Personalisation

Child safety

This option provides two types of locking :

-if the option is activated after the cycle has started, no changes to the options or program are possible.

The cycle runs and you must deactivate the option to run a new cycle.

-if the option is activated before the cycle has started, the appliance cannot be started.

To activate child safety, turn appliance

on and press “Rinse plus” and “Delay

start” simultaneously until the confirmation symbol comes on in the display.

The appliance memorises the selection of this option.

To deactivate child safety, repeat the process.

Audible signal

When a button is depressed, an audible signal sounds, at the end of a programme or to indicate a fault.

To deactivate, turn appliance on and press “Prewash” and “Rinse plus” simultaneously until the beep sounds.

The signal is only active if alarm sounds.

To reactivate it, repeat the same process.

How to run a wash cycle? Using for the first time

•Ensure the electrical and water connections comply with the installation instructions.

•Remove the polystyrene insert and all other items inside the drum.

•Run an initial wash cycle at 90°C, without any washing but with detergent to clean the water tank.

Daily use

Loading washing

•Open the lid of the appliance.

•Open the drum by depressing the locking button A : The two shutters unlock automatically.

•Load the washing, close the drum and the lid of your washing machine.

A

Before closing the lid of your appliance, ensure that the drum is properly closed :

Proportioning of detergents

Your washing machine has been designed to reduce your water and detergent consumption. You can therefore

how to run a wash cycle 9

reduce the amounts recommended by detergent manufacturers.

Pour the amount of washing powder into the washing and prewash compartments if you have selected the “prewash” option. Pour fabric softener into the compartment if necessary .

If you use another detergent type, refer to the section “detergents and additives” in the washing guide.

Selection of desired programme

You can find the right programme for different types of washing in the programme table (see “Programme table”).

Turn the programme selector to the required programme. The “Start/Pause” pushbutton flashes green.

The symbols which correspond to the different stages of the cycle are displayed ( Prewash, Wash, Rinse, Drain, Spin).

If you turn the programme selector to another programme while a cycle is in progress, the appliance will ignore the new selected programme. “Err” flashes and the “Start/Pause” pushbutton flashes red for a few seconds then the current cycle display reappears.

10 how to run a wash cycle

Selecting the temperature

60

Press the “Temperature” pushbutton repeatedly to increase or decrease the temperature if you want your washing to be washed at a different temperature to the one selected by the appliance. The symbol means a cold wash.

Selecting the spin speed

At the end of the programme, if you have selected “Rinse hold” or “Night silence plus”, you then need to select a “Spin” or “Drain” programme to finish the cycle.

“No spin”

The water is drained without spinning.

“Night silence plus”

The washing machine does not empty the water after the final rinse which prevents the washing from creasing. Because there are no spin cycles, the washing programme is very quiet and can be selected at night. In Cotton and Synthetics programmes, the rinsing cycle uses more water.

	“Rinse hold”
	The washing machine will not drain the
1100	water from the last rinse, so will not
	crease the laundry.

Press the “Spin” pushbutton to change the spin speed, if you want your washing to be spun at a different speed to the one selected by the appliance. You can also select “No spin” *, “Rinse hold” * or “Night silence plus” *. The maximum speeds are :

for Cotton, Jeans, Cotton AA : 1100 rpm,

for Wool, Handwash : 1000 rpm,

for Synthetics, Easy iron, Lingerie, Sport: 900 rpm,

for Delicates, Silk : 700 rpm.

*depending on model

Selecting options

You must select the different options after selecting the programme and before pressing the “Start/Pause” pushbutton (see “Programme table”).

Press the desired button(s) ; the corresponding symbols appear on the dis-

play. If pressed again, the symbols disappear. If one of the options is not compatible with the selected programme, “Err” flashes on the display and the “Start/Pause” pushbutton flashes red.

“Prewash” option

The appliance runs a prewash at 30°C max. The prewash finishes with a short spin cycle for cotton or synthetic programmes, and with an empty cycle for delicates programmes.

“Rinse plus” option

The washing machine will add one or more rinses during the cycle.

This option is recommended for people with sensitive skin and in soft water areas.

•Temporary :

Press the “Rinse plus” pushbutton . The option is only active for the selected programme.

