EN1 / 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.
— 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
Electrical and Electronic Equipment. Contact
your town hall or your retailer for the used
appliance collection points closest to your
home.
We thank you doing your part to protect the
environment.

•REMOVING THE TRANSPORT
CLAMPS
Important:
Before using the machine in any way, you
must first perform the following operations.
These comprise removing all the components
designed to immobilise the drum in your machine
during transport.
These so-called “releasing” operations are
necessary for your machine to operate correctly
and to conform to the prevailing safety standards.
If they are not carried out completely, this could
cause severe damage to your machine while it is
operating.
—
First of all remove the piece of expanded
polystyrene from under the lid
.
•
Rear transport clamp
(Figure 01)
— Unscrew the 6 screws and using a N
o
. 10
tube spanner or a straight-edged screwdriver.
— Remove the clamp .
— Free the power cable from the plastic holder
clipping it to the transport clamp.
— Plug the holes left by the clamp using the plugs
supplied and re-screw the 4 external screws
into the casing.
•
Front transport clamp
— Unclip the plinth by pressing simultaneously
on the side buttons and pulling them towards
you
(Figure 02

.
— Plug the hole left by the clamp with the
remaining plug
(Figure 02
➃
)
.
— Clip the plinth on again
(Figure 02
➄
)
.
Advice:
We would recommend that you keep all
the locking components since these must be
refitted if you must subsequently transport your
machine again.
Information:
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.

•DRAINING AWAY THE WASTE
WATER
Connect the hose
(Figure 04)
:
— 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.

•TEXTILE MAINTENANCE CODES
Advice:
To assist you in caring for your textiles, they are provided with a label summarising the
information required. This information is expressed as a code using the symbols below :
3 / PREPARING YOUR WASHING AND YOUR MACHINE
29
EN
•TREATING STUBBORN STAINS
Advice:
Stains caused by sweat, blood, fruit, wine
or chocolate generally disappear when using
biological detergents but some stains require
specific treatment before being place din the
machine. Perform a test first of all on a scarcely
visible part of the textile and rinse thoroughly.
If you use a stain remover, always start at the
outside of the stain to avoid any rings.
CANDLEWAX: remove as much of the stain as
possible by scratching it. Then place absorbent
paper on both sides of the textile and iron the stain
to melt the rest of the wax.
COFFEE - TEA: On white cotton: dab the stain with
oxygenated water* before washing normally
- On coloured cotton: dab the stain with a water-
vinegar solution (2 soup spoons of white vinegar to
¼ litre of water) before washing normally
- On woollen: dab the stain with a mixture of equal
parts of alcohol* and white vinegar before washing
the item.
OIL - TAR: use liquid stain remover* or, failing this,
spread a little fresh butter on the stain, leave it for a
while and then dab with turpentine*.
CHEWING GUM: chill it using an ice cube. As soon
as it is hard enough, scrape it off with your
fingernail. Remove any remaining ring with a de-
greasing product*.
CHOCOLATE - FRUIT - FRUIT JUICE - WINE: dab
the stain with a water vinegar solution (2 soup
spoons of white vinegar to ¼ litre of water). Rinse
well and wash normally.
BALLPOINT / FELT TIP PEN: remove as much of
the ink as possible by dabbing the stain with
absorbent paper. Place a clean white cloth under
the stain and dab the stain with another cloth
soaked in white vinegar for synthetic and artificial
fibres or 90° proof alcohol* for other fibres (if this is
suitable for the textile).
GRASS: dab the stain with white vinegar or 90°
proof alcohol* (if this is suitable for the textile) and
then rinse and wash.
GREASE: sprinkle the textile immediately with talc.
Leave to dry and brush gently to remove the talc.
Then dab with a de-greasing product of the mineral
oil* type. Rinse and wash normally.
KETCHUP - TOMATO SAUCE: prepare a solution of
one part glycerene to one part warm water. Soak
the item for an hour; then proceed to wash
normally.
PAINT: do not leave paint stains to dry. Treat them
immediately with the solvent indicated on the paint
tin (water, turpentine*, white spirit*). Soap and then
rinse.
MAKE-UP: place the stained surface of the fabric on
absorbent paper, then dampen the reverse of the
fabric with 90° proof alcohol* (if this is suitable for
the textile) and provided that the stain is not greasy.
Otherwise, opt for a de-greasing product
(trichlorethylene* type).
RUST: for slight stains, cover with salt, squeeze
lemon juice over the salt and leave overnight: then
rinse thoroughly and wash. For heavier stains, use
an anti-rust product, carefully following the
manufacturer's instructions.
BLOOD: soak the stained item as quickly as
possible in cold salty water, then proceed to wash
normally.
•Using stain-removing products
Important:
To avoid any risk of fire or explosion:
(*) If you are using the products recommended in
the remedies above, take care to rinse your
washing thoroughly before placing it in the
machine.
— If you are using commercial stain removers,
follow the manufacturer's instructions very
carefully.
We would remind you that, generally, stains
treated immediately can be easily removed. On
the other hand, old stains that have been ironed or
tumble-dried cannot be removed.

