•SAFETY ADVICE

Important :

This machine is only for domestic use and is designed to

wash, rinse and spin machine-washable textiles.

ou must observe the following instructions. We refuse to accept any liability and the guarantee if you do not observe these recommendations since this could result in damage to equipment or physical injury.

— The machine must only be used in accordance with its normal method of operation in order to avoid damaging your washing and your machine. Only use washing and maintenance products certified for use in domestic washing machines.

— If you pre-treat your washing with stain removers, solvents or, in general, any inflammable or potentially highly explosive product, do not insert them into the machine immediately.

Furthermore, you are also recommended not to use solvents or products in aerosol cans near to your washing machine or any electrical appliance in general in a poorly ventilated room (risk of fire and explosion).

— If any incidents occur and you cannot resolve them using the remedies we recommend (see the section “INCIDENTS THAT MAY ARISE”), call in a qualified professional.

— If you have to open your machine during a cycle (for example, to add or remove washing), depending on the stage the programme is at (during washing essentially), be careful of the temperature inside the machine, which may be very high (risk of severe burns).

— 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.

— Do not let children play with the machine and keep your pets away from it.

— You must immediately make any obsolete machine unusable. Disconnect and cut off the power cable flush with the machine. Close the water tap and remove the hose. Disable the door lock.

— If there is a risk of frost, disconnect the water hose and drain off any water that may remain in the drain hose by placing this as low as possible in a bowl.

•SAVING ENERGY

— Only programme a prewash when it is absolutely necessary: for example, for very dirty sports or working clothes, etc.

— A low temperature programme is sufficient for impeccable washing results when your washing is only slightly or moderately dirty.

— For washing that is only slightly dirty, select a short washing cycle (“Rapid”, “Express” or “Flash”, depending on the model).

— Use the right amount of washing products for the hardness of the water, the amount of washing and how dirty it is and follow the instructions on the detergent packs.

•ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

This appliance’s packaging material is recyclable. Help recycle it and protect the environment by dropping it off in the municipal receptacles provided for this purpose.

Your appliance also contains a great amount of recyclable material. It is marked with this label to indicate the used appliances that should not be mixed with other waste.

•REMOVING THE TRANSPORT CLAMPS

Important :

Before using the machine in any way, you must first perform

the following operations.

These comprise removing all the components designed to immobilise the drum in your machine during transport.

These so-called “releasing” operations are necessary for your machine to operate correctly and to conform to the prevailing safety standards. If they are not carried out completely, this could cause severe damage to your machine while it is operating.

— Remove the washing machine from its plinth (check that the wedge

supporting the motor is not still inserted in the machine) (

Diagram

D3)

— Remove the 4 screws with a screwdriver

(Diagram D4)

— Remove the cross clamp by removing the 2 screws

(Diagram

D5)

using a 10 or 13mm spanner (depending on the model). (Ensure

that you remove the two plastic braces fixed on the cross clamp at the same time as the clamp itself).

— Replace the screws in their initial positions.

Warning:

You must block off the two holes using the hole covers

provided (supplied in the accessories bag) (Diagram D6)

— Remove the drum-tank assembly locking wedge

(Diagram D7)

To do this:

- Lift the lid on the machine

- Remove wedge

- Remove wedge by turning it a quarter turn

- Release the drum doors, locked in the lower position, by pressing down on both eaves simultaneously.

Warning:

Remove the pipe support collars You must block off the holes revealed with the hole covers supplied in the accessories bag (Diagram D8).

Advice:

We would recommend that you keep all the locking components since these must be refitted if you must subsequently transport your machine again.

Information:

Your machine has been scrupulously checked before it left the factory. You may therefore notice a little water still remaining in the tank or the products box.

•MOVING YOUR MACHINE

•Mounting it on castors

If your machine is equipped with removable castors, you will be able to move it quite easily. To mount it on castors, swivel the lever on the bottom of the machine from the right to the far left

(Diagram D9)

Important:

The machine must not rest on the “front” castors while it is

operating: remember to return the lever to its initial position.

•CONNECTING TO THE COLD WATER SUPPLY

Connect the supply hose

(Diagram D10)

: — At one end to the connection on the back of the machine — On the other end to a tap fitted with a threaded end 20mm dia. x 27

(3/4 BSP). If you use a self-piercing tap, the useful aperture must have a minimum

diameter of 6mm. Water supply:

- Minimum water pressure: 0.1 MPa or 1 bar

- Maximum water pressure: 1 MPa or 10 bars

•Replacing a water supply hose

When replacing the hose, ensure that the hose is tightly fastened and that there is a seal at both ends.

•DRAINING AWAY THE WASTE WATER

Fit the hose bracket provided inside your machine to the end of the drain hose and then connect the hose

(Diagram D11)

: — Either, temporarily, over a sink or a bathtub. — Or permanently to a ventilated U-bend.

