Safety advice
In this manual, you will find the instructions
required for the safety, installation and use of your
machine and the relevant guarantees. Please keep
these and pass them on if you sell the machine.
• Dispose of the packaging and of your worn-out
machine (after rendering it unusable by removing
the hoses, cutting the power cable and breaking
the lock on the lid) in accordance with the
prevailing regulations.
•For 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 or the
cleaning and maintenance products (water
unsuitable for drinking, ingestion of the products,
risk of physical harm, etc.). Keep pets away from
the machine.
• Protect your property and your machine by
checking the condition of the hoses regularly.
Never use solvents, inflammable products,
explosive products or aerosols near to or in your
machine. Use the machine in a well-ventilated,
frost-free area and do not use an extension lead
or a multiple adapter.
• Switch off the power supply to your machine
after use.
• If your machine should break down, call a
qualified washing machine engineer.
• Only use your machine in accordance with the
instructions in this manual. Only use washing and
maintenance products approved for domestic
machines.
For washer-dryers:
Some liquid detergent manufacturers may provide
a plastic device, meant to be placed in the washing
machine drum together with the laundry, for the
gradual release of the liquid detergent. If you are
using this device, please ensure that it is removed
from the drum before you activate the drying cycle
as its plastic material cannot withstand the high
temperature of the drying process.
Environment and savings
• Fill your machine to the maximum. You thereby
optimise your water and electricity consumption.
• Only programme a pre-wash when absolutely
necessary: e.g. for heavily soiled sports or
working clothes, etc.
• A programme with no pre-wash is sufficient for
slightly or moderately soiled clothes.
• For slightly soiled clothes, select a short washing
cycle (or an «Express» cycle, depending on the
model).
• Gauge the amount of detergent according to the
water hardness, the degree of soiling and the amount
of washing. Always follow the manufacturer’s
instructions on the detergent packets.
For washer-dryers:
• If you spin at high speed, little dampness will
remain and you will therefore consume little
electricity. Even synthetic textiles can be spun
before drying.
• Choosing your drying time well also helps to save
water and electricity.
• Avoid wasting water and electricity by not overdrying your laundry.

Releasing your machine
THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONS MUST BE
PERFORMED BEFORE YOU USE THE
MACHINE. FIGs 1 & 2
First of all remove the piece of expanded
polystyrene from under the lid. (Keep the
transport material: you will need it if you
move).
Rear transport clamp FIG. 1 ➀ to ➃
➀ Unscrew the 6 screws using a No. 10 tube
spanner or a straight-edged screwdriver.
➁ Remove the clamp.
➂ Free the power cable from the plastic
holder clipping it to the transport clamp.
➃ Plug the holes left by the clamp using the
plugs supplied and re-screw the 4 external
screws into the casing.
Front transport clamp FIG. 2 ➀ to ➄
➀ Unclip the plinth by pressing simultaneously
on the side knobs and pulling them towards
you.
➁ Unscrew the screw holding the red plastic
«front» clamp.
➂ Remove the front clamp.
➃ Plug the hole left by the clamp with the
remaining plug.
➄ Clip the plinth on again.
Moving and levelling
Setting on castors, moving
To move your machine, unclip and slide the
castor release handle from right to left.
Your machine must not still be on its
castors when in operation.
Check that it is plumb and stable to avoid
vibration during spinning.
Levelling FIG. 6 ➀ ➁
- Set your machine on its castors.
- Unscrew the two screws with a straight-
edged screwdriver.
- Level the machine by adjusting the two feet
using a flat spanner or a pair of pliers.
- Set the machine back on the floor by sliding
the castor release lever to check the
chocking.
- If the machine is correctly level, retighten the
two locking screws.
To align your machine with your units, you can
break off the fixing hooks for the hoses.
Take care not to squash the hoses!
If you cannot avoid installing the machine on a
carpeted floor, adjust the feet so as to leave a
large gap for ventilation.
Connecting your machine
Connecting to the cold water supply (FIG. 5)
Your washing machine can be connected to
any cold water pipe. Connect the supply hose
provided to a threaded 20x27 Ø tap (3/4 BSP)
not forgetting to insert the seal supplied
(depending on the model, the hose may
already be fitted with a seal).
Water pressure may vary from 0.1 to 1 MPa
(1→10 bars). If the pressure is high, please
provide a pressure regulator. Your water
supplier can provide the necessary advice.
Draining away the waste water (FIG. 5)
NB: Ensure that the drain hose is tied firmly in
place with cord, etc. to avoid a possible flood.
In all cases, the height of the drain hose
bracket must be between 0.80 m minimum
and 1.10 m maximum above the floor. The
hose must be fastened to avoid it breaking
and its opening must be above the surface of
the water being drained away.
Connecting to the electrical supply (FIG. 5)
Please refer to the «Characteristics» section.
The socket must be easily accessible but out
of children’s reach.
The installation must conform to the country’s
regulations, in particular as regards earthing
requirements and installation in showerrooms. The machine must be earthed.
Never use an extension lead or a multiple
adapter for connecting to the socket.
* We cannot be held responsible for any
incident caused by poor earthing of the
machine or poor electrical installation.
The machine must be switched off (in the
«Stop» position) when connecting to the
electrical supply.

