Safeties
Lid : your washing machine is equipped with
a safety avoiding the switching of the appliance
when the flapdoors of the drum are open;
the closure of the lid is so impossible. An
electromechanic safety prohibits the opening
ofthelidwhenthewashingmachineisworkingand
2 minutes after the end of the programme.
Washing motor : in case of mechanic
overloading, overvoltage, a thermic safety
protects automatically the motor.
Heating : the heating can only begin when
the water quantity necessary for the washing
is in the tub. This safety is useful when there is
a water break-up or if you forget to open the
water inlet hose.
The anti-foam system: water consumption is very
low, due to the electronic spin cycle with an inter-
mediate spin after the main wash and three rinse
cycles for white and coloureds programmes.
The spin cycle remains under the control of the
foam detection system after the wash cycle has
finished. If necessary, the spin cycle will stop until
all foam is removed.
Anti-balanced system : This safety allows to the
appliance to keep a perfect stability during the
intermediaryspinningsandduringthefinalspinning.
Ifyounoticethatyourlaundryisnotspinnedenough,
the anti-balanced system has then detected a bad
distributionofthelaundry during the finalspinning;

Environmental information
All materials marked by the symbol are
biodegradable. They can be disposed of without dan-
ger or burnt in rubbish incinerators.
In order to save water and energy and to act in an
environmentallyconsciousmanner,weadviceyouvto
follow the below instructions :
-Useifpossibletheappliancewithfullloadsinsteadof
partial loads. Take care to not overload the drum.
- Use only the programmes with prewash for very soi-
led laundry.
- Savings on detergent and for the environment may
also be achieved if with medium to hard water you
add sufficient detergent for soft water and then add
separately a softener. This relieves our waters of a
certain amount of chemicals.
When disposing of the machine in a proper
manner, destroy the door lock and cut off the
power supply cord.
