Installation

! This instruction manual should be kept in a safe place for GB future reference. If the washing machine is sold, transferred

or moved, make sure that the instruction manual remains with the machine so that the new owner is able to familiarise himself/herself with its operation and features.

! Read these instructions carefully: they contain vital information relating to the safe installation and operation of the appliance.

Unpacking and levelling

Unpacking

1.Remove the washing machine from its packaging.

2.Make sure that the washing machine has not been damaged during the transportation process. If it has been damaged, contact the retailer and do not proceed any further with the installation process.

3. Remove the 4 protective screws (used during transportation) and the rubber washer with the corresponding spacer, located on the rear part of the appliance (see figure).

4.Close off the holes using the plastic plugs provided.

5.Keep all the parts in a safe place: you will need them again if the washing machine needs to be moved to another location.

! Packaging materials should not be used as toys for children.

Levelling

1. Install the washing machine on a flat sturdy floor, without resting it up against walls, furniture cabinets or anything else.

2. If the floor is not perfectly level, compensate for any unevenness by tightening or loosening the adjustable front feet (see figure); the angle of inclination, measured in relation to the worktop, must not exceed 2°.

Levelling the machine correctly will provide it with stability, help to avoid vibrations and excessive noise and prevent it from shifting while it is operating. If it is placed on carpet or a rug, adjust the feet in such a way as to allow a sufficient ventilation space underneath the washing machine.

Connecting the electricity and water supplies

Connecting the water inlet hose

1. Connect the supply pipe by screwing it to a cold water tab using a ¾ gas threaded connection (see figure).

Before performing the connection, allow the water to run freely until it is perfectly clear.

2. Connect the inlet hose to the washing machine by screwing it onto the corresponding water inlet of the appliance, which is situated on the top right-hand side of the rear part of the appliance (see figure).

3. Make sure that the hose is not folded over or bent.

!The water pressure at the tap must fall within the values indicated in the Technical details table (see next page).

!If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialised shop or an authorised technician.

!Never use second-hand hoses.

!Use the ones supplied with the machine.

2

Connecting the drain hose

65 - 100 cm

Connect the drain hose, without bending it, to a drainage duct or a wall drain located at a height between 65 and 100 cm from the floor;

alternatively, rest it on the side of a washbasin or bathtub, 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; if it is absolutely necessary, the extension must have the same diameter as the original hose and must not exceed 150 cm in length.

Electrical connections

Before plugging the appliance into the electricity socket, make sure that:

•the socket is earthed and complies with all applicable laws;

•the socket is able to withstand the maximum power load of the appliance as indicated in the Technical data table

(see opposite);

•the power supply voltage falls within the values indicated in the Technical data table (see opposite);

•the socket is compatible with the plug of the washing machine. If this is not the case, replace the socket or the plug.

!The washing machine must not be installed outdoors, even in covered areas. It is extremely dangerous to leave the appliance exposed to rain, storms and other weather conditions.

!When the washing machine has been installed, the electricity socket must be within easy reach.

! Do not use extension cords or multiple sockets.	GB

!The cable should not be bent or compressed.

!The power supply cable must only be replaced by authorised technicians.

The length of cycle shown on the display or in this booklet is an estimation only and is calculated assuming standard working conditions. The actual duration can vary according to factors such as water temperature and pressure, the amount of detergent used, the amount and type of load inserted, load balancing and any wash options selected.

For all Test Institutes:

1)Test wash cycle in compliance with regulation EN 60456: set wash cycle 6 with a temperature of 60°C.

2)Long wash cycle for cottons: set wash cycle 2 with a temperature of 40°C.

3)Short wash cycle for cottons: set wash cycle 3 with a temperature of 40°C.

Specials wash cycles

Mix 15’(wash cycle 5) this wash cycle was designed to wash lightly soiled garments quickly: it lasts just 15 minutes and therefore saves both energy and time. By selecting this wash cycle (5 at 30°C), it is possible to wash different fabrics together (except for wool and silk items), with a maximum load of 1.5 kg.

Sanitizing cycle (wash cycle 6). A high-temperature hygienic wash cycle (over 60°C) which requires the use of bleach. Pour the bleach, the detergent and the additives into the relevant compartments (see paragraph entitled “Detergent dispenser drawer”).

Goodnigt cycle (wash cycle 7). This is a silent cycle which can be run at night, when the electricity prices are lower. The wash cycle is designed for cottons and synthetics. At the end of the cycle the machine stops while there is still water in the drum; to spin and drain the laundry press the START/PAUSE button; alternatively the machine will perform the spin cycle and drain the water automatically after 8 hours.

Eco cycles

The Eco Cycles assure energy saving by eliminating the need of heating water and it’s an advantage both to your energy bill and the environment! These innovative Eco programmes (Cotton , Synthetics and Fast Wash ) are available for various fabrics and different quantity of garment; they have been designed to guarantee a high cleaning action even at low temperature and can be used for lightly to medium soiled loads.

