EN 1 / INTRODUCTION TO YOUR MACHINE
•SAFETY ADVICE
Important:
This machine is only for domestic use and
is designed to wash, rinse, spin and, depending on
the model, dry machine-washable textiles.
Y
ou must observe the following instructions. We
refuse to accept any liability and the guarantee if
you do not observe these recommendations since
this could result in damage to equipment or
physical injury.
— This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
— The machine must only be used in accordance
with its normal method of operation in order to
avoid damaging your washing and your machine.
Only use washing and maintenance products
certified for use in domestic washing machines.
— If you pre-treat your washing with stain removers,
solvents or, in general, any inflammable or
potentially highly explosive product, do not insert
them into the machine immediately.
Furthermore, you are also recommended not to use
solvents or products in aerosol cans near to your
washing machine or any electrical appliance in
general in a poorly ventilated room (risk of fire and
explosion).
— If any incidents occur and you cannot resolve
them using the remedies we recommend (see the
section “INCIDENTS THAT MAY OCCUR”), call in a
qualified professional.
— If you have to open your machine during a cycle
(for example, to add or remove washing),
depending on the stage the programme is at
(during washing essentially), be careful of the
temperature inside the machine, which may be very
high (risk of severe burns).
— When making a new installation, the machine
must be connected to the water supply with a new
hose: the old hose must not be re-used.

EN1 / INTRODUCTION TO YOUR MACHINE
•REMOVING THE TRANSPORT
CLAMPS
Important:
The following operations must be
performed before you use the machine Fig. 1 & 2.
First of all remove the piece of expanded
polystyrene from under the lid.
•
Rear transport clamp
(Fig. 1
➀
to
➃
)
➀
Unscrew the 6 screws using a No. 10 tube
spanner or a straight-edged screwdriver.
➁
Remove the clamp.
➂
Free the power cable from the plastic holder
clipping it to the transport clamp.
➃
Plug the holes left by the clamp using the plugs
supplied and re-screw the 4 external screws into
the casing.
2 / INSTALLING YOUR MACHINE
•SAFETY ADVICE (continued)
— Do not let children play with the machine and
keep your pets away from it.
— You must immediately make any obsolete
machine unusable. Disconnect and cut off the
power cable flush with the machine. Close the
water tap and remove the hose. Disable the door
lock.
— If there is a risk of frost, disconnect the water
hose and drain off any water that may remain in the
drain hose by placing this as low as possible in a
bowl.
•
For washer-dryers:
— Before drying, remove the detergent dispensers
placed in the drum with your washing. Their plastic
material cannot withstand the drying temperatures.
•SAVING ENERGY
— Only programme a prewash when it is absolutely
necessary: for example, for very dirty sports or
working clothes, etc.
— A low temperature programme is sufficient for
impeccable washing results when your washing is
only slightly or moderately dirty.
— For washing that is only slightly dirty, select a
short washing cycle.
— Use the right amount of washing products for the
hardness of the water, the amount of washing and
how dirty it is and follow the instructions on the
detergent packs.
•
For washer-dryers:
— If you spin at high speed, little dampness will
remain and you will therefore consume little
electricity. Even synthetic textiles can be spun
before drying.
— Choosing your drying time well also helps to save
water and electricity.
— Avoid wasting water and electricity by not over-
drying your laundry.
•
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
T
his appliance’s packaging material is
recyclable. Help recycle it and protect the
environment by dropping it off in the municipal
receptacles provided for this purpose.
Your appliance also contains a great
amount of recyclable material. It is
marked with this label to indicate that
in countries that are a members of the
European Union the used appliances should
not be mixed with other waste.
This way, the appliance recycling organised
by your manufacturer will be done under the
best possible conditions, in compliance with
European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste

Your machine has been scrupulously
checked before it left the factory. You may
therefore notice a little water still remaining in the
tank or the products box.
•CONNECTING TO THE COLD
WATER SUPPLY
Your washing machine can be connected to any
cold water pipe.
Connect the supply hose provided to a threaded
20x27 Ø tap (3/4 BSP) not forgetting to insert the
seal supplied (depending on the model, the hose
may already be fitted with a seal)
(Fig. 3)
.
Water supply:
- Minimum water pressure: 0.1 MPa or 1 bar
- Maximum water pressure: 1 MPa or 10 bars
•DRAINING AWAY THE WASTE
WATER
Connect the hose
(Fig. 3)
:
— Either, temporarily, over a sink or a bathtub.
— Or permanently to a ventilated U-bend.
If your installation does not have a ventilated U-
bend, check that the connection is not sealed. In
fact, to avoid any waste water flowing back into the
machine, you are strongly recommended to leave
an air gap between the machine’s drain hose and
the drainpipe.
In any case, the drain hose bracket must be placed
at a height of 0.80 m to 1.10 m higher than the base
of the machine.
Important :
Ensure that the drain hose is tied
firmly in place with cord to avoid the bracket
coming loose during draining and causing a
flood.

