							User information
5•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 information6Water 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.

9How to do a wash ?
Before the first wash in your washing machine, we recommend that
you should do a preliminary wash at 90°C with detergent but without
any washing to clean the tub.
Loading the washing
•Lift the machine cover.
•Open the drum by pressing on the locking button A;  the two
flaps automatically separate.
•Insert the washing, close the drum and the cover of your washing
machine.
Warning : before you close the cover of
your washing machine, make sure that the
drum door is properly closed:
•the two flaps latched together,
•the locking button A extended.
Detergents 
Your washing machine has been produced in order to reduce water
and detergents consumptions, so you can reduce the doses
recommended by detergent manufacturers. Pour the powder
detergent dose into the wash compartment  and into the prewash
compartment  if you chose the «prewash» option. Pour in the
softener into the  compartment. If you are using a different type
of detergent, refer to the «detergents and additives» section in the
washing guide.A
