For the user

Warnings

Keep this instruction book with the appliance. If the appliance is sold or transferred to another owner, ensure
that the book is supplied with the appliance. The new user can then find out about the operation of the
appliance and the relevant warnings.
These warnings have been provided in the interest of safety.
Please read these notes carefully before installing and using your appliance. Thank you for your attention.
Use
• Upon delivery of the appliance, remove the packaging
immediately. Check its general appearance.
Note any comments in writing on the delivery note of
which you keep one copy.
• This appliance is designed to be used by adults.
Ensure children do not touch it and use it as a toy.
• It is dangerous to alter or try to alter the specifications
of this appliance.
• Your appliance is designed for normal domestic usage.
Do not use it for commercial or industrial purposes or
for other uses than the one for which it was designed.
• Always unplug the appliance and turn off the water
after use.
• Only wash items which are designed to be machine
washed. Follow the instructions on the care label in
each garment.
• Do not wash garments containing wire and frayed or
torn articles.
• Any objects such as coins, safety pins, nails, screws,
etc. should be removed before washing.
They can cause extensive damage if they are left in
the clothing.
• Garments on which stain removers containing petrol,
alcohol, trichloroethylene, etc have been used should
not be machine washed. If such stain removers are
used, allow the product to evaporate before placing the
garments in the drum.
• Wash small items such as socks, laces, etc, in a small
washing bag or pillow. This prevents these items
sliding between the drum and the tub.
• Only use the quantities of fabric softener recommended
by the manufacturer. Indelible marks on the fabric may
result if you overfill with softener.
• Always unplug the appliance before cleaning and repai-
ring it.
Safeties
• Lid: your appliance is fitted with a safety device
preventing the lid from being closed when the drum
doors are open. It is then impossible to start.
An electronic safety device prevents the lid from being
opened during the operating cycle. At the end of the
cycle, the lid can be opened immediately: the immediate
opening "Door" light is thus extinguished. When the
lid is locked and released, an audible "click/clack"
alarm is sounded to warn you of the start or end of the
cycle.
Note: In the event of a power failure, the lid can only
be opened after 2 minutes.
• Washing motor: a thermal safety device protects the
motor against the risk of mechanical overload, excess
voltage or low voltage.
• Heating: the heating system can only operate if the tub
is filled with the amount of water required for washing.
This safety device works essentially when the water is
cut off or if the water inlet tap is closed.
• Anti-foam system: The electronic spin cycle with
intermediate spin after the main wash and the three
rinsing cycles for the whites and coloureds program-
mes ensures very low water consumption. After the
wash cycle, the spin cycle remains controlled by the
foam detection system. If necessary, the spin cycle is
interrupted until the foam is evacuated.
• Balance control system: This safety device ensures
the appliance remains stable during intermediate or
final spins and detects if the load is unevenly distributed
in the drum (small load or tangled washing) which the
balance control system then remedies.
