AVTL 62

Instructions for use

English, 1

Français, 13

 Keep this instruction manual in a safe place for

future reference. Should the appliance be sold,

transferred or moved, make sure the instruction

manual accompanies the washing machine to inform

the new owner as to its operation and features.

 Read these instructions carefully: they contain vital

information on installation, use and safety.

Unpacking and levelling

Unpacking

1. Unpack the washing

machine.

2. Check whether the

washing machine has

been damaged during

transport. If this is the

case, do not install it

and contact your

retailer.

3. Remove the four

protective screws and

the rubber washer with

the respective spacer,

situated on the rear of

the appliance (see

figure).

4. Seal the gaps using the plastic plugs provided.

5. Keep all the parts: you will need them again if the

washing machine needs to be moved to another

location.

Warning: should the screws be re-used, make sure

you fasten the shorter ones at the top.

 Packaging materials are not children's toys.

Levelling

Your machine may make a considerable amount of

noise if the two front feet have not been adjusted

correctly.

1. Install the washing

machine on a flat sturdy

floor, without resting it

up against walls,

furniture cabinets or

other.

2. If the floor is not

perfectly level, compen-

sate for any unevenness

by tightening or

loosening the adjustable front feet (see figure); the

angle of inclination, measured according to the

worktop, must not exceed 2°.

Levelling your appliance correctly will provide it with

stability and avoid any vibrations, noise and shifting

during operation. If it is placed on a fitted or loose

carpet, adjust the feet in such a way as to allow

enough room for ventilation beneath the washing

machine.

Electric and water connections

Connecting the water inlet hose

1. Insert seal A into the

end of the inlet hose and

screw the latter onto a

cold water tap with a 3/4

gas threaded mouth (see

figure).

Before making the

connection, allow the

water to run freely until it

is perfectly clear.

2. Connect the other end

of the water inlet hose to

the washing machine,

screwing it onto the

appliance's cold water

inlet, situated on the top

right-hand side on the rear

of the appliance

(see figure).

3. Make sure there are no kinks or bends in the

hose.

 The water pressure at the tap must be within the

values indicated in the Technical details table

(on the next page).

 If the water inlet hose is not long enough, contact

a specialist store or an authorised serviceman.

Installation

Connecting the drain hose

Connect the drain hose,

without bending it, to a

draining duct or a wall

drain situated between

65 and 100 cm from the

floor;

alternatively, place it

over the edge of a

basin, sink or tub,

fastening the duct

supplied to the tap (see

figure). The free end of

the hose should not be

underwater.

 We advise against the use of hose extensions; in

case of absolute need, the extension must have the

same diameter as the original hose and must not

exceed 150 cm in length.

Electric connection

Before plugging the appliance into the mains socket,

make sure that:

 the socket is earthed and in compliance with the

applicable law;

 the socket is able to sustain the appliance's

maximum power load indicated in the Technical

details table (on the right);

 the supply voltage is included within the values i

ndicated on the Technical details table

(on the right);

 the socket is compatible with the washing

machine's plug. If this is not the case, replace the

socket or the plug.

 The washing machine should not be installed in an

outdoor environment, not even when the area is

sheltered, because it may be very dangerous to

leave it exposed to rain and thunderstorms.

 When the washing machine is installed, the main

socket must be within easy reach.

 Do not use extensions or multiple sockets.

 The power supply cable must never be bent or

dangerously compressed.

 The power supply cable must only be replaced by

an authorised serviceman.

Warning! The company denies all liability if and when

these norms are not respected.

The first wash cycle

Once the appliance has been installed, and before

you use it for the first time, run a wash cycle with

detergent and no laundry, setting the 90°C

programme without a pre-wash cycle.

Functions

To enable a function:

1. press the button corresponding to the desired function, according to the table below;

2. the function is enabled when the corresponding button is illuminated.

Note: The rapid flashing of the button indicates that the corresponding function cannot be selected for the

programme set.

Detergent dispenser

Good washing results also depend on the correct

dose of detergent: adding too much detergent won't

necessarily make for a more efficient wash, and may

in fact cause build up

on the interior of your

appliance and even

pollute the

environment.

Open up the

detergent dispenser

and pour in the

detergent and fabric

softener, as follows.

compartment 1: Detergent for pre-wash

compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle

(powder or liquid)

It is recommended that you place liquid detergent

directly into the compartment using the appropriate

dosing cup.

compartment 3: Additives (softener, etc.)

When pouring the softener in compartment 3, avoid

exceeding the "max" level indicated.

The softener is added automatically into the machine

during the last wash. At the end of the wash

programme, some water will be left in compartment

3. This is used for the inlet of denser fabric softeners

into the machine, i.e. to dilute the more

concentrated softeners. Should more than a normal

amount of water remain in compartment 3, this

means the emptying device is blocked. For cleaning

instructions, see page 10.

compartment 4: Bleach

 Do not use hand wash detergent because it may

form too much foam.

Bleach cycle

Traditional bleach should be used on sturdy white

fabrics, and delicate bleach for coloured fabrics,

synthetics and for wool.

When pouring in the bleach, be careful not to exceed

the "max" level indicated on compartment 4 .

To run the bleach cycle alone, pour the bleach into

compartment 4 and set the Extra Rinse option

Preparing your laundry

 Divide your laundry according to:

- the type of fabric/the symbol on the label.

- the colours: separate coloured garments from

whites.

 Empty all pockets and check for loose buttons.

 Do not exceed the weight limits stated below,

which refer to the weight when dry:

Sturdy fabrics: max 5 kg

Synthetic fabrics: max 2.5 kg

Delicate fabrics: max 2 kg

Wool: max 1 kg

How much does your laundry weigh?

1 sheet 400-500 g

1 pillow case 150-200 g

1 tablecloth 400-500 g

1 bathrobe 900-1,200 g

1 towel 150-250 g

Special items

Curtains: fold curtains and place them in a pillow

case or mesh bag. Wash them separately without

exceeding half the appliance load. Use programme

11 which excludes the spin cycle automatically.

Quilted coats and windbreakers: if they are

padded with goose or duck down, they can be

machine-washed. Turn the garments inside out and

load a maximum of 2-3 kg, repeating the rinse cycle

once or twice and using the delicate spin cycle.

Trainers: remove any mud. They can be washed

together with jeans and other tough garments, but

not with whites.

Wool: for best results, use a specific detergent,

taking care not to exceed a load of 1 kg.