EN 3 / PREPARING YOUR WASHING AND YOUR MACHINE
•PRÉPARING YOUR WASHING
Important:
Failure to observe the following advice can
cause severe and even irremediable damage
(damage to the drum, torn washing, etc.) and
rescinds the guarantee.
•Sorting your washing
— Ensure that all your washing is machine-
washable: check the labels on your washing (type,
temperature, type of cleaning, etc.).
— Ensure that your coloureds do not run.
— When washing a mixed load, use the washing
programme for the most delicate textiles in the mix.
•Checking your washing
— Empty the pockets and close any zips and press-
studs.
— Remove any curtain hooks or place your curtains
and any small items of laundry (ribbons,
handkerchiefs, etc.) in a net bag. Button up
pillowcases, etc.
— Remove any poorly attached buttons, pins and
hooks.
•
For washer-dryers:
Your washing is composed of different types of
fibres, of different origins: the various items may
therefore behave very differently during drying.
As a general rule, all machine-washable textiles can
be dried in a domestic tumble dryer except for:
— Woollens, silks, net curtains, plasticised fabrics,
tights and nylon stockings
— Chlorofibres (Thermolactyl* for example)
* Registered trademark
— Foam, plastic or rubber-coated items or any items
with a framework that could become detached,
bulky items (duvets, eiderdowns, etc.)
— Washing that has not been spun
— Items washed with chemical products.
Advice:
You must however avoid drying light
textiles and thick cotton textiles at the same time.
The weight of the thick cotton textiles can crease
lighter ones.
It is better to dry textiles not guaranteed colourfast
separately.
•
LOADING YOUR WASHING
Perform these actions in the following order:
•Open the machine
— Check that the machine is switched off.
— Open the machine’s door
(Fig. 5)
.
— Press the button on the front flap
(Fig. 6
➀➁
)
.
•Insert your washing
— For optimum washing performance, place the
previously sorted and folded washing in the drum,
distributing it evenly without heaping it up. Mix large
and small items to obtain optimum spin-drying
without unbalancing.
— Check that no items have fallen down the side the
drum.
•Close the drum
— Close the drum using both hands, ensuring that
the button returns to the correct position.

•LOADING THE WASHING
PRODUCTS
Important:
(Fig. 7)
— The “WASH” container may contain powder or
liquid but liquid detergent should not be used for
programmes WITH
Prewash and/or WITH
“Delayed Start” (depending on the model).
— Concentrated softener should be diluted with
warm water.
— Concentrated bleach must be diluted.
— To fill the product containers correctly, place the
lid fully open.
— Do not exceed the MAX
level.
•
Dispensing the detergent
The amount of detergent to be used depends on
the hardness of the water, the extent to which your
washing is soiled and the amount of washing to be
washed.
Please refer to the dosing instructions on your pack
of detergent.
Warning: in most cases, the detergent
manufacturer’s recommendations apply to the
drum filled to the maximum. Adjust the dosage
correctly to the weight of the washing you have
placed in the machine.
These recommendations will help you to avoid
using too much detergent, which causes foam to
be produced. Too much foam can reduce your
machine’s performance and increase the length of
the washing cycle and the consumption of water.
•
Detergents for woollens and
delicate fabrics
You are recommended to use an appropriate
detergent for washing these fabrics (avoid
placing such detergents directly on the drum
because they have an aggressive action on
the metal).
•
Before your first wash
Before making your first wash, we recommend that
you carry out a “COTTON 90 wash without pre-
wash” and with no washing in the drum, using a 1/2
measure of your usual detergent in order to
eliminate any residues from manufacturing that may
remain in your machine.
•STANDARD COMPARISON

I
f your washing comprises hard-wearing white or
coloured COTTONS.
Important :
When washing coloureds do not exceed a
maximum temperature of 60°C.
NB : During the first few minutes of the programme,
your machine automatically evaluates the washing
load you have introduced and adapts the water
consumption and the length of the programme
accordingly to provide a perfect wash.
The period shown as the remaining time may
therefore vary considerably once this calculation
has been made.
•Coloureds / Synthetics
If your washing comprises of DELICATE
COLOURS, HARD-WEARING SYNTHETICS or
MIXED FIBRES
•Delicates

or if you envisage being absent for a long time after
the washing is finished.
When this function is selected, the cycle interrupts
before the final spin, enabling your washing to soak
in the water to avoid creasing.
NB: When the machine stops with the drum full of
water, display does not count off the time
remaining but remains fixed (including the point).
Then:
— You either wish to drain and spin.
In which case, select the Spin function “ ” using
button then use button to set a suitable spin
speed for your type of washing.

•AUTOMATIC SAFETY SYSTEMS
•
Lid opening safety system:
As soon as washing commences, the lid on your
machine is locked.
When the cycle is finished or when the machine has
stopped with the drum full of water, the lid unlocks.
If you have programmed a "Delayed start", the lid is
not locked until the waiting period is over and the
cycle starts.
If you wish to open the lid during the cycle, press
button briefly and wait 1-2 minutes for the safety
system to unlock the lid.
•Water safety system:
During operation, constant control of the
water prevents any overflows.
•Spin safety system:
Your washing machine is fitted with a safety
system that restricts the spin when poor load
distribution is detected.
In this case, your washing may be
insufficiently spun. Redistribute your washing
in the drum and programme a new spin.
•Anti-foam system:
You machine can detect when too much foam
is being produced during spinning.
At such times, spinning stops and the
machine drains.
The cycle then restarts, adapting the spin
rates and possibly adding an extra rinse.