EN 3 / PREPARING YOUR WASHING AND YOUR MACHINE
•PRÉPARING YOUR WASHING
•Sorting your washing
Please refer to the table on the preceding page for
sorting your washing and selecting a suitable
programme for the labels. Whenever you are
washing a mixed load, use the programme for the
most delicate fabric.
When washing new textiles, as a precaution, first
check that the textile does not run: see "Colour
test" below.
•Colour test
When being washed for the first time, coloured
textiles frequently run unless guaranteed to be
colourfast. Before starting the machine, perform the
following test:
— Select an invisible part of the textile
— Dampen it with warm water
— Then press it against a white cloth
- If the textile does not run, you can machine-wash
it normally
- If the textile runs, machine-wash it separately of
by hand.
•Loads of washing
Important:
Do not exceed the following maximum
loads:

Checking 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.
— Empty the pockets.
— Close any zips and press-studs.
— Remove any curtain hooks or place your curtains
in a washing net.
— Remove any poorly attached buttons, pins and
hooks.
— Place small items of laundry (ribbons, pouches,
etc.) in a washing net.
— Turn multi-layer textiles inside out (sleeping bags,
anoraks).
— Turn knitwear, textiles with sewn-on decorations
and trousers inside out .
•
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.

EN3 / PREPARING YOUR WASHING AND YOUR MACHINE
•
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
(Figure 06)
.
— Press the button on the front flap
(Figure 07
➀
➁
)
.
•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
(Figure 07
➂ ➃
)
.
Important:
The coloured section must be visible.
•BEFORE YOUR FIRST WASH
Important:
Before making your first wash, we
recommend that you carry out a “COTTON 60°
c
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.

Important:
— The “WASH” container may contain powder or

“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).
•STANDARD COMPARISON
TESTING PROGRAMME
Cotton - 60°C - 7 kg

•SOME EXAMPLES OF PROGRAMMES
36
EN
•DETAILS OF THE PROGRAMMES
(continued)
•Rinsing only
A separate rinse followed by a choice of:
— Either spin and drain
— Or drain only (”Drip-dry” option)
— Or a stop with the drum full of water..
•Spinning only
This allows a separate spin and drain.
Important :
In the case of ”Rinse only” followed by a
spin or of ”Spin only”, take care to select a
suitable spin speed for the type of washing in the
machine.
•DETAILS OF THE OPTIONS
•Prewash
Specially designed for heavily soiled washing (mud,
blood, etc.).
Important :
Detergent must be placed in the
””
container in the products’ box.
•
Rinse plus
”Especially for sensitive and allergic skin”: adds an
extra rinse to the washing cycle.
•Easy ironing
Makes you washing easier to iron.
This option allows you to wash and spin your washing
more gently without any loss of performance.
•Eco
ECO
The ”Eco” function provides you with perfect washing
results while saving on energy. It reduces the washing
temperature and increases the agitation period.
•Intensive
This function improves washing performance and
handles reputedly stubborn stains by automatically
increasing the temperature in the drum and the
agitation time.
•Delay start
You can delay the start of your programme by 1 to
19 hours to take advantage of off-peak rates or
finish the cycle at a particular time.
To do this, press button and select function ” ”
(Delay start). Then press button land select the
cycle starting time.

