•
Fill your machine to the maximum. You
thereby optimise your water and electricity
consumption.
•
Only programme a pre-wash when
absolutely necessary: e.g. for heavily soiled
sports or working clothes, etc.
•
A programme with no pre-wash is sufficient
for slightly or moderately soiled clothes.
•
For slightly soiled clothes, select a short
washing cycle (or an «Express» cycle,
depending on the model).
•
Gauge the amount of detergent according
to the water hardness, the degree of soiling
and the amount of washing. Always follow
the manufacturer’s instructions on the
detergent packets.
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.

Preparing your washing
Connecting your machine
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.
Setting on castors, moving
To move your machine, unclip and slide the
castor release handle from right to left.
Your machine must not still be on its
castors when in operation.
Check that it is plumb and stable to avoid
vibration during spinning.
Levelling Fig. 4 ➀ ➁
- Set your machine on its castors.
- Unscrew the two screws with a straight-
edged screwdriver.
- Level the machine by adjusting the two feet
using a flat spanner or a pair of pliers.
- Set the machine back on the floor by sliding
the castor release lever to check the
chocking.
- If the machine is correctly level, retighten the
two locking screws.
To align your machine with your units, you can
break off the fixing hooks for the hoses.
Take care not to squash the hoses!
If you cannot avoid installing the machine on a
carpeted floor, adjust the feet so as to leave a
large gap for ventilation.
Moving and levelling
Connecting to the cold water supply (Fig. 3)
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).
Water pressure may vary from 10 to 100
N/cm
2
(1 – 10 bars).
Draining away the waste water (Fig. 3)
NB: Ensure that the drain hose is tied firmly in
place with cord, etc. to avoid a possible flood.
In all cases, the height of the drain hose
bracket must be between 0.80m minimum and
1.10m maximum above the floor. The hose
must be fastened to avoid it breaking and its
opening must be above the surface of the
water being drained away.
Connecting to the electrical supply (Fig. 3)
Please refer to the «Characteristics» section.
The socket must be easily accessible but out
of children’s reach.
The installation must conform to the country’s
regulations, in particular as regards earthing
requirements and installation in shower-
rooms. The machine must be earthed.
Never use an extension lead or a multiple
adapter for connecting to the socket.
* We cannot be held responsible for any
incident caused by poor earthing of the
machine or poor electrical installation.
The machine must be switched off (in the
«Stop» position) when connecting to the
electrical supply.
Replacing the power cable:
For your safety, the power cable and,
depending on the model, the complete
electric box and its associated cable must
only be replaced by the manufacturer’s After-
Sales Service or a qualified electrician.

Filling the products’ containers
➀
Pre-wash container (powder )
➁
Wash container (powder or liquid )
The «WASH» container may contain either
powder or liquid but liquid detergents
should not be used with programmes WITH
pre-wash.
➂
Bleach: bleach can be used as a
disinfecting or bleaching agent. Concentrated
bleach must be diluted.
➃
Softener: Concentrated softener
should be diluted with warm water.
Loading the washing products
Follow the dosage instructions on the pack.
Warning: these are generally recommended
for a full load of washing. Adapt the amounts
to suit the condition of your washing.
Too much detergent can cause foam. An
excessive amount of foam reduces your
machine’s performance and increases the
washing time and water consumption.
Do not forget to reduce the amounts when
using concentrated detergents. See the
instructions on the pack.
Reduce the product amounts by 10%
When the water is soft, when your washing is
only slightly soiled and there is only a small
amount. When the washing programme is
short.
Detergents for woollens and delicate
fabrics
Use an appropriate detergent for washing
these textiles (avoid putting the detergent
directly into the drum because some of these
products can attack the metal).

«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:
This message disappears when you
programme a new cycle.
If you do not clean the pump filter
regularly, this will affect your machine’s
performance.
Cleaning the pump filter
:
First of all drain the machine and then
disconnect the plug (Fig. 7)
- Remove the plinth 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.
- Close the stopper, ensuring that it is pushed
in well and reclip it in place.
- Unscrew the stopper for the drain pump’s
filter.
- 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.
- Re-install the plinth in its original position.
When you next wash, check that there are
no leaks during filling.
When there is a risk of frost: Drain the drain
circuit as shown above.
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 (
Fig. 8 ➀
), and lift the
box out (
Fig. 8 ➁
),
- Clean everything with warm water, not
forgetting to wash the removable siphon
(blue). Check that you have replaced it
correctly.
- Then re-insert the whole box, checking that
it is positioned correctly.
Regularly check: The condition of the water
supply and drain hoses. If you notice the
slightest cracking, do not hesitate to replace
them.
Replacing the water supply hose: When
changing, check that the hose is tight and that
there is a seal on both ends.
Removing the drum’s paddle:
If an item of washing falls between the drum
and the side of the tub, empty the drum and
close it.
- Turn the drum until the paddle locks.
- Unscrew the screw between the two
openings (stamped TORX. T20) and remove
it. The paddle will fall into the drum (use a
terry towelling towel to cushion its fall as a
precaution).
- Turn the drum back and open it.
- Recover the fallen item through the holes
revealed by removing the paddle.
- To refit the paddle, slip it from front to back
over its support.
- Close the drum and turn it. Hold the paddle
while you re-insert the screw.
Cleaning the drying filter:
Clean this after every drying operation:
- Remove the filter from its housing (on the
right, near to the opening for the drum) and
pull it towards you.
- Clean it dry, removing any fluff it may have
caught.
- Replace it in its housing, pushing it in fully.
