Safety instructions
This machine is designed solely for domestic use, for washing, rinsing and spinning
machine-washable textiles.
You must comply with the following instructions. We will refuse any liability and rescind
the guarantee if these recommendations are not observed, which can cause damage to
equipment or physical injury.
• To avoid damaging your machine and
your washing, your machine must only
be used for the purpose for which it has
been designed. Only use washing and
maintenance products certified as being
for use in domestic washing machines.
• If you treat your washing with stain
removers, solvents and, in general,
any inflammable or potentially
explosive product, do not put them
into the machine immediately (see the
section on "TREATING STUBBORN
STAINS"). Furthermore, you are strongly
recommended not to use solvents or
products in an aerosol can near to your
machine or, any electrical appliance in
general, in a poorly ventilated room (risk
of fire and explosion).
• If an incident should occur, which you
cannot resolve using the remedies
we recommend (see the section on
"INCIDENTS THAT MAY ARISE"), call a
professional service engineer.
•When making a new installation, the
machine must be connected to the water
supply with a new hose. The old hose
must not be re-used. Check the water
and drain hoses regularly: this will help
you avoid water damage.
•Do not allow children to play with the
machine and keep pets away from it.
•Worn-out machines must immediately be
rendered unusable. Unplug the power
cable and cut it off next to the machine.
Shut off the water supply and remove the
hose. Break the lock on the machine's
door.
The environment and tips on saving energy
• Programme a pre-wash only when it is
absolutely necessary: e.g. for sportswear
or very dirty working clothes, etc.
• If your washing is only slightly or
moderately dirty, a low temperature
programme is quite enough to provide
you with a perfect result.
• For only slightly dirty washing, select a
short washing cycle ("Rapid", "Express"
or "FLASH", depending on the model).
the instructions on the detergent pack.
• Both the packaging and the component
parts of your machine use recyclable
materials. Please bear this in mind when
disposing of them.
Please contact your dealer or the
technical Services Department in your
town regarding how to dispose of them
appropriately, in an environmentally
friendly manner.
• Use an amount of detergent to suit the
hardness of the water, the quantity of
washing and how dirty it is. Always follow