the programme may vary during the course of the
cycle:
- If you change the washing temperature (even
during a spin) or if you add or cancel options, the
time will be recalculated and updated on the
display.
- Certain operating variables (for instance: detection
of imbalance or foam, etc.) can also alter the cycle’s
duration.
- If there is a power failure during washing, when the
power is restored, the time displayed may be less
than the actual remaining time. This time will be
updated at the start of the rinsing phase.
•Full drum stop
This is used for textiles that you do not wish to spin

NB:
-
If you turn the programme selector to a
different textile, the progress cycle light which is
lit at the time, and the display flash for a few
seconds to indicate that such an alteration is
prohibited and will not be effected.
-
To change the type of fabric during the cycle, you
must cancel the current programme and then
programme a new cycle.
— However, you can change the washing
temperature at the start of the washing phase for
the same type of textile.
NB: The time remaining will then be adjusted
accordingly.
— You can also change the spin speed throughout
the cycle.
— You can select ”Drip-dry” and ”Full drum stop” up
to the end of rinsing (until the cycle progress light
goes out)
— You can activate option “ ” (Rinse plus) up to
the point that rinsing commences (until cycle
progress light illuminates).
— You can deactivate all the options at any time
during the cycle provided that the particular action
has not already been completed.
•During delayed start:
—
Any kind of programme modification is accepted
during a delayed start’s waiting period.
— You can change the period for a ”delayed start”
period throughout the whole of the waiting period,
right up to the effective cycle starting time.
NB:
-
During this period, selecting a new time cancels
out the previous selection. The new period selected
is accepted based on the last selection made.
- If you wish to cancel ”Delayed start” during this
period, set display to ”0” and then briefly press
button .
The cycle will then start immediately.
— You can only activate option “ ” (Prewash)
during the waiting period for a ”Delayed start”.

(Intensive) during
the waiting period for a ”Delayed start”.
•When the cycle is over:
When the display shows “- 0 -”, you can programme
a new cycle without having to press the “On/Off”
button (Marcha/Paro) again.
To do this, all you need to do is to press one of the
buttons , , or .
The machine is then ready to be
reprogrammed.
•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.

•CLEANING THE PUMP FILTER
•”Filt” message:
After a certain number of cycles, your machine
(depending on the model) will warn you that you
should clean the pump filter.
At the end of the cycle, the display
flashes and then shows:
NB: This message disappears when you
programme a new cycle.
Important :
If you do not clean the pump filter regularly,
this will affect your machine’s performance.
•Cleaning the filter
Important:
First of all drain the machine and then
disconnect the plug.
—
Remove the plinth
(Figure 09
➀
)
and place a floor
cloth and a flat container under the access to the
pump.
—
If your machine is fitted with one, remove the
purge hose.
—
Open the stopper at the end of the hose and let
the water flow into the container
(Figure 09
➁
)
.
—
Close the stopper, ensuring that it is pushed in
well and reclip it in place.
—
Unscrew the stopper for the drain pump’s filter
(Figure 09
➂
)
.
—
Clean the filter. To re-insert it, snap it in by orienting
the small lug on the cylindrical surface upwards and
screwing the stopper in fully
(Figure 09
➃
)
.
—
Re-install the plinth in its original position.
Important:
When you next wash, check that there are
no leaks during filling.
•CLEANING THE MACHINE
—
Only use a sponge, liquid soap and water to clean
the casing, the entry to the drum, the control
panel and the products’ box, etc.
—
Never use: abrasive powders, metal or plastic
sponges, alcohol-based products, thinners, etc.
•CLEANING THE PRODUCTS’ BOX
— Pull the knob forward
(Figure 10
➀
)
, and lift the
box out
(Figure 10
➁
