Selecting a wash programme
Automatic safety devices
Half load
Mainly used for reduced loads of
washing, from 1 to 3 kg. Considerable
savings in water and electricity are
therefore made.
Full drum stop
This function is intended for articles you
don't want to spin-dry or if you expect
to be absent when the programme
comes to an end.
When this button is selected, the cycle
is interrupted before final spinning,
allowing your washing to float in water
to avoid creasing. Then:
- if you want draining with spinning:
release this button, the programme
terminates automatically.
- if you simply want to drain your
washing: turn knob
to position
"Drain"
and release the button.
Starting the machine
Check that the power cable is plugged
in and the water inlet tap open.
After setting the programme and
perhaps choosing the "Half load" and
"Full drum stop" options, press the
"On / Off" button.
The washing cycle begins.
Do not start the machine unless the
drum loading doors and the machine
lid are properly closed.
Stopping the machine
On completion of the cycle, switch off
the machine by releasing the "On/Off"
button.
You can then open the lid and remove
your laundry.
You should also release any other
buttons you have selected.
As a safety measure, you should
unplug the power cable and close the
water inlet valve.

Lid open safety devices:
Once the washing cycle starts, the lid of
your machine is locked.
If you want to open the lid during the cycle,
release the "On/Off" button and wait 2 or
3 minutes for the lid safety device to unlock.
Similarly, when the cycle has finished or
when the machine is stopped with the tank
full of water, you must wait for 2 or 3
minutes for the safety device to unlock.
Spinning safety device:
Your washing machine is fitted with a safety
device that prevents spinning if it detects
uneven loading.
In this case: open the drum, redistribute the
clothes and programme a further spinning.