•Permanent :

how to run a wash cycle 11

Hold down the “Prewash” and “Delay start” pushbuttons for a few seconds. The option is permanently activated, even if the appliance is switched off.

To deactivate it, repeat the process.

“Delay start”

30’

This option allows you to delay the start of a wash programme by 30, 60, 90, 2 hours to 20 hours.

The selected time appears on the display for a few seconds.

You can change or cancel the delayed start time at any time before you press the “Start/Pause” pushbutton, by pressing the “Delay start” pushbutton again (0’ indicates immediate start).

If you have already pressed the “Start/ Pause” pushbutton and you want to change or cancel the delayed start, proceed as follows :

•To cancel the delayed start and start

the cycle immediately, press “Start/Pause” and then “Delay start” . Press “Start/Pause” to start the cycle.

•To change the timer delay period, you must go through the “Stop” position and reprogram your cycle.

The lid will be locked during the delayed start time. If you need to open it, you

12 how to run a wash cycle

must first pause the appliance by pressing the “Start/Pause” pushbutton. After closing the lid again, press the “Start/ Pause” pushbutton.

Time Manager

The washing machine will suggest the “Normally soiled laundry” cycle by default. The cycle can be made longer or shorter by using the “Time Manager”

pushbuttons. The level of soiling of the laundry is also indicated.

2.00

It is normal for the programme selector to remain stationary during the cycle. The symbol for the current cycle and the remaining time appear on the display. If a delayed start has been selected, the countdown appears on the display (hour by hour, then 90, and minute by minute from 60 min).

14 washing guide

Washing guide

Sorting and preparing the washing

•Sort washing by type and care label (refer to International symbols section below) : normal wash for tough fabrics which can withstand intense washing and spinning cycles ; delicate wash for delicate fabrics which need to be treated with care. For mixed loads, loads with items of different types of material, choose a programme and a temperature suitable for the most fragile material.

•Wash whites and colours separately : Otherwise, whites will be coloured or will turn grey.

•New coloured clothes often contain excess dye. It is recommended to wash such items separately the first time. Follow care instructions “wash separately” and “wash separately several times”.

•Empty pockets and unfold items.

•Remove loose buttons, pins and fasteners. Close zip fasteners, tie ups laces and straps.

•Turn multilayered fabrics (sleeping bags, anoraks, etc.), coloured headwear, wool and material with printed designs inside out.

•Wash small fragile items (socks, tights, bras, etc) in a net bag.

•Take special care with curtains. Remove hooks and place net curtains in a net or bag.

Wash loads depending on type of materials

The amount of washing placed in the drum must not exceed the maximum capacity of the washing machine. This capacity can vary depending on the type of materials. Reduce the quantity if washing is heavily soiled or made of absorbant material.

Not all textiles have the same volume in the drum or the same water absorption levels. In general, the drum must therefore be filled :

•to full capacity but avoiding excessive pressure on cotton, linen and cotton/linen mixtures,

•to half capacity for processed cottons and synthetic fibres,

•to a third of its capacity for very fragile items such as net curtains and woollens.

For mixed loads, fill drum depending on most fragile materials.

Detergents and additives

Only use detergents and additives designed for use in a washing machine. Refer to manufacturer’s recommendations and also Dispenser box and Using the right amount of detergent sections.

We do not recommend mixing different types of detergents. This may spoil the washing.

The amount of detergent to be used depends on the size of the load, the hardness of the water and how heavily soiled the washing is.

If the water is soft, reduce the amount slightly. If the water contains lime scale (a descaler is recommended) or if the washing is heavily soiled or stained, increase the amount slightly.

You can obtain information on the hardness level of water in your area by contacting your water company or other competent source.

There are no restrictions on the use of powder detergents.

Liquid detergents must not be used when a prewash has been selected. For cycles without prewash, they can be added either via means of a dosing ball, or in the detergent compartment. In either

washing guide 15

case, the wash cycle must be started immediately.

Detergent tablets or doses must be placed in the detergent compartment of your appliance’s dispenser box.

For stain removal before a wash cycle, please refer to manufacturer’s recommended amounts and instructions. If you use a detergent to remove stains, the wash cycle must be started immediately.
