For the user

Warnings

Keep this instruction book with the appliance. If the appliance is sold or transferred to another owner, ensure

that the book is supplied with the appliance. The new user can then find out about the operation of the

appliance and the relevant warnings.

These warnings have been provided in the interest of safety.

Please read these notes carefully before installing and using your appliance. Thank you for your attention.

Use

• Upon delivery of the appliance, remove the packaging

immediately. Check its general appearance.

Note any comments in writing on the delivery note of

which you keep one copy.

• This appliance is designed to be used by adults.

Ensure children do not touch it and use it as a toy.

• It is dangerous to alter or try to alter the specifications

of this appliance.

• Your appliance is designed for normal domestic usage.

Do not use it for commercial or industrial purposes or

for other uses than the one for which it was designed.

• Always unplug the appliance and turn off the water

after use.

• Only wash items which are designed to be machine

washed. Follow the instructions on the care label in

each garment.

• Do not wash garments containing wire and frayed or

torn articles.

• Any objects such as coins, safety pins, nails, screws,

etc. should be removed before washing.

They can cause extensive damage if they are left in

the clothing.

• Garments on which stain removers containing petrol,

alcohol, trichloroethylene, etc have been used should

not be machine washed. If such stain removers are

used, allow the product to evaporate before placing the

garments in the drum.

• Wash small items such as socks, laces, etc, in a small

washing bag or pillow. This prevents these items

sliding between the drum and the tub.

• Only use the quantities of fabric softener recommended

by the manufacturer. Indelible marks on the fabric may

result if you overfill with softener.

• Always unplug the appliance before cleaning and repai-

ring it.

Safeties

• Lid: your appliance is fitted with a safety device

preventing the lid from being closed when the drum

doors are open. It is then impossible to start.

An electronic safety device prevents the lid from being

opened during the operating cycle. At the end of the

cycle, the lid can be opened immediately: the immediate

opening “DECKEL/COUVERCLE” light is thus extin-

guished. When the lid is locked and released, an

audible “click/clack” alarm is sounded to warn you of

the start or end of the cycle.

Note: In the event of a power failure, the lid can only

be opened after 2 minutes.

• Washing motor:

a thermal safety device protects the

motor against the risk of mechanical overload, excess

voltage or low voltage.

• Heating:

the heating system can only operate if the tub

is filled with the amount of water required for washing.

This safety device works essentially when the water is

cut off or if the water inlet tap is closed.

• Anti-foam system

: The electronic spin cycle with

intermediate spin after the main wash and the three

rinsing cycles for the whites and coloureds program-

mes ensures very low water consumption. After the

wash cycle, the spin cycle remains controlled by the

foam detection system. If necessary, the spin cycle is

interrupted until the foam is evacuated.

• Balance control system:

This safety device ensures

the appliance remains stable during intermediate or

final spins and detects if the load is unevenly distributed

in the drum (small load or tangled washing) which the

balance control system then remedies.

Disposal

Packaging

• All materials marked with the symbol are recy-

clable. Dispose of them in a tip designed for this purpose

(contact your local waste disposal office) so that they

can be recovered and recycled.

> PE <= polyethylene

> PS <= polystyrol

> PP <= polypropylene

Environment protection

To save water and energy and therefore to help to protect

the environment, we recommend that you follow these

instructions:

• If possible, load the appliance to full capacity rather

than with partial loads (ensuring that the drum is not

overloaded).

• Use the prewash function only for very dirty laundry.

• Adjust the amount of detergent to the hardness of the

water as well as to the load and soiling of the laundry.

Appliance

When disposing of your old appliance, make it unusable

as it may represent a danger: cut the electric cable and

make the door catch unusable.

1 Programme selector

It is used to select the most suitable programme to the

type and soiling of your laundry.

This dial is divided into two sectors:

- wash programmes:

cotton, mixed cottons, synthetics, delicates, wool

and handwashing,

- additional programmes and stop function.

This programme selector can be turned to the left or to

the right.

At the end of the programme, the selector should be

on the stop position "AUS/ARRÊT".

