Important warnings
These warnings were written for your own safety and for the safety
of others.
Before using your washing machine for the first time
Respect the “Installation and connection instructions” given below.
Usage
This washing machine was designed for being used by adults. Make
sure that children do not touch it or play with it.
Unpack your washing machine immediately when you receive it, or
ask someone else to unpack it for you. Check its general appearance.
If you have any reserves, write them on the delivery form,
and keep a copy of it.
Your washing machine is designed for normal domestic use. Do not
use it for commercial or industrial purposes or for anything other
than the purposes for which it was designed.
Do not modify or attempt to modify the characteristics of this
washing machine. This would be dangerous for you.
Always pull out the plug and turn off the water supply tap when you
have finished to use the washing machine.
Only wash articles which resist to a machine washing. Follow the
instructions on the label attached to each article.
Do not use your washing machine to wash articles with whalebones,
material without hems or torn material.
Remember to take out coins, safety pins, broaches, screws, etc. before
putting clothes in the washing machine. This type of item can cause
serious damage if they are left in the washing.
Do not put articles in the washing machine if you have just cleaned
them with a stain remover containing gasoline, alcohol,
trichloroethylene, etc. If you use this type of stain remover, wait
until the product has evaporated before putting your laundry in
the drum.

Page 6
User's instructions
Put all small items such as socks, belts, etc., together inside a small cloth
bag or pillow case, so that they cannot get trapped between the drum
and the tank.
Leave the cover and the drum open when you are not using your
washing machine, to air the tank and prevent the formation of mould
and bad smells.
Always unplug the washing machine before cleaning and servicing it.
Use only detergents designed for the washing machine. Follow the
recommendations made by the manufacturer of these products.
If the washing machine is installed in a location subject to frost,
completely drain the washing machine and unscrew the tap supply pipe
and put it down on the floor.
Elements forming part of the packaging (for example plastic films,
pieces of polystyrene) can be dangerous for children. Keep these
packaging elements out of reach of children.
Make sure that pets cannot get into the drum of your washing machine.
Never use the washing machine if the power supply cable, the control
panel, the working surface or the base are damaged so that the inside
of the washing machine is accessible.
Installation
If the electrical installation in your house needs to be modified so that
you can plug your washing machine in, this work must be made by a
qualified electrician.
Please read the instructions in the “Electrical connection” chapter
carefully before plugging in your washing machine.
Ask a qualified plumber to make the water connections for your
washing machine.
After putting your washing machine into place, make sure that the
power supply cable is not trapped under it.
This washing machine is heavy. Take care when you move it.

User's instructions
All packing devices must be removed from the washing machine before
using it. Severe damage may occur to the washing machine or adjacent
furniture if you forget to remove any of the transport protection
packing. Always unplug the washing machine before removing packing.
All repairs to the washing machine must be made by qualified personnel.
Safety devices
Cover: your washing machine is equipped with a safety device preventing
the washing machine cover from closing when the drum doors are open.
It is impossible to start it until the doors are closed. An electromechanical
safety device prevents you from opening the cover while the washing
machine is operating, and for about 2 minutes after the end of the
programme.
Washing motor: a temperature safety device protects the motor against
risks of mechanical overload, or overvoltage or undervoltage.
Heating: heating will not start until the necessary water quantity for
washing has been added into the tank. This safety device is mainly
effective when the water supply is cut off or if you forget to open the
water supply tap.
The anti-foam system: water consumption is very low, due to the
electronic spin cycle with an intermediate spin after the main wash and
three rinse cycles for white and colour programmes. The spin cycle
remains under the control of the foam detection system after the wash
cycle has finished. If necessary, the spin cycle will stop until all foam is
removed.
The unbalanced weight protection system: this safety system keeps the
washing machine stable during intermediate spins or the final spin and
therefore detects any bad distribution of your washing (small load or
tangled washing). It can then remedy this situation.
The drum positioning system: this electronic system ensures that the
doors are in the high position when the wash programme is finished in
order to allow for easier loading and unloading of the laundry.

Protection of the environment
All materials marked with the symbol can be recycled. Place them in a
waste collection bin provided for this purpose (ask your local municipal
services) so that they can be recovered and recycled.
Plastics are identified as follows:
>PE< for polyethylene, for example for the surrounding cover and
envelopes containing the documentation;
>PS< for expanded polystyrene, for instance packing parts practically
free of HCFC.
Cardboard is made from recycled paper and therefore should be discarded
in waste paper collection bins.
We recommend that the following instructions should be followed to save
water and energy, and therefore contribute to protect the environment:
- When possible, use full loads rather than partial loads in your washing
machine (however do not overload the drum).
- Only use programmes with prewash for very dirty washing.
- Adapt the amount of detergent to the water hardness, to the amount
of your washing, and how dirty it is.
If you scrap your old washing machine, make sure that you have put
everything that could be dangerous out of service; cut the power supply
cable flush with the washing machine, and prevent the door latch from
closing.
Automatic adjustment of water consumption
This automatic adjustment system adapts the water consumption as a
function of the quantity and nature of the washing.
If you have an operating problem, refer to the “TROUBLESHOOTING” section.
If you need help after having made all these verifications, you should
normally call the After Sales Service of the company that sold you the
washing machine. If this is impossible (if you have moved, or if the shop in
which you bought your washing machine is closed, etc.), please call the
Consumer Advice Service which will then inform you of the address of an
After Sales Service.

Washing guide
Sorting washing by category
We recommend you to sort your washing by categoryin order to get the
best washing results:
firstly, robust washing that will resist vigorous washing and spinning;
secondly, delicate washing that should be treated with care.
Choose a programme suitable for the most delicate fiber if you want to
wash a mix of different clothes, loads composed of articles made of
different nature of fibers.
Temperatures and symbols
Maintenance labels will guide you in choosing an appropriate washing programme. It is recommended that you read the maintenance
labels while sorting the washing.
Temperature information specified on maintenance labels gives maximum values.
Washing that can be boiled
Cotton and linen textiles marked with this maintenance symbol are not
delicate. They will resist high temperatures and mechanical forces. The
WHITE programme is appropriated for this type of washing.
Coloured washing
Cotton and linen textiles marked with this maintenance symbol are not
delicate. They will resist high mechanical forces. The COLOUREDS programme
is appropriated for this type of washing.
Easy to maintain washing
Textiles such as finished cotton, blended cotton based materials and
synthetic materials marked with this symbol require more gentle mechanical
treatment. The TEXTILE BLENDS programme is appropriated for this type of
washing.
14
Page 15
User's instructions
Delicate washing
Textiles such as layered, micro-fiber, synthetic textiles and net curtains
marked with this maintenance symbol require particularly gentle
treatment. The DELICATE programme is appropriated for this type of
washing.
Wool and particularly delicate washing
Textiles such as woolens, wool blends or silk marked with this label are
particularly sensitive to mechanical forces. The WOOLENS programme
is appropriated for this type of textile.
Woolen clothes marked with the
(wool) label are only machine
washable if the comment “non-fluffing” or “fluff resistant”, and
“machine washable” is added.
Textiles marked with the
(hand washable) label or (do not
wash) label cannot be washed in the washing machine!
Follow the “wash separately” or “wash separately several times”
maintenance instructions.
Washing coloureds
When washed for the first time, coloureds can lose their color and stain
other items of your washing.
We recommend that you carry out the following simple test to make
sure that coloureds will not lose their color:
Choose a part of the washing
that will not be seen
Dampen it using
warm water
Then place it on a
piece of white
material
If the washing
loses its color,
wash it by hand
If the washing does
not lose its color, you
can wash it in the
machine.
Treatment of stains
Stains that might not wash clean (particularly if they are old) should
be treated working inwards from the outside of the stain in order to
avoid forming halos.
Grass. Rub carefully with soap and apply dilute Javel water. Alcohol
at 90°C can give good results for wool.
15
Page 16
User's instructions
Ball point pen - felt pen. Dab with a clean cloth soaked in alcohol at 90°.
Take care not to spread the stain.
Rust. Use an anti-rust product, following the manufacturer’s instructions
carefully.
Scorch marks. If the material is only slightly scorched and if the colors can
resist the treatment, allow to soak in water to which a little Javel water has
been added. Otherwise soak the fabric in hydrogen peroxide (concentration
10%) and allow to stand for 10 to 15 minutes.
Chewing gum. Dilute the chewing gum using a nail varnish remover and
then remove it using a clean cloth. Make sure that the nature of the textile
will resist the nail varnish remover.
Tar-bitumen. Spray a little fresh butter on the stain, allow to stand and
then dab it using turpentine.
Lipstick. Put the stained surface of the fabric on absorbent paper, and then
dampen the back of the material with nail varnish remover, taking care to
change the paper under the stain frequently. Make sure that the remover
will not damage the fabric.
Paint. Do not allow paint to dry. Treat it immediately with the solvent
mentioned on the paint can (water, turpentine, white spirit). Apply soap,
and then rinse.
Candle wax. Scratch the wax off with a non-cutting blade in order to
remove as much wax as possible, and then iron the material using a sheet
of tissue paper between the hot iron and the stained fabric.
Checking the washing
Empty the pockets.
Close zip fasteners and press studs.
Remove hooks from net curtains, or put the net curtains in a cover.
Remove buttons that are not firmly sewn on, and pins and staples.
Put net curtains in a bag, for example pillow case, to protect them.
Sew on or remove all buttons that are only held on by a single thread.