Removing the transport clamps from your
machine
YOU MUST PERFORM THE OPERATIONS DESCRIBED BELOW BEFORE
These operations consist of removing all the elements designed to immobilize
your machine's internal components while it is being transported. These so-called
"releasing" operations are required for your machine to operate properly and to comply
with the prevailing safety standards. If you do not perform these operations completely,
this can cause severe damage to your machine while it is operating.
1. Remove the transport clamps before you
start your machine. These are the screws
marked “C” (Figure1).
2. Use a spanner to unscrew the“C” screws
anti-clockwise (Fig. 2) until you can
remove them by hand.
3. Finish removing the “C” screws and their
rubber seals by pulling them towards you
(Fig. 3)
To facilitate this operation, pour a drop
of washing-up liquid on the screws and
release them a little at a time, working
from top to bottom.
USING THE MACHINE
4. You must block up the holes left by the
"C" screws with the covers provided (in
the accessories bag).
Your machine was scrupulously checked
before it left the factory: you may
therefore notice the presence of a small
amount of water in the drum or in the
products' box.
We advise you to keep all the clamping
components because these must be
re- inserted if you subsequently have to
transport your machine.
7
Preparing to install your machine
Your machine's surroundings:
If you are installing your machine next
to another appliance or a unit, we
recommend that you always leave a
gap between them to help the air to
circulate. On the other hand, we would
strongly advise you NOT:
- To install your machine in a damp,
poorly ventilated room.
- To install your machine in a location
where it could be splashed with water.
- To install your machine on a carpeted
floor.
If you cannot avoid this, take every
precaution against obstructing the
air flow to the base of the machine
to ensure good ventilation for the
machine's internal components.
Levelling:
Use a spirit level to check that the floor
is horizontal: maximum slope: 2°, i.e. a
discrepancy of approximately 1cm over
the width and 1.5cm over the depth of the
machine.
safely and quietly, its feet must be fitted.
Your machine is supplied with four
adjustable feet. If your machine is unstable,
- Unscrew the white plastic lock nut,
- Screw or unscrew the adjustable feet until
your machine is perfectly balanced,
- Once the feet have been set, tighten the
bolt to retain your setting.
Adjusting the feet:
To ensure that your machine operates
Installation under a worktop
If you wish to install your washing machine
under a worktop, you must remove the top
of the machine (Fig. 5)
Ensure that your machine is not
connected to the electricity supply.
Unscrew and remove the two screws
holding the top at the back of the machine
Pull the top gently towards you to release it
and then lift and remove it.
8
Connecting your machine
Connecting to the cold water
supply
Connect the water hose (Fig. 6)
- By screwing the elbowed end to the
connection on the back of the machine
- By screwing the other end to a tap
fitted with a threaded end piece diameter
20x27 (3/4 BSP).
If you use a self-piecing tap, the useful
opening must be at least 6mm in diameter.
To avoid any water leaks, remember to fit
the rubber seals in each end and tighten
your connections correctly. The seals are
provided in the accessories bag.
Water supply:
- Minimum water pressure: 0.1 MPa or 1
bar
- Maximum water pressure: 1 MPa or 10
bars
9
Connecting to the drain
Connect the drain hose (Fig. 7)
• Either, temporarily, to a sink or a bath tub
• Or, permanently, to a ventilated U bend. If
your installation does not have a ventilated
U bend, ensure that the connection is not
airtight. In fact, to avoid any flowback of
the waste water into the machine, you are
strongly recommended to leave an air gap
between the drain hose and the waste pipe.
The hose must not be twisted or kinked and
must be held by the hose hook to avoid it
falling to the ground (Fig. 8)
The hose hook must be placed 40 to
100 cm above the base of the machine.
Ensure that it is tied firmly in place to
avoid it coming loose during draining
and causing a flood.
Electricity supply
For your safety, you must comply with
the instructions below.
The electrical installation must comply with
Standard NF C 15-100, particularly as
regards the Earthing requirements. Line
3x2.5 mm2 single-phase 230V connected
to :
- A single-phase 20A 230V-50Hz meter
- A differential circuit breaker and a
separate fuse (10 or 16A, depending on the
model)
- A 2-pin + Earth 10/16A socket
We cannot be held responsible for any
accident caused by improper electrical
installation.
Advice on the electrical installation of your
machine:
• Do not use an extension lead, an adapter
or a multiple-outlet socket.
• Never remove the Earth.
• The socket must be easily accessible but
out of the reach of children.
If in any doubt at all, please contact your
installer.
Your machine complies with
European Directives EEC/73/23 (Low
Voltage Directive) and EEC/89/336
(Electromagnetic Compatibility) as
modified by Directive EEC/93/68.

Sorting your washing
Please refer to the table on the preceding page for sorting your washing and selecting
a suitable programme for the labels. Whenever you are washing a mixed load, use the
programme for the most delicate fabric. When washing new textiles, as a precaution, first
check that the textile does not run: see "Colour test" below.
Colour test
When being washed for the first time,
coloured textiles frequently run unless
guaranteed to be colourfast. Before
starting the machine, perform the
following test :
- Select an invisible part of the textile
- Dampen it with warm water
- Then press it against a white cloth
• If the textile does not run, you can
machine-wash it normally