Options buttons

The various options should be chosen after the

programme has been displayed and before pressing

the Start/Pause button.

The corresponding lights illuminate when these buttons

are pressed. When pressed again, the lights extinguish.

They flash for approximately 3 seconds and the word

"Err" appears on the display window to warn of a selec-

tion error.

2 Temperature button

When selecting the temperature, a maximum temperature

is displayed. This button is used to select the washing

temperature from cold "

" to 90°C. This temperature

can then be reduced using this button. To select the

washing temperature, take into account the selected

programme and use the temperature specified on the

care label of each garment to be washed (see

WASHING GUIDE).

3 Spin button

When selecting the programme, a maximum speed

(corresponding to the type of laundry) is displayed.

However, by pressing the spin button (Schleudern/

Essorage), this speed can be reduced or the “no spin”

option "

" (drain) can be selected depending on your

drying options.

Spinning

Spinning speeds depend on the type of laundry. The

following speeds can be selected:

• Cotton / Mixed cotton:

500/700/900 and 1300 rpm.

• Synthetics / Wool / Handwash:

/500/700 and 900 rpm.

• Delicates:

/500 and 700 rpm.

No spin

If you select the " " position, the appliance drains the

water only. This function cannot be selected with the

Cotton and Mixed cotton programmes. This function

is very useful for very delicate laundry.

4 Prewash button

The appliance performs a prewash at 30°C max.

The prewash ends with a short spin for the cotton, mixed

cotton and synthetics programmes and drains the water

for delicates. It is not possible to select the prewash

option for the wool and handwash programmes.

This option is recommended for heavily soiled laundry.

5 Short button

By pressing this button, the washing time is reduced as

follows:

- 49 minutes for the 90°C cotton programmes,

- 62 minutes for the 60°C mixed cotton programmes,

- 28 minutes for synthetics,

- 8 minutes for delicates.

This function cannot be used on the wool and handwash

programmes and is recommended for lightly soiled

clothes.

6 Rinse hold button

This button can be used with all wash and rinse pro-

grammes. The water from the final rinse is not drained

at the end of the selected programme to prevent creas-

ing the laundry if it is not removed immediately from the

drum. You can select this option at any point up to the

rinse cycles by selecting the Start/Pause button before-

hand. The Start/Pause light flashes and the remaining

time display window shows “

0”.

There are three different ways of draining the water:

• Select the drain programme "Abpumpen/Vidange"

The appliance drains the water without spinning. Before

selecting the drain programme "Abpumpen/Vidange",

the programme selector must be in the stop position

"AUS/ARRÊT".

• Press the start/pause button

The appliance drains the water and spins the washing

depending on the type of laundry at maximum speed.

• Select the spin speed

Select the desired spin speed by pressing the spin

button and then press the Start/Pause button.

Warning: if the water is not drained within 18 hours, the

appliance is automatically drained.

7 BIO button

This button can be used on the cotton and synthetic

programmes but only when the selected temperature is

equal or upper at 40°C.

By pressing the BIO button, the washing time is

increased by 10 minutes as the temperature of the water

has reached 40°C.

Thanks to this option, the enzymes of the detergent are

revived.

8 Delayed start button

This button is used to delay the start of a programme

from 1 to 24 hours.

Using delayed start

• Select the programme.

• Select the required time for the delayed start.

• Press the Start/Pause button.

The timer is displayed in hours.

The lid can be opened to load the washing during the

delayed start period by pressing the Start/Pause button.

The programme starts when the time has elapsed.

Modifying the delayed start

• Press the Start/Pause button.

• Press the delayed start button "Zeitvorwahl/Départ

différé" until the new number of hours at the end of

which you want the programme to start appears in

move the programme selector to the stop position

"AUS/ARRÊT".

• Press the Start/Pause button again so as to

activate the new delayed start selection or to start

the programme (if the delayed start has been

cancelled).

Be careful : if you use liquid detergent for a washing

cycle with a delayed start, use a ball to put directly in

the drum and choose a programme without prewash.

If you want to realize a prewash with a delayed start in

the same time, please use powder detergent.

