  
new clothes separately for the first time. Respect "wash separa-  
tely" 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 fas-  
teners, tie knots in laces and straps.  
• Turn clothes made of several layers of textiles (sleeping 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.  
Washing load depending on the nature of the ma-  
terial  
The quantity of washing that you put in your drum must not exceed  
the maximum capacity of your washing machine. 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 water retention  
capacity. This is why in general the drum should be filled:  
• completely, but without excessive pressure for cotton and linen,  
and for mixed washe,  
• half full for treated cottons and synthetic fibers,  
23  
 
User information  
• 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.  
Detergents and additives  
Only use detergents and additives suitable for use in a washing  
machine. Read the manufacturer's instructions and respect sections  
about detergents dispenser and detergents.  
Powder detergents can be used without restriction; liquid detergents  
should be poured either in the proportioning 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 detergents 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 recommended to use a water  
softener) or if the washing is very dirty or stained.  
You can ask the water distribution company in your region or any  
other competent authority to find out the degree of hardness of your  
water.

Care and cleaning  
Do not do any cleaning operation until you have unplugged the  
washing machine.  
Descaling the washing machine  
Normally there is no need to descale the washing machine 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.  
The surface  
Clean the surface of your washing machine using lukewarm water  
and a mild detergent. Never use alcohol, solvents or similar products.  
The detergents dispenser  
From time to time, you must clean the detergents dispenser 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 light cleaning.

Water inlet  
The «aqua-stop» is a measure of protection  
against the damages caused by the water.  
Indeed, the water inlet worns away by time and  
it can so deteriorate. In this case, the «aqua-  
stop» prevents the water from going into the  
appliance.  
The problem is indicated by the appearance of  
a red mark in the window «A». Close the water  
inlet tap and call the After Sales Service.  
Screw the supply pipe connector onto the water inlet tap (20x27  
mm).  
Open the water inlet tap.  
You cannot prolong the water inlet pipe. If it is too short, call the  
After Sales Service.  
Drain  
The drain siphon must be placed inside a drain  
pipe (or in a washbasin) at a height of between  
70 and 100 cm. Make sure that it cannot fall.  
Important: the drain pipe must never be pro-  
longed. If it is too short, call a professional.

You can only connect this washing machine to 230 V single phase  
power supply.  
Check rating of the fuse line : 10 A at 230 V.