Treating stubborn stains
Stains caused by sweat, blood, fruit, wine or chocolate generally disappear when using
biological detergents but some stains require specific treatment before being place din
the machine. Perform a test first of all on a scarcely visible part of the textile and rinse
thoroughly. If you use a stain remover, always start at the outside of the stain to avoid any
rings.
GRASS: dab the stain with white vinegar or
90° proof alcohol* (if this is suitable for the
textile) and then rinse and wash
BALLPOINT / FELT TIP PEN: remove as
much of the ink as possible by dabbing the
stain with absorbent paper. Place a clean
white cloth under the stain and dab the
stain with another cloth soaked in white
vinegar for synthetic and artificial fibres or
90° proof alcohol* for other fibres (if this is
suitable for the textile)
RUST: for slight stains, cover with salt,
squeeze lemon juice over the salt and
leave overnight: then rinse thoroughly
and wash. For heavier stains,use an
anti-rust product, carefully following the
manufacturer's instructions.
CHEWING GUM: chill it using an ice cube.
As soon as it is hard enough, scrape it off
with your fingernail. Remove any remaining
ring with a degreasing product* OIL - TAR:
use liquid stain remover* or, failing this,
spread a little fresh butter on the stain,
leave it for a while and then dab with
turpentine*.
PAINT: do not leave paint stains to
dry. Treat them immediately with the
solvent indicated on the paint tin (water,
turpentine*, white spirit*). Soap and then
rinse.
CANDLEWAX: remove as much of the
stain as possible by scratching it. Then
place absorbent paper on both sides of the
textile and iron the stain to melt the rest of
the wax.
MAKE-UP: place the stained surface of the
fabric on absorbent paper, then dampen
the reverse of the fabric with 90° proof
alcohol* (if this is suitable for the textile)
and provided that the stain is not greasy.
Otherwise, opt for a de-greasing product
(trichlorethylene* type).
COFFEE - TEA: On white cotton: dab
the stain with oxygenated water* before
washing normally - On coloured cotton:
dab the stain with a watervinegar solution
(2 soup spoons of white vinegar to 1/4 litre
of water) before washing normally - On
woollen: dab the stain with a mixture of
equal parts of alcohol* and white vinegar
before washing the item
CHOCOLATE - FRUIT - FRUIT JUICE
- WINE: dab the stain with a water vinegar
solution (2 soup spoons of white vinegar
to 1/4˘ litre of water). Rinse well and wash
normally.
GREASE: sprinkle the textile immediately
with talc. Leave to dry and brush gently
to remove the talc. Then dab with a degreasing product of the mineral oil* type.
Rinse and wash normally.
BLOOD: soak the stained item as quickly
as possible in cold salty water, then
proceed to wash normally.
KETCHUP - TOMATO SAUCE: prepare a
solution of one part glycerene to one part
warm water. Soak the item for an hour;
then proceed to wash normally.
USING STAIN-REMOVING PRODUCTS:
To avoid any risk of fire or explosion:
(*) If you are using the products recommended in the remedies above, take care to rinse
your washing thoroughly before placing it in the machine.
- If you are using commercial stain removers, follow the manufacturer's instructions
very carefully.
We would remind you that, generally, stains treated immediately can be easily removed.
On the other hand, old stains that have been ironed or tumble-dried cannot be removed.
13
Loading your washing
Proceed as follows:
Open the machine
• To access the drum, pres the "Door"
button located just above the door.
Insert your washing
For optimum washing performance, sort
and fold your washing and then place it the

Pre-wash compartment (powder)
Softener
Siphon
You can place liquid or powder in the
"WASH" compartment but should never use
liquid detergent for programmes WITH a
Pre-wash and/or WITH "Delayed
Start" (depending on the model).
Concentrated softener must be diluted with
warm water.
To fill the compartments properly, open
the detergent dispensing drawer to its
maximum extent.
Never fill beyond the MAX level.
Dispensing the detergent
The amount of detergent to use depends
on the water hardness, how dirty the
washing is and how much washing there is.
Please refer to the dosage instructions on
the detergent pack.
Warning: The detergent manufacturers'
recommendations are generally based
on filing the drum to the maximum. Adapt
the dosage appropriately for the weight of
washing you are inserting in the machine.
These recommendations will avoid too high
a dose of detergent, which can cause foam.
Too much foam can reduce your machine's
performance and increase the washing
time and the water consumption.
Detergents for woollens and delicate
textiles. Detergents for woollens and
delicate textiles. You are recommended
to sue an appropriate detergent to wash
these types of textiles (avoid putting such
detergents directly into the drum because
some of these products can attack the