Information about the programme

Wool " "

With this programme, woollen garments can be washed

which contain the words “pure new wool, machine wash-

able, does not shrink” on the care label but also woollen

garments which normally have to be handwashed and

all other garments which contain the “hand washable”

symbol on the care label.

Soaking "Einweichen/Trempage"

The soaking programme is a separate programme which

operates with the Start/Pause button after having se-

lected it.

THE DRUM SELF POSITIONING SYSTEM

This electronic system ensures the doors are in the

upper position when the wash programme finishes thus

aiding removal and loading of the washing. If the washing

remains unevenly distributed meaning that the drum is

not in the correct position, rotate the drum manually until

the doors are in the upper position.

Using the machine

Before using your appliance for the first time, we

recommend that you perform a preliminary wash, with-

out laundry, to clean the drum and tub if necessary:

- Pour an amount of detergent into the “wash” compart-

ment.

- Select a 90°C cotton programme.

- Press the start/pause button "

": the wash cycle

starts.

1. Loading the laundry

lift the lid of the machine,

open the drum by pressing on button A : the two flaps

are opened automatically,

load the laundry, close the drum and the lid of the

appliance.

Warning: before closing the lid of your appliance,

ensure that the drum door is properly closed:

the two flaps are locked,

the locking button A is out.

An electronic system allows the drum to be in the high

position when the cycle is finished. This system allows

for easier loading and unloading of the laundry. If an

unbalanced weight alters the functionning, turn the drum

by hand.

2. Measuring the detergent

Pour the amount of powdered detergent into the dispens-

ers

( ) and ( ) or a scale-remover into the dispenser

( ) if applicable.

If you are using a liquid detergent, refer to the “Choosing

a detergent” section in the washing guide.

3. Additives

If required, pour fabric softener into the softener dis-

penser

( ) without exceeding the maximum level.

4. Selecting the desired programme

Turn the programme selector to the chosen programme.

The lights corresponding to the phases included in the

programme illuminate.

If the programme selector is turned when the appliance

is performing a wash cycle, the code “Err” appears in the

display window and flashes for 4 seconds. The pro-

gramme will be carried out and will ignore the new

position of the selector. The timer for the current cycle

reappears in the display window.

The stop position "AUS/ARRÊT" of the programme

selector is used to cancel the programme and to restart

the appliance in the event of an error.

5. Selecting the temperature

Select the temperature which corresponds to the chosen

programme, using the instructions given on the pro-

gramme chart.

6. Selecting the spin speed or the

no spin option "

When selecting the programme, or in pause mode, the

light corresponding to the maximum spin speed

illuminates. You can adjust the spin speed which corres-

ponds to the type of laundry and the degree of dampness

required at the end of the wash depending on your drying

possibilities. You can also choose the no spin position

" immediately after the final rinse.

7. Selecting the desired option

Press the desired button or buttons; the corresponding

lights illuminate. When one of these options is not

compatible with the selected programme, the corre-

sponding light flashes for 4 seconds and the word “Err”

appears in the display window.

8. Selecting delayed start

Before starting the programme, if you want to delay it,

press this button until the desired delayed start is

displayed; this appears in the display window (24 hours

maximum).

9. Starting the programme

Press the Start/Pause button: the corresponding light

stops flashing and only the lights of the phase currently

being performed and the light of the Start/Pause button

remain illuminated.

If a delayed start has been selected, the appliance starts

the timer.

The time remaining window displays the duration of the

programme or the delayed start.

10. Modifying the programme in

progress

Before any modifications, the appliance must be switched

to PAUSE by pressing the Start/Pause button. If you

want to change the programme, the current one must be

cancelled first by turning the programme selector to the

stop position "AUS/ARRÊT". Then select the new pro-

gramme and press the Start/Pause button again.

flashes during the pause period. Press this same button

again to continue the programme.

12. Opening the lid

- Opening the lid during the cycle:

The lid can be opened (after pressing the start/pause

button) throughout all wash phases when the tempera-

ture of the washing water is below 40°C; the immediate

opening light "DECKEL/COUVERCLE" is then illumi-

nated.

