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.

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

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

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

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.

•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.

Service or a qualified electrician.

•MOVING YOUR MACHINE

•Setting on castors

To move your machine, unclip and slide the castor

release handle from right to left

(Fig. 4

➀

)

Important :

Your machine must not still be on its

castors when in operation: remember to return the

lever to its initial position.

•

INSTALLING YOUR MACHINE

Important:

If you are installing your machine next to

another machine or a unit, we recommend that

you leave a gap between them to allow for air

circulation.

Advice:

We also strongly recommend that you

do NOT:

— Install your machine in a damp, poorly ventilated

room.

— Install your machine in an area where it could be

subject to water splashes.

— Install your machine on a carpeted floor.

If you cannot avoid doing this, please take every

precaution to avoid blocking air circulation at the

bottom of the machine in order to ensure that the

internal components are well ventilated.

•

For washer-dryers:

— The appliances must not be installed behind a

lockable door or a sliding door.

•

Levelling the machine

— Set your machine on its castors.

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

as follows:

•Cotton / Whites

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.

- 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

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.

The programme will shut down automatically.

— Or you just wish to drain.

In which case, select the Spin function “ ” and

then use button to display (”Drip-dry”

function).

•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.
