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

  • 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 characteristics of this washing machine. This could be dangerous 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.
  • Unplug the power supply 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, 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 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 electrical and electronic equipment. By ensuring this product is disposed of correctly, you will help prevent potential negative consequences for the environment and human health, which could otherwise be caused by inappropriate waste handling of this product. For more detailed information about recycling of this product, please contact your local city office, your household waste disposal service or the shop where you purchased the product.

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 «proportioning of detergents» section) and to the amount of washing and how dirty it is.

5. WASHING GUIDE

5.1. Sorting and preparing your washing

  • Sort the washing by type and care symbol (see chapter 5.4: International 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 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 (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.

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 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,
  • 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.

5.3. Detergents and additives

Only use detergents and additives suitable for use in a washing machine. Read the manufacturer's instructions and respect sections 2.1 and 3.2.

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.

6. CARE AND CLEANING

Do not do any cleaning operation until you have unplugged the washing machine.

6.1. 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.

6.2. The surface

Clean the surface of your washing machine using lukewarm water and a mild detergent. Never use alcohol, solvents or similar products.

6.3. 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.

Disassembly:
