, and keep
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 using the washing machine.
Only wash articles that will resist 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 it is left in the washing.
Do not put articles in the washing machine if you have just cleaned
them using 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 washing in
the drum.

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.
Precautions against frost
If your washing machine is exposed to temperatures below 0°C, take the
following precautions :
Close the tap and disconnect the water supply pipe.
Put the end of this pipe and the drain pipe into a bowl on the floor.
Select the «Drain» programme and make sure it works until it is
complete.
Switch the washing machine off by putting the program selector to the
«Off» position or pressing on the «On/Off» pushbutton.
Unplug the washing machine.
Screw in the water inlet pipe and install the drain pipe.
Water that remained in the pipes will then be evacuated, thus preventing
the formation of frost or ice that can damage your washing machine.

User's instructions
Scrapping
All materials marked with the " " symbol can be recycled. Put them in a
waste tip (ask for information from your municipal offices) so that they
can be recovered and recycled.
When you take your washing machine to the tip, make sure that
everything that could be dangerous is out of service ; cut the power
supply cable flush with the surface of your washing machine.
Protection of the environment
We recommend that the following instructions should be followed to
achieve savings in water and energy and therefore to contribute to
protection of the environment:
If possible, use the washing machine at full capacity rather than with
partial loads (however, do not overload the drum).
Only use the Prewash or Soak function for very dirty washing.
Use a detergent dose adapted to the water hardness (see «proportioning
of detergents» section) and to the amount of washing and how dirty it
is.

Washing guide
Sorting washing by category
We recommend that you sort your washing by category, 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 program suitable for the most delicate fiber if you want to wash
a mix of different clothes, loads composed of articles made of different
natures of fibers.
Temperatures and symbols
Maintenance labels will guide you in choosing an appropriate washing program. It is recommended that you read the maintenance labels
while sorting the washing.
Temperature information specified on maintenance labels give 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 program is appropriated for this washing type.
Coloured washing
Cotton and linen textiles marked with this maintenance symbol are not
delicate. They will resist high mechanical forces. The COLOUREDS program
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 program is appropriated for this type of
washing.
17
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 program 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 program is
appropriated for this type of textile.
Woolen clothes marked with the
washable if the comment “non-fluffing” or “fluff resistant”, and
“machine washable” is added.
(wool) label are only machine
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 coloreds
When washed for the first time, coloreds 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 coloreds 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.
18
Grass. Rub carefully with soap and apply dilute Javel water. Alcohol
at 90°C can give good results for wool.
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.

User's instructions
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.
This 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.

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.

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.

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.

38
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!
39
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
F
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.
40
Water drained into a sink
F
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.