Maximum washing loads depending on the nature of the fibers
The quantity of washing added into the drum must not exceed the
maximum capacity of the machine. This capacity varies depending on
the nature of the textiles.
Wash smaller amounts if your washing is very dirty, and for absorbent
fabrics.
Maximum load
Not all textiles have the same volume and the same water retention
capacity.
That is why the drum may usually be filled:
- completely but without excessive pressure for cotton, linen, blend
washing,
- half full for treated cotton and synthetic fibers,
- about one third full for delicate articles such as net curtains and
woolens.
For blends, fill the drum as you would for the most delicate fibers.
The following is a guide of the average weights of frequently washed
items.
Bath towel ............................................................................................. 1200 g
Hand towel .............................................................................................. 180 g
Large sheet ............................................................................................ 1300 g

Choice of detergent
Manufacturers always mark maximum detergent quantities to be used on
their detergent packages, depending on the amount of washing.
Comply with doses and instructions specified on packages.
Proportioning
The quantity of detergent to be used
depends on the amount of washing to
be washed, the hardness of the water
and how dirty your washing is.
Reduce doses slightly if the water is
soft. Increase doses slightly if the
water is hard, or if the washing is very
dirty or stained.
You can determine the degree of hardness of your water by asking the water
distribution utility in your region or
any other competent authority.

Note: Only use low foam detergents sold in the shops specially for use in
washing machines. Use neutral products for washing woolens.
If you use liquid detergents, put the proportioning ball directly in the drum
and choose a programme without pre-wash. If you dry your washing in a
drier, do not forget to take out the proportioning ball. You can also add
liquid detergent for your washing into the drum directly, provided that you
do not do a pre-wash and you start your washing machine immediately.
Liquid detergents are suitable for low temperatures (namely 30°C and 40°C).
It is recommended that a powder detergent should be used for higher
temperatures from 60°C to 90°C.

Softener
With this distributor, you can automatically add a liquid softener to your last
rinse water. Respect the proportions shown on the flask, depending on the
nature of the softener used (normal or concentrated).
Do not exceed the maximum softener quantity (80 ml) specified for the
product box. An overflow orifice under the softener display window will
inform you if you add too much.
It is recommended that you should add a softener product while washing to
facilitate drying and make your washing softer. It can also help to eliminate
static electricity.

Installing your washing machine
Removing transport packing
Warning!
All parts used to protect internal components of the washing machine
during transport must be removed before you use the washing machine for
the first time. Keep these parts and their attachments in case you need to
transport it again.
1. Remove the outer packaging from the washing ma-
chine. Tilt it backwards, rotate it by a quarter of a turn
on one of its back corners to take it off the transport base.
It will naturally be separated from the washing machine.
2. Open your washing machine cover and take out the
packing that holds the drum in place and the red plastic
wedge. Close the cover again.