- Opening the lid at the end of the cycle:

The immediate opening of the lid is signalled by a double

“click” of the locking device. The immediate opening

light "DECKEL/COUVERCLE" is extinguished and only

the drum in upper position light "DSP" remains illumi-

nated.

13. Cancelling a programme

Turn the programme selector dial to the stop position

"AUS/ARRÊT".

14. End of programme

The appliance stops automatically.

If the rinse hold option "Spülstopp/Arrêt cuve pleine" has

been selected, the light of the Start/Pause button flashes

indicating that the water must be drained before opening

the lid (see page 31: rinse hold button "Spülstopp/Arrêt

cuve pleine").

Turn the programme selector dial to the stop position

"AUS/ARRÊT".

Remove the laundry.

Unplug the appliance and switch off the water inlet tap.

Check that the drum is empty: any garments left in the

machine may be damaged during the next wash (shrink-

age) or their colour may run onto other garments.

Note:

We recommend that the lid and drum are left open after

use to air the tub.

Washing guide

Sorting the laundry into categories:

To obtain the best washing results, we recommend that

you sort your laundry into categories:

- on the one hand, resistant laundry which can withstand

powerful washing and spinning;

- on the other hand, delicate laundry which should be

washed with care.

For mixed loads or loads consisting of garments made

from fibres of different types, select a programme and

temperature suited to the most delicate fibre.

Temperatures

High temperature : 90°C

Ideal for cotton, linen and hemp garments such as tea

towels, towels, sheets, pillow cases, etc. The generally

white fibres may be heavily soiled.

Average temperature : 60°C

Recommended for whites which are not heavily soiled

and for fast coloureds, for synthetics and mixed cotton.

All these garments contain a care label stating that they

can be washed at a maximum temperature of 60°C.

Low temperature : 30-40°C

Ideal for delicate synthetics, silk, acrylic and woollen

garments containing the care label “pure new wool - does

not shrink - (

)". All other woollen garments must in

general be dry cleaned or handwashed.

Washing coloureds

When washed for the first time, coloureds may loose

their colour which may run onto other garments.

To ensure that the colour does not run, we recommend

that you perform the following simple test:

Removing stains

Remove certain stains which may not come out, espe-

cially if they are old, by working from the outside of the

stain towards the inside to avoid making rings.

Grass. Wash carefully, treat with diluted bleach. For

woollen garments, methylated spirits may achieve good

results.

Felt tip pen. Dab with a clean cloth soaked in methyl-

ated spirits. Take care not to spread the stain.

Rust. Use an anti-rust product, following the manufac-

turer’s recommendations carefully.

Scorch marks. If the fabric is only slightly scorched and

provided that the colours are fast, soak in water with a

little bleach, otherwise soak the fabric in a solution of 10

parts water to 1 part hydrogen peroxide and leave for 10

- 15 minutes.

Chewing gum. Dilute it with nail varnish remover then

remove it with a clean cloth. Ensure that the fabric can

withstand the nail varnish remover.

Tar. Spread a bit of butter onto the stain, leave then

sponge off with turps.

Lip stick. Place the stained side of the fabric on kitchen

paper then dampen the reverse of the fabric with nail

varnish remover taking care to change the paper under-

neath the stain frequently. Ensure that the fabric can

withstand the nail varnish remover.

Paint. Do not allow paint marks to dry. Treat immedi-

ately with the solvent specified on the paint tin (water,

turps, white spirit). Wash then rinse.

Wax. Scratch off the wax with a blunt blade to remove

as much as possible, then iron it placing a sheet of silk

paper between the iron and the stained fabric.

Check the laundry

Empty all pockets.

Close zips and poppers.

Remove curtain hooks or place the curtains in a laundry

bag.

Remove loose buttons, pins and clips.

To protect them, place curtains in a pillow case for

example.

Fasten or remove loose buttons.