Function details
Easy-ironing
Makes it easier to iron your laundry.
This option also enables you to wash and
spin your clothing more delicately while
retaining identical wash performance.
Hold and rinse
This function is for textiles that you do not
want to spin, or if you expect to be away for
a long time after washing nishes.
This function stops the cycle before the
nal spin so your laundry stays soaked in
water to avoid creasing.
When the machine is stopped full
of water, the “Holding at Rinse” icon
ashes and the “Programme stopped”
message is displayed until the cycle
ends.
- If you want to drain and spin.
Turn Selector [1] to “Spin” and use knob [2]
to choose a speed suitable to your laundry load, then push “Start/Pause” [5]. The
screen displays “Spin” and the spin speed,
and the programme nishes automatically.
- if you want only to drain. Turn Selector [1]
to “Spin” and use knob [2] to choose “000”,
then push “Start/Pause” [5]. The screen displays “Drain” and the spin speed, and the
programme nishes automatically.
- if you change the washing temperature
(even during spin), or if you add or cancel
any options, the time will be re-calculated
and updated on the display.
- Some operating problems (unbalanced
load or excess of foam) can alter the cycle
length and thus the displayed end time.
- If the power supply is cut during the washing phase, when the power is restored,
the time displayed can be earlier than the
real end time. This time will be updated at
the start of the rinsing phase.
Load out of balance”: when you wash
very small amounts of laundry it can
ball up in the drum. This prevents your
machine working at its best.

Automatic safety systems
Door opening safety:
Your machine’s door will be locked when
the wash cycle has started.
When the cycle is completed or when the
machine has stopped with the tank full of
water, the door unlocks immediately. If you
have programmed a “Delayed end”, the
door is not locked throughout all the waiting
period preceding the start of the cycle.
If you want to open the door during the
cycle, press briefly on
wait 1 or 2 minutes for the door safety to
unlock.
Depending on the time in the cycle when
you want to open the door, this time can
be longer since there will be a cooling
period added to it.
During this cycle the door safety will not
unlock unless the interior temperature is
below 60°C, and this is to prevent you
from being seriously scolded.
“
” button and
Water safety:
The continuous water level control will prevent any overflow duirng operation.
Spinning safety:
Your washing machine is equipped with
a safety system which can limit spinning
when the load is incorrectly distributed
(this incorrect distribution is called “Out of
balance”). In this case, your wash may be
insufficiently spun. So spread your wash
uniformly around the drum and programme
a new spin.
Anti-foam safety system:
Your washing machine knows how to
detect when too much foam is produced,
during spin cycle, LCD display shows following messages “Excess of detergent” or
“Request of a rinse more.
At that time the spin stops and the machine
is drained.
Then the cycle re-starts, using a more
appropriate spin rate and adding, where
necessary a supplementary rinse.
The End time is changed.
Reduce your doses of detergent during the
following washes.
Tap closed
When you can read on LCD display following messages “Open tap” or “Press Start”,
, this shows that there is a blockage in the
water supply of your machine,
- check if the water supply tap is indeed
open,
- check if the water supply tube is not bent
or kinked.