If your installation does not have a ventilated U-bend, check that the connection is not sealed. In fact, to avoid any waste water flowing back into the machine, you are strongly recommended to leave an air gap between the machine’s drain hose and the drainpipe.

In any case, the drain hose bracket must be placed at a height of 65 to 90cm higher than the base of the machine.

Important:

Ensure that the drain hose is tied firmly in place with cord to

avoid the bracket coming loose during draining and causing a flood.

The waste water can be drained away to the ground provided that the drain hose passes through a point 65 to 90cm higher than the base of the machine

(Diagram D12)

•CONNECTING TO THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY

Important:

For your safety, you must comply with the instructions below.

— Before connecting your machine, you must ensure that your installation’s electrical characteristics match those of your machine (see the details provided on the information plate affixed to the back of the machine). The electrical installation must comply with the prevailing standards and the Electricity Board’s regulations in the country concerned, particularly

as regards Earthing and installation in shower rooms.

We cannot be held responsible for any incident caused by the machine being incorrectly earthed.

Advice:

Advice on the electrical installation of your machine

— Do not use an extension lead, adapter or multiple socket. — Never cut out the Earth wire. — The socket must be readily accessible but out of the reach of children.

If in any doubt, please contact your installer.

Important:

Your machine conforms to European Directives EEC/73/23 (Low Voltage Directive) and EEC/89/336 (Electromagnetic Compatibility) as modified by Directive EEC/93/68..

•INSTALLING YOUR MACHINE

Important:

If you are installing your machine next to another machine or a unit, we recommend that you leave a gap between them to allow for air circulation.

Advice:

We also strongly recommend that you do NOT:

— Install your machine in a damp, poorly ventilated room. — Install your machine in an area where it could be subject to water

splashes. — Install your machine on a carpeted floor.

If you cannot avoid doing this, please take every precaution to avoid blocking air circulation at the bottom of the machine in order to ensure that the internal components are well ventilated.

•Levelling the machine:

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 of 1.5cm over the depth of the machine.

•Adjustable feet

Some machines are fitted with two adjustable feet at the front to enable you to compensate for any unevenness in the floor. Proceed as follows to adjust the feet to level and stabilize your machine:

— Set the machine on its castors (or tilt it slightly backwards if it does not have retractable castors)

— Screw in or unscrew the feet to adjust the height to suit the shape of the floor

(Diagram D13)

— Set the machine back on its feet and check that it is stable.

•TEXTILE MAINTENANCE CODES

— Washing : Never exceed the indicated temperatures — Use of cold diluted bleach possible:

— Iron: Low Medium High — Dry clean: mineral spirit perchlorethylene

all solvents

— NB: A crossed-out code indicates that it is forbidden

•LOADING YOUR WASHING

Perform these actions in the following order:

•Open the machine

— Check that the “On/Off” button is released. — Depending on the model, lift the opening handle or press the push button on the front of the machine.

The lid will open. — Open the drum by pressing the button on the front door.

•Insert your washing

For optimum washing performance, place your washing, preferably sorted and folded, in the drum, distributing it evenly without heaping it up. Mix large and small items to obtain an optimum, well-balanced spin.

•Close the drum

Ensure that the drum is correctly closed.

Important:

Check that the three hooks and the border of the button are

fully visible.

•LOADING THE WASHING PRODUCTS

Important:

(Diagram D14)

— The “WASH” container may contain powder or liquid but liquid detergent should not be used for programmes WITH

Prewash and/or

WITH

“Delayed Start” (depending on the model). — Concentrated softener should be diluted with warm water. — Concentrated bleach must be diluted. — To fill the product containers correctly, place the lid fully open. — Do not exceed the MAX

level.

•Dispensing the detergent

The amount of detergent to be used depends on the hardness of the water, the extent to which your washing is soiled and the amount of washing to be washed.

Please refer to the dosing instructions on your pack of detergent. Warning: in most cases, the detergent manufacturer’s recommendations

apply to the drum filled to the maximum. Adjust the dosage correctly to the weight of the washing you have placed in the machine.

These recommendations will help you to avoid using too much detergent, which causes foam to be produced. Too much foam can reduce your machine’s performance and increase the length of the washing cycle and the consumption of water.

•Detergents for woollens and delicate fabrics

You are recommended to use an appropriate detergent for washing these fabrics (avoid placing such detergents directly on the drum because they have an aggressive action on the metal).

•Before your first wash

Before making your first wash, we recommend that you carry out a “COTTON 90 wash without pre-wash” and with no washing in the drum, using a 1/2 measure of your usual detergent in order to eliminate any residues from manufacturing that may remain in your machine.

•

STANDARD COMPARISON TESTING PROGRAMME

Cotton 60°C - 5 kg - no options – max spin.

To comply with the statement on the label, the tests are conducted in accordance with European Directive 92/75/EEC at nominal capacity, ensuring complete use of the CEI detergent from the start of the washing phase.