Select a non visible

part of the garment

Dampen with

warm water

If the colour runs

handwash the

garment

Then press it between a

white piece of cotton

If the colour does not

run, you can machine

wash it

Maximum laundry loads depend-

ing on fabric type

The amount of laundry placed in the drum must not

exceed the maximum capacity of the appliance. This

capacity varies depending on the nature of the fabrics.

Reduce the quantity for heavily soiled laundry or for

sponge type fabrics.

Maximum load

Not all textiles have the same volume and the same

water retention ability.

This is why, the drum should in general be filled:

- fully but without excessive pressure for cotton, linen

and mixed fabrics,

- half full for treated cottons and synthetic fabrics,

- approximately a third full for very delicate garments

such as net curtains and woollen items.

For a mixed laundry load, fill the drum depending on the

nature of the most delicate fabrics.

The average weights of the most common items are

listed below as a guide:

bath robe .......................................................... 1200 g

hand towel ......................................................... 180 g

large towel ........................................................ 1300 g

single sheet ........................................................ 800 g

pillow case ..........................................................200 g

night shirt ............................................................ 180 g

man's pyjamas.................................................... 500 g

child's pyjamas ................................................... 200 g

man's shirt ..........................................................250 g

blouse ................................................................. 150 g

tea towel .............................................................100 g

overalls ..................................................... 300 à 600 g

Detergent

Choosing the detergent

Detergent manufacturers state on the label the maxi-

mum amount of detergent to be used depending on the

laundry load.

Due to the “Direct Spray” washing system which

reduces water and detergent consumption, only use

two thirds of the amounts recommended by the de-

tergent manufacturers.

Amount :

The amount of detergent to use depends on the amount

of laundry to be washed, water hardness and the degree

of soiling of the laundry.

Use slightly less detergent in soft water areas. For hard

water areas or heavily soiled or stained laundry, use

lightly more detergent.

You can find out about how hard the water is in your area

by contacting your local water board or other profes-

sional department.

Note : Only use low foaming detergents, specially

designed for use in wahing machines. Use neutral

products for washing wool.

If you use liquid detergents, place the dosing ball

directly into the drum. If the laundry is then to be dried

in a tumble dryer, remember to remove the dosing ball.

Liquid detergent can also be poured directly into the

dispensing drawer (

), provided that the appliance is

switched on immediately.

Liquid detergents are designed for lower temperatures,

being 30°C and 40°C, whilst a powder detergent should

be used for higher temperatures from 60°C to 90°C.

Disconnect the appliance before cleaning.

Descaling the appliance

It is not generally necessary to descale the appliance if

the correct amount of detergent is used.

However, if scale builds up, use a specific non corrosive

product specially designed for washing machines avail-

able in the shops.

Use the correct amount of descaler and the correct

descaling frequency specified on the packaging.

After each wash cycle

We recommend that the lid and drum are left open after

use to air the drum and prevent mould and stagnant

smells forming.

External cleaning

Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with warm

water and mild detergent. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

Important: never use alcohol, solvents or similar prod-

ucts.

Detergent dispenser

Removal :

Press the clips located on either side of the dispensing

drawer and pull it upwards.

You can then clean it with running water and a brush or

cloth.

Check that the siphons located at the rear of the

dispensing drawer are not blocked.

Maintenance and cleaning

Refitting :

Reposition the detergent dispenser in the slots until it is

clipped in.

Drain filter

Regularly clean the filter located at the bottom of the

appliance (filter light "Flusensieb/Filtre" illuminates when

this filter is blocked). If you frequently wash laundry

which sheds fluff, clean the filter after each wash. Lower

the drain hose over a large bowl placed on the floor to

drain any water remaining in the machine then:

to drain the residual water:

a. Open the door, with a screwdriver for example :

b. Place a shallow straight edged bowl underneath.

To finish draining, turn the drain filter plug so that it is

vertical and can release the residual water.

to clean the filter:

a. Turn the filter in an anti-clockwise direction and

remove.

b. Clean it thoroughly under running water.

c. Replace the filter and screw it in a clockwise

direction.

Aftre cleaning the filter, you are required to closed the

door. In fact, for reasons of safety, the door must be

closed when the appliance is working.
