Your washing machine is ready to
operate :
• lift up the lid of the machine
• open the drum with your two hands by pres-
sing the button A and the two flapdoors till they
disengage
• introduce the laundry into the drum ; close the
drum and the lid of the machine
Be careful : before closing the lid of your ma-
chine, make sure that the drum flapdoors are
correctly closed :

a b c d
When the selected programme is over, the machine stops automatically. The timer knob
stops on the position "I".
The "synthetics" programmes end with a rinse hold to avoid the creasing of the laundry
in case it is not taken away from the drum just after the wash.
To end these programmes, you can select a spinning (programme 7) or a draining
(programme 14).
To end the wool programme, we advise you to realize a draining programme.
Be careful : the lid can only be opened 1 or 2 minutes after the machine has stopped.
After each wash :
• press the timer knob ; the control lamp lights off.
• press out the pushbuttons if necessary.
• unplug the machine from the wall socket and turn off the water tap.

laundry, up to 2,5 kg of resistant laundry
(cotton-linen). This button can only be
used with the programmes for cotton
and linen.

this pushbutton enables to save a lot
of energy by limiting the water

knob on "E"). The other characteristics
of the programme remain
unchanged.
• Spinning suppression pushbutton
" " : it enables to suppress the spinning
phases of the programme for
resistant laundry (cotton-linen) when
you wish to wash delicately your
laundry. The programme ends then
with a draining.
The products (see the leaflet "Washing guide")
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for recommended quantities.
If the water is soft, decrease the quantity.
If the water is hard or if the laundry is very soiled or stained, increase the detergent quantity
a little. For information regarding the degree of hardness in your area, enquire with your
local authorities.
Bleach
You may use a bleach agent in all the washing programmes. However, make sure that
the fabric withstands the treatment. Bleach is automatically washed down into the drum.
Pour 1/4 to 1 glass of 12° chl bleach into compartment "c " before switching the machine
on. Make sure that the level of the liquid never exceeds the "MAX" mark.
Softener
Compartment "d" allows automatic addition to the last rinse of a liquid softener.
Follow the quantities recommended on the bottle. Make sure that the level of the liquid
never exceeds the "MAX" mark.
Removal of internal packing
The parts protecting the inner components of the machine during transit are red. They
must all be removed before using your machine for the first time. These parts and their
securing means should be kept in case the machine has to be transported again.
1. Tilt the machine backwards (fig. 1).
2. Unscrew and remove the 2 screws A end the 2 red washers B situated under the
washing machine, then pull on the red plastic ring to take part C out of the machine
(fig. 1).
3. Straighten up the machine.
4. After removing the 4 nuts D, the 4 washers (fig. 2), remove the 4 red plastic sleeves
E : pull the ring, rotating it at the same time leftwards and rightwards (fig. 3).
If you do not manage to take the red socket off, use a wrench and turn it anticlockwise
as shown on the picture (fig. 3 et 4).
5. Unscrew and remove the 4 threaded pins F.
6. Plug the holes left by pins F with plugs G (to be found in the plastic bag with the
instruction manual) taking care to shut down the central part as shown on drawing (fig.
5) and take the polystyrene block (fig. 6) away.
Your washing machine is now ready to be operated.
Electrical connection
Before you plug the appliance into the wall socket, make sure that :
• The supply voltage of the domestic wiring system
does not fluctuate by more than 10% plus or minus
from the value shown on the rating plate.
• The meter, the fuses, the supply line and the wall
socket are all suitable to carry the maximum load
required by the washing machine (2,2 kW).
The existing safety rules call for the appliance to be
connected to an efficient ground wire.
The manufacturer disclaims any liability whatsoever
if this accident prevention rule is not complied with.
This appliance complies with E.E.C. directive n° 87/
308 of 06.1987 relative to radio interference suppression.
Water connection
• The end of the water inlet hose must be connected to a cold water tap having 3/4" gas
thread spout or to a water tap having a quick-coupling connector after having introduced
in the hose ring nut a rubber sealing washer also provided with the machine.
• The curved end of the outlet hose should be inserted into a drain pipe not less than 70 cm
and not more than 1,0 m from floor level.
Make sure that the drain hose is always safely secured so that it will not become loose or fall
down from its position.
The water should drain freely and consequently, the drain hose should not be chocked or
placed in such a way as to obstruct the normal water flow.
If an extension is required, remember that it might cause a malfunction in the drain pump,
particularly if the extension has a length in excess of 1 meter or if the diameter of the extension
is smaller than the diameter of the original drain hose.

Cleaning the drain filter
Subject to technical alterations.
The machine is equipped with a drain filter
located at the front bottom behind a small
flapdoor.
This filter should be cleaned regularly as follows:
• open the flapdoor of the filter compartment
by pressing it inwards with a finger at the
higed side
• turn the filter knob anticlockwise and pull
the filter out
• clean the filter thoroughly
• refit the filter and turn the knob clockwise.
Level the appliance very
carefully by adjusting the le-
velling feet located at the
front of the base.
Then tighten the lock nuts at
the top of the feet, using a
spanner.
To enable the ap-
pliance to be moved
with ease, it is provi-
ded with two fixed
wheels located at the
rear of the base.
Be careful : when the machine is installed on carpeted floor, ensure that the carpet
do not obstruct the openings, located at the base of the machine, which are provided
for ventilation.