General maintenance
Cleaning the machine
To clean the casing, the control panel
and all the plastic components in general,
use a sponge or a cloth dampened only
with water and liquid soap.
Never use:
• Abrasive powders
• Plastic or metal sponges
• Alcohol-based products (alcohol, thinner,
etc.)
Maintaining the internal
components
To ensure optimum hygiene, we
recommend that you:
• Leave the door open for a short time after
the wash, (ensure that your children and
pets cannot get into the machine)
•Clean the plastic and rubber components
providing access to the inside
approximately once a month with a
slightly chlorinated cleaning product.
To eliminate any residual traces of this
product, programme a rinse.
• Run a 90°C washing cycle at least once
a month.
Risk of frost
If there is a risk of frost, disconnect the
water hose and empty any water in the
drain hose by placing it as low as possible
in a basin.
Periodic checks
We recommend that you check the
condition of the water and drain hoses. If
you notice the slightest cracking, do not
hesitate to replace them with identical
hoses available from the manufacturer or
his After-Sales Service.
Replacing the water hose
When replacing this, ensure that the
connections are tight and that there is a
rubber seal at both ends.
Replacing the power cable
For your own safety, this operation must be performed
by the manufacturer's After-Sales Service or by a
qualified electrician.
Cleaning the detergent
dispensing drawer
To clean the products' box, pull it towards
you and then remove it from its housing
by pressing on the point indicated on the
siphon (the coloured component). Rinse
the box in water
Fig 10
Cleaning the siphon
Wash the siphon (the coloured component
in the products' box) every 30 to 40 doses
of detergent. Remove the siphon by
holding it by the edges. To avoid the siphon
becoming blocked, rinse any residual
softener away carefully and ensure that it is
refitted perfectly in place before using the
machine.
Fig 11
23
Cleaning the pump filter
This filter collects any small items that you
may have inadvertently left in the clothes
and prevents them from disrupting the
pump's operation.
To clean it, proceed as follows:
When the drum is full (for example,
if there is a power cut), there can be
up to 15 litres of water that must be
drained away: provide a large enough
receptacle.
Take precautions, the water to be
drained may still be scalding hot.
- Remove your machine's power cable from
the socket.
- Open the access hatch by pressing on the
button (Fig. 12).
- Tilt the chute in front of the filter towards
your receptacle,
- To control the flow of water coming out,
slightly unscrew the filter by turning it
Fig 12
anti-clockwise,
- If your receptacle becomes full before you
have drained the machine completely,
screw in the filter, empty your receptacle
and then start again until there is no
more water,
- Then open the filter by turning it anticlockwise and empty the small amount
of water from the filter's lid (30ml
maximum).
- Remove any residue left in the filter's
housing,
- Clean the filter,
- Replace the filter in its housing and lock it
in place by turning it clockwise.
- Refit the chute
- Close the filter access hatch.
Ensure that the filter is correctly
repositioned to avoid any water leaks.
Cleaning the filters
on the water supply
The filters at the point where the water
hose is connected to your machine and
to the tap prevent dirt and small objects
entering your machine. We recommend
that you clean them from time to time.
Proceed as follows to clean them:
- First of all, close the water tap,
- Unscrew the part of the hose that is
connected to the back of your machine,
- Remove the filter from the back of your
machine using a pair of pliers and wash it
under the tap,
- Refit the filter and the hose,
- Unscrew the hose connected to the water
tap,
- Remove the filter with your hands and
clean it under the tap
- Refit the filter and the hose,

Incidents that may arise
Some incidents may occur while you are using your machine;
these are the points to check.
Incidents Possible causes / remedies
The cycle does not start • You have forgotten to press the "Start/Pause" button .
Heavy vibrations during
spinning
• There is no electricity to the machine:
- Check that the plug is correctly connected.
- Check the circuit breaker and the fuses.
• The water tap is closed.
• The machine's door is not closed properly.
• The transport clamps have not been correctly removed from
your machine:- See the section on "REMOVING THE
TRANSPORT CLAMPS FROM YOUR MACHINE"
• The floor is not horizontal.

The machine refuses to
accept the programme
• You have selected a programme without a spin, for
example: "No spin".
• The spin safety system has detected that the washing is
poorly distributed in the drum:- Redistribute the items
better and programme a new spin.
First of all remove the plug from the socket or remove the
relevant fuse and close the water tap.
While your machine is operating, constant control of the
water level avoids any water overflowing. If, despite this,
water is leaking from the machine, it may be that:
• The drain hose hook is poorly positioned in the drain pipe.
• The connections for the water hose on the machine and
at the tap are not tight:- Check that the seals are in place
and that the connections are tight.
• You have programmed a "Hold and RInse".
• The pump filter is blocked:- Clean it (see the section on
"CLEANING THE FILTERS" for how to do this).
• The drain hose is kinked or squashed
• The programme has not finished yet.The door remains
locked throughout the whole of the programme.
• The "Child safety" system is active, (see the section on
"PROGRAMMING")
• You have interrupted a cycle while it is running. Cancel it
(see the section on "PROGRAMMING")
In general, whenever you notice an anomaly, it is advisable to stop the machine, unplug
the power cable and close the water tap.