Preparing your washing
cl
Failure to observe the following advice can
cause severe and even irremediable
damage (damage to the drum, torn
washing, etc.) and rescinds the guarantee.
Sorting your washing
•Ensure that all your washing is machinewashable: check the labels on your washing
(type, temperature, type of cleaning, etc.).
•Ensure that your coloureds do not run.
•When washing a mixed load, use the
washing programme for the most delicate
textiles in the mix.
Checking your washing
•Empty the pockets and close any zips and
press-studs.
•Remove any curtain hooks or place your
curtains and any small items of laundry
(ribbons, handkerchiefs, etc.) in a net bag.
Button up pillowcases, etc.
•Remove any poorly attached buttons, pins
and hooks.
Access to the machine’s drum (FIGs. 3 - 4)
Proceed as follows:
•
•Check that the machine is switched off.
•Open the machine’s door (FIG. 4).
•Press the button on the front flap. (FIG. 3 ➀➁)
Loading your washing
•For optimum washing performance, place the
previously sorted and folded washing in the
drum, distributing it evenly without heaping it
up. Mix large and small items to obtain
optimum spin-drying without unbalancing.
•Check that no items have fallen down the
side the drum.
Closing the drum
•Close the drum using both hands, ensuring
that the button returns to the correct
position. The coloured section must be
visible (FIG. 3 ➂ ➃).
CHECK THAT NO WASHING IS CAUGHT
BETWEEN THE TWO FLAPS.
Checking your washing before drying
(only for washer-dryer models)
Your washing is composed of different types of
fibres, of different origins: the various items may
therefore behave very differently during drying.
As a general rule, all machine-washable textiles
can be dried in a domestic tumble dryer except
for:
- Woollens, silks, net curtains, plasticised
fabrics, tights and nylon stockings
- Chlorofibres (Thermolactyl* for example)
* Registered trademark
- Foam, plastic or rubber-coated items or any
items with a framework that could become
detached, bulky items (duvets, eiderdowns,
etc.)
- Washing that has not been spun
- Items washed with chemical products.
You must however avoid drying light textiles
and thick cotton textiles at the same time.
The weight of the thick cotton textiles can
crease lighter ones.
It is better to dry textiles not guaranteed
colourfast separately.

disinfecting or bleaching agent. Concentrated
bleach must be diluted.
➃
should be diluted with warm water.
Loading the washing products
Follow the dosage instructions on the pack.
Warning: these are generally recommended
for a full load of washing. Adapt the amounts
to suit the condition of your washing.
Bleach: bleach can be used as a
Softener: Concentrated softener
Too much detergent can cause foam. An
excessive amount of foam reduces your
machine’s performance and increases the
washing time and water consumption.
We recommend the use of "low suds" detergent
on your washing machine.
Do not forget to reduce the amounts when
using concentrated detergents. See the
instructions on the pack.
Reduce the product amounts by 10%
When the water is soft, when your washing is
only slightly soiled and there is only a small
amount. When the washing programme is
short.
Detergents for woollens and delicate
fabrics
Use an appropriate detergent for washing
these textiles (avoid putting the detergent
directly into the drum because some of these
products can attack the metal).
