Page 15

the tub and start the spin phase again.

STUBBORN STAINS

For some stains, water and detergent is not sufficient. We recommend that you remove these stains before you put the items in the appliance. Special stain removers are available. Use the special stain remover that is applicable to the type of stain and fabric.

DETERGENTS AND ADDITIVES

• Only use detergents and additives specially made for washing machines.

• Do not mix different types of detergents.

• To help the environment, do not use more than the correct quantity of detergent.

• Obey the instructions that you find on the on packaging of these products.

• Use the correct products for the type and colour of the fabric, the programme temperature and the level of soil.

ENGLISH 15

• If you use liquid detergents, do not set the prewash phase.

• If your appliance has not the detergent dispenser with the flap device, add the liquid detergents with a dosing ball.

WATER HARDNESS

If the water hardness in your area is high or moderate, we recommend that you use a water softener for washing machines. In areas where the water hardness is soft it is not necessary to use a water softener. To know the water hardness in your area, contact your local water authority. Obey the instructions that you find on the packaging of the products. Equivalent scales measure the water hardness:

• German degrees (°dH).

• French degrees (°TH).

• mmol/l (millimol for each litre - international unit for the hardness of water).

• Clarke degrees.

POSITIONING AND LEVELLING

We recommend that you keep the packaging and the transit bolts for when you move the appliance.

1. Pull the lever from right to left.

2. When the position of the appliance

is right, put back the lever.

3. Install the appliance on a flat hard

floor.

4. Make sure that carpets do not stop

the air circulation below the appliance.

5. Make sure that the appliance does

not touch the wall or other units.

6. Loosen the feet to adjust the level.

Measure with a spirit level. Tighten the pieces A.

7. A correct adjustment of the appli-

ance level prevents the vibration, noise and the movement of the appliance when in operation.

CAUTION!

Do not put cardboard, wood or equivalent materials below the appliance feet to adjust the level.

THE INLET HOSE

ENGLISH 25

• The appliance must be level and stable.

1. Connect the hose to the appliance.

Loose the ring nut to set it in the correct position.

90˚

Do not use an extension hose if the inlet hose is too short. Contact the service centre for the replacement of the inlet hose.

2. Connect the water inlet hose to the

cold water tap with 3/4 thread.

CAUTION!

Make sure that there are no leaks from the couplings.

Page 26

Water-stop device

The inlet hose has a water stop device. This device prevents water leaks in the hose because of its natural ageing. The red sector in the window «A» shows this fault . If this occur, close the water tap and contact the service centre to replace the hose.

WATER DRAINAGE

There are different procedures to connect the drain hose:

With the plastic hose guide.

• On the edge of a sink.

• Make sure that the plastic guide cannot move when the appliance drains. Attach the guide to the water tap or the wall.

• To a stand pipe with vent-hole. Refer to the illustration. Directly into

a drain pipe at a height of not less than 70 cm and not more than 100 cm. The end of the drain hose must always be ventilated , i.e. the inner diameter of the drainpipe must be larger than the external diameter of the drain hose.

Page 27

Without the plastic hose guide.

You can extend the drain hose to maximum 400 mm. Contact the service centre for the other drain hose and the extension.

ENGLISH 27

•To a sink spigot. Refer to the illustration. Put the drain

hose in the spigot and tighten it with a clip. Make sure that the drain hose makes a loop to prevent that remaining particles go in the appliance from the sink.

• Directly to a built-in drain pipe in the room wall and tighten it with a clip.
