stops on the position "I".

automatically by a rinse hold to avoid the creasing of the laundry if it is not taken away
from the drum just after the wash. You can end these programmes by pressing in the
pushbutton "rinse hold" or by a draining (programme 15).
Be careful : the lid can only be opened 1 or 2 minutes after the machine has stopped.
After each wash :

The products
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for recommended quantities.
If the water is soft, decrease the quantity.
If the water is hard or if the laundry is very soiled or stained, increase the detergent quantity
a little.
For information regarding the degree of hardness in your area, enquire with your local
authorities.
Bleach
You may use a bleach agent in all the washing programmes. However, make sure that
the fabric withstands the treatment. Bleach is automatically washed down into the drum.
Pour 1/4 to 1 glass of 12° chl bleach into compartment "c
" before switching the machine
on.
Make sure that the level of the liquid never exceeds the grid.
Softener
Compartment allows automatic addition to the last rinse of a liquid softener.
Follow the quantities recommended on the bottle.
Make sure that the level of the liquid never exceeds the grid.
Removal of internal packing
The parts protecting the inner components of the machine during transit are red. They
must all be removed before using your machine for the first time. These parts and their
securing means should be kept in case the machine has to be transported again.
1. Tilt the machine backwards (fig. 1).
2. Unscrew and remove the 2 screws A and the 2 red washers B situated under the
washing machine, then pull on the red plastic ring to take part C out of the machine
(fig. 1).
3. Straighten up the machine.
4. After removing the 4 nuts D, the 4 washers (fig. 2), remove the 4 red plastic sleeves
E : pull the ring, rotating it at the same time leftwards and rightwards (fig. 3).
If you do not manage to take the red socket off, use a wrench and turn it anticlockwise
as shown on the picture (fig. 3 et 4).
5. Unscrew and remove the 4 threaded pins F.
6. Plug the holes left by pins F with plugs G (to be found in the plastic bag with the
instruction manual) taking care to shut down the central part as shown on drawing (fig.
5) and take the polystyrene block away (fig. 6).
Your washing machine is now ready to be operated.
Be careful : when the machine is installed on carpeted floor, ensure that the carpet
do not obstruct the openings, located at the base of the machine, which are provided
for ventilation.
Electrical connection
Before you plug the appliance into the wall socket, make sure that :
• The supply voltage of the domestic wiring system
does not fluctuate by more than 10% plus or minus
from the value shown on the rating plate.
• The meter, the fuses, the supply line and the wall
socket are all suitable to carry the maximum load
required by the washing machine (2,2 kW).
The existing safety rules call for the appliance to be
connected to an efficient ground wire.
The manufacturer disclaims any liability whatsoever
if this accident prevention rule is not complied with.
This appliance complies with E.E.C. directive n° 87-308
of 06.1987 relative to radio interference suppression
and with E.E.C. directive n° 73-23 relative to electrical safety.
Water connection
• The end of the water inlet hose must be connected to a cold water tap having 3/4" gas
thread spout or to a water tap having a quick-coupling connector after having introduced
in the hose ring nut a rubber sealing washer also provided with the machine.
• The curved end of the outlet hose should be inserted into a drain pipe not less than 70 cm
and not more than 1,0 m from floor level.
Make sure that the drain hose is always safely secured so that it will not become loose or fall
down from its position.
The water should drain freely and consequently, the drain hose should not be chocked or
placed in such a way as to obstruct the normal water flow.
If an extension is required, remember that it might cause a malfunction in the drain pump,
particularly if the extension has a length in excess of 1 meter or if the diameter of the extension
is smaller than the diameter of the original drain hose.