5. Make sure that you have removed all these packing
parts from the washing machine, and keep them in a
safe place in case you need them for transport again
(for example if you move).
6. If you want to keep your washing machine in line
with adjacent furniture, you can cut the pipe support
strip at the back of your washing machine. This will
save about 2 to 3 cm in depth.
Put the two side closers into position.

Position
In order to install your washing machine, you will need:
An electricity power supply (see electrical connection).
A water inlet with a 20 x 27 mm connection.
A water drain with a minimum height of 70 cm.
A ventilated room.
Put your washing machine on a hard and flat floor.
Make sure that your washing machine does not touch the wall or any other
elements in the kitchen.
Warning: when your machine is installed on a floor with a carpet, make sure
that the carpet does not block any of the openings near the bottom of the
machine, since they are necessary for ventilation.
The tap, drainage installation and the power outlet must be close to the
machine pipes and the power supply cable.
Do not install the washing machine in a room subject to frost.
Leveling and moving the washing machine
Level the washing machine by screwing the leveling screws in or out.
Precise leveling will prevent vibrations, noise and movements of the machine
during operation.
After leveling, fix the leveling screws in position by tightening the rings
manually or using a screwdriver.
When you want to move your washing machine, lift it on its rollers by pulling
the lever at the bottom of the washing machine from the right towards the
left. Put the lever back into its initial position once you have put the machine
where you want it.

of not less than 3 mm.
This washing machine can only be connected to 230 V single phase power
supply.
Check that the subscriber’s meter and fuses are capable of carrying the
current required by the washing machine, allowing for other electrical
equipment connected at the same time.
Rating of line fuses (one for each phase):
10 A in 230 V single phase.
Important
The installation shall comply with the rules in force.
Use a power outlet with an earthing pin, which shall be connected according
to the rules in force.

Installation and connection instructions
Water connections
The washing machine is provided with safety equipment that prevents
dirty water from flowing backwards into the drinking water supply
pipes, in accordance with national water company specifications.
Therefore there is no need to use any other additional protection in
the installation.
Warning! Washing machines designed to be connected to a cold water
pipe must not be supplied with hot water!
Allowable water pressure
The water pressure shall be not less than 0,5 bar (= 0,05 MPa) and not more
than 8 bar (
= 0,8 MPa).
Install a pressure reducer if the pressure exceeds 8 bar.
If the pressure is below 0,5 bar, unscrew the supply pipe on the
magnetic inlet valve on the washing machine, and remove the flow
regulator (to do this, you will need to remove the filter using pliers,
and then rubber washer under it). Then put the filter back into
position. This work can only be done by a qualified installer.
Water supply
A 1.5 m long supply pipe is provided with the washing machine.
If you need to use a longer supply pipe, only use a complete set of pipes
fitted with installed screw-on end pieces, supplied by our After Sales
Service.
Warning! Never use odd pieces of pipe as extensions!
Sealing rings are supplied either inside the plastic nuts, or with the
accessories supplied with the washing machine. Do not use other
sealing rings!
36
Page 37
Installation and connection instructions
Connect the water inlet hose to a cold water tap
with a 3/4" gas threaded orifice, after having
inserted the rugger sealing washer into the hose
collar. If the water connection is made onto new
pipes or onto pipes which have not been used for
a long time, it is advisable to run off a certain
amount of water before connecting the machine.
You can rotate the other end of the water inlet pipe at the machine end
in any direction. Unscrew the tightening ring slightly, turn the end of
the pipe as you wish and tighten the ring again firmly.
Water drainage
It is preferable to connect the drain pipe to a siphon. However, you
can put it directly in a sink or a basin, or even into a bath.
Only use original pipes as extensions (placed on the floor over a length
of not more than 3 m and at a height of not more than 1 m).
Water drained into a siphon
The end piece fitted on the end of the pipe may
be connected to any type of standard siphon.
Use a clamping collar to keep the end piece in
position on the siphon.
Water drained into a sink
When the drain pipe is placed in a sink or a wash
basin, use the elbow supplied with the washing
machine to prevent it from slipping.
This pipe could be forced out of the sink under the
pressure of the water being drained.
Small sinks should be avoided !
You can avoid this problem by fixing the elbow to
the water tap or to the wall using the orifice provided.
