• 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 pre-
venting 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 eve-
rything that could be dangerous is out of service ; cut the power sup-
ply cable flush with the surface of your washing machine.
