BEFORE READING THESE INSTRUCTIONS, REMOVE THE ILLUSTRATED PAGES IN THE CENTRE OF THIS DOCUMENTThis machine is only designed for domestic use and to wash, rinse, spin and, depending on the model,

dry machine-washable textiles.

• Fill your machine to the maximum. You therebyoptimise your water and electricity consumption.

• Only programme a pre-wash when absolutelynecessary: e.g. for heavily soiled sports orworking clothes, etc.

• A programme with no pre-wash is sufficient forslightly or moderately soiled clothes.

• For slightly soiled clothes, select a short washingcycle (or an «Express» cycle, depending on themodel).

• Gauge the amount of detergent according to thewater hardness, the degree of soiling and the amountof washing. Always follow the manufacturer’sinstructions on the detergent packets.

For washer-dryers:• If you spin at high speed, little dampness will

remain and you will therefore consume littleelectricity. Even synthetic textiles can be spunbefore drying.

• Choosing your drying time well also helps to savewater and electricity.

• Avoid wasting water and electricity by not over-drying your laundry.

� Failure to observe the following advice cancause severe and even irremediabledamage (damage to the drum, tornwashing, etc.) and rescinds the guarantee.

Sorting your washing•Ensure that all your washing is machine-

washable: check the labels on your washing(type, temperature, type of cleaning, etc.).

•Ensure that your coloureds do not run.•When washing a mixed load, use the

washing programme for the most delicatetextiles in the mix.

Checking your washing•Empty the pockets and close any zips and

press-studs.•Remove any curtain hooks or place your

curtains and any small items of laundry(ribbons, handkerchiefs, etc.) in a net bag.Button up pillowcases, etc.

•Remove any poorly attached buttons, pinsand hooks.

Access to the machine’s drum (FIGs. 3 - 4)•Proceed as follows:•Check that the machine is switched off.•Open the machine’s door (FIG. 4).•Press the button on the front flap. (FIG. 3 ➀ ➁ )Loading your washing•For optimum washing performance, place the

previously sorted and folded washing in thedrum, distributing it evenly without heaping itup. Mix large and small i tems to obtainoptimum spin-drying without unbalancing.

•Check that no items have fallen down theside the drum.

Closing the drum•Close the drum using both hands, ensuring

that the button returns to the correctposition. The coloured section must bevisible (FIG. 3 ➂ ➃).

CHECK THAT NO WASHING IS CAUGHTBETWEEN THE TWO FLAPS.

Checking your washing before drying(only for washer-dryer models)Your washing is composed of different types offibres, of different origins: the various items maytherefore behave very differently during drying.As a general rule, all machine-washable textilescan be dried in a domestic tumble dryer exceptfor:- Woollens, silks, net curtains, plasticised

fabrics, tights and nylon stockings- Chlorofibres (Thermolactyl* for example)

* Registered trademark- Foam, plastic or rubber-coated items or any

items with a framework that could becomedetached, bulky items (duvets, eiderdowns,etc.)

- Washing that has not been spun- Items washed with chemical products.

� You must however avoid drying light textilesand thick cotton textiles at the same time.The weight of the thick cotton textiles cancrease lighter ones.

� It is better to dry textiles not guaranteedcolourfast separately.

Preparing your washing

Washing products (Fig 10)Filling the detergent dispensers

➀ Pre-wash dispenser (powder )

➁ Wash dispenser (powder or liquid )

� The «WASH» dispenser may contain eitherpowder or liquid but liquid detergentsshould not be used with programmes WITHpre-wash.

➂ Bleach: bleach can be used as adisinfecting or bleaching agent. Concentratedbleach must be diluted.

➃ Softener: Concentrated softenershould be diluted with warm water.

Loading the washing productsFollow the dosage instructions on the pack.Warning: these are generally recommendedfor a full load of washing. Adapt the amountsto suit the condition of your washing.

Too much detergent can cause foam. Anexcessive amount of foam reduces yourmachine’s performance and increases thewashing time and water consumption.We recommend the use of "low suds" detergenton your washing machine.Do not forget to reduce the amounts whenusing concentrated detergents. See theinstructions on the pack.

Reduce the product amounts by 10%When the water is soft, when your washing isonly slightly soiled and there is only a smallamount. When the washing programme isshort.Detergents for woollens and delicatefabricsUse an appropriate detergent for washingthese textiles (avoid putting the detergentdirectly into the drum because some of theseproducts can attack the metal).