Eco Cycles give the best results thanks to an intensified wash action, water optimization and are carried out in the same average time of a standard cycle.

For the best washing results with Eco Cycles we recommend the usage of a liquid detergent.

	Wool	600 rpm
	Silk	drain only

The spin speed may be lowered, or the spin cycle can be excluded altogether by selecting the symbol .

The washing machine will automatically prevent you from selecting a spin speed which is higher than the maximum speed set for each wash cycle.

Functions

The various wash functions available with this washing machine will help to achieve the desired results, every time. To activate the functions:

1.Press the button corresponding to the desired function;

2.the function is enabled when the corresponding indicator light is illuminated.

Note: If the indicator light flashes rapidly, this signals that this particular function may not be selected in conjunction with the selected wash cycle.

Delay timer

This timer delays the start time of the wash cycle by up to 12 hours.

Press the button repeatedly until the indicator light corresponding to the desired delay time switches on. The fifth time the button is pressed, the function will be disabled.

N.B. Once you have pressed the START/PAUSE button, the delay time may only be decreased if you wish to modify it. ! This option is enabled with all programmes.

Easy iron

By selecting this function, the wash and spin cycles will be modified in order to reduce the formation of creases. At the end of the cycle the washing machine will perform slow rotations of the drum; the EASY IRON and START/PAUSE indicator lights

will flash (orange) and the	phase will remain lit in a fixed manner. To end the cycle, press the START/PAUSE button or the
EASY IRON button.

For the Silk wash cycle, the machine will end the cycle while the laundry is soaking, the EASY IRON and START/PAUSE indicator lights will flash (orange) and the RINSE phase will remain lit in a fixed manner. To drain the water so that the laundry may be removed, press the START/PAUSE button or the EASY IRON button.

! This function may not be used in conjunction with wash cycles 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, B. C.

Extra rinse

By selecting this function, the efficiency of the rinse is increased and optimal detergent removal is guaranteed. It is particularly useful for sensitive skin.

! This function may not be used in conjunction with wash cycles 5, 13, B. C.

Super Wash

Because a greater quantity of water is used in the initial phase of the cycle, and because of the increased cycle duration, this function offers a high-performance wash.

! This function may not be used in conjunction with wash cycles 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, A, B. C.

Detergents and laundry

		Detergent dispenser drawer
	GB
		Good washing results also depend on the correct dose of
		detergent: adding too much detergent will not necessa-
		rily result in a more efficient wash, and may in fact cause
		build up on the inside of your appliance and contribute to
		environmental pollution.
		! Do not use hand washing detergents because these
		create too much foam.

MAX	4
	1
3	2

Open the detergent dispenser drawer and pour in the detergent or washing additive, as follows.

compartment 1: Pre-wash detergent (powder)

Before pouring in the detergent, make sure that extra compartment 4 has been removed.

compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle (powder or liquid)

Liquid detergent should only be poured in immediately prior to the start of the wash cycle.

compartment 3: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)

The fabric softener should not overflow the grid. extra compartment 4: Bleach

Bleach cycle

Bleaching may only be performed in conjunction with wash cycles 2, 3, 6.

Pour the bleach into extra compartment 4; pour the detergent and softener into the corresponding compartments, then select one of the abovementioned wash cycles.

This option is recommended only for very soiled cotton garments.

How much does your laundry weigh?

1 sheet 400-500 g

1 pillow case 150-200 g

1 tablecloth 400-500 g

1 bathrobe 900-1200 g

1 towel 150-250 g

Garments requiring special care

Shirts: use special wash cycle 8 to wash shirts in various fabrics and colours.

It guarantees maximum care is taken of the garments and minimises the formation of creases.

Silk: use special wash cycle 9 to wash all silk garments. We recommend the use of special detergent which has been designed to wash delicate clothes.

Curtains: fold curtains and place them in a pillow case or mesh bag. Use wash cycle 9.

Wool: is the only washing machine manufacturer to have been awarded the prestigious Woolmark Platinum Care endorsement (M.0508) by the Woolmark Company, which means that all woollen garments may be washed in the washing machine, even those which state “hand wash only” on the label. Wash cycle 10 therefore offers complete peace of mind when washing woollen garments in the washing machine (max. load 1,5 kg) and guarantees optimal performance.

Load balancing system

Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations and to distribute the load in a uniform manner, the drum rotates continuously at a speed which is slightly greater than the washing rotation speed. If, after several attempts, the load is not balanced correctly, the machine spins at a reduced spin speed. If the load is excessively unbalanced, the washing machine performs the distribution process instead of spinning. To encourage improved load distribution and balance, we recommend small and large garments are mixed in the load.

Preparing the laundry

•Divide the laundry according to:

-the type of fabric/the symbol on the label

-the colours: separate coloured garments from whites.

•Empty all garment pockets and check the buttons.

•Do not exceed the listed values, which refer to the weight of the laundry when dry:

Durable fabrics: max. 7 kg Synthetic fabrics: max. 3 kg Delicate fabrics: max. 2 kg Wool: max. 1,5 kg

Precautions and tips

! This washing machine was designed and constructed in accordance with international safety regulations. The following information is provided for safety reasons and must therefore be read carefully.

Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer

for information concerning the correct disposal of their GB old appliance.

General safety

•This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

•This appliance was designed for domestic use only.

•Do not touch the machine when barefoot or with wet or damp hands or feet.

•Do not pull on the power supply cable when unplugging the appliance from the electricity socket. Hold the plug and pull.

•Do not open the detergent dispenser drawer while the machine is in operation.

•Do not touch the drained water as it may reach extremely high temperatures.

•Never force the porthole door. This could damage the safety lock mechanism designed to prevent accidental opening.

•If the appliance breaks down, do not under any circumstances access the internal mechanisms in an attempt to repair it yourself.

•Always keep children well away from the appliance while it is operating.

•The door can become quite hot during the wash cycle.

•If the appliance has to be moved, work in a group of two or three people and handle it with the utmost care. Never try to do this alone, because the appliance is very heavy.

•Before loading laundry into the washing machine, make sure the drum is empty.

Disposal

•Disposing of the packaging materials: observe local regulations so that the packaging may be re-used.

•The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment, requires that old household electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be collected separately in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the impact on human health and the environment. The crossed out “wheeled bin” symbol on the product reminds you of your obligation, that when you dispose of the appliance it must be separately collected.

Opening the porthole door manually

In the event that it is not possible to open the porthole door due to a powercut, and if you wish to remove the laundry, proceed as follows:

1. remove the plug from the electrical socket.

2. make sure the water level inside the machine is lower than the door opening; if it is not, remove excess water using the drain hose, collec-

ting it in a bucket as indicated in the figure.

3. using a screwdriver, remove the cover panel on the lower front part of the washing machine (see figure).

4.pull outwards using the tab as indicated in the figure, until the plastic tie-rod is freed from its stop position; pull downwards and open the door at the same time.

5.reposition the panel, making sure the hooks are securely in place before you push it onto the appliance.

9

Care and maintenance

Cutting off the water and electricity GB supplies

•Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle. This will limit wear on the hydraulic system inside the washing machine and help to prevent leaks.

•Unplug the washing machine when cleaning it and during all maintenance work.

Cleaning the pump

The washing machine is fitted with a self-cleaning pump which does not require any maintenance. Sometimes, small items (such as coins or buttons) may fall into the prechamber which protects the pump, situated in its bottom part.

! Make sure the wash cycle has finished and unplug the appliance.

Cleaning the washing machine

The outer parts and rubber components of the appliance can be cleaned using a soft cloth soaked in lukewarm soapy water. Do not use solvents or abrasives.

Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer

1

2

Remove the dispenser by raising it and pulling it out (see figure).

Wash it under running water; this operation should be repeated frequently.

Caring for the door and drum of your appliance

•Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to prevent unpleasant odours from forming.

To access the pre-chamber:

1. using a screwdriver, remove the cover panel on the lower front part of the washing machine (see figure);

2. unscrew the lid by rotating it anti-clockwise (see figure): a little water may trickle out. This is perfectly normal;

3.clean the inside thoroughly;

4.screw the lid back on;

5.reposition the panel, making sure the hooks are securely in place before you push it onto the appliance.

Checking the water inlet hose

Check the inlet hose at least once a year. If there are any cracks, it should be replaced immediately: during the wash cycles, water pressure is very strong and a cracked hose could easily split open.

! Never use second-hand hoses.

! Les pièces d’emballage ne sont pas des jouets pour enfants.

Mise à niveau

1. Installer le lave-linge sur un sol plat et rigide, sans l’appuyer contre des murs, des meubles ou autre.

2. Si le sol n’est pas parfaitement horizontal, visser ou dévisser les pieds de réglage avant (voir figure) pour niveler l’appareil; son angle d’inclinaison, mesuré sur le plan de travail, ne doit pas dépasser 2°.

Une bonne mise à niveau garantit la stabilité de l’appareil et évite qu’il y ait des vibrations, du bruit et des déplacements en cours de fonctionnement. Si la machine est posée sur de la moquette ou un tapis, régler les pieds de manière à ce qu’il y ait suffisamment d’espace pour assurer une bonne ventilation.

Raccordements eau et électricité

Raccordement du tuyau d’arrivée de l’eau

1. Relier le tuyau d’alimentation en le vissant à un robinet d’eau froide à embout fileté 3/4 gaz (voir figure).

Faire couler l’eau jusqu’à ce qu’elle soit limpide et sans impuretés avant de raccorder.

2. Raccorder le tuyau d’arrivée de l’eau au lavelinge en le vissant à la prise d’eau prévue, dans la partie arrière en haut à droite (voir figure).

3.Attention à ce que le tuyau ne soit pas plié ou écrasé.

!La pression de l’eau doit être comprise entre les valeurs indiquées dans le tableau des Caractéristiques techniques

(voir page ci-contre).

!Si la longueur du tuyau d’alimentation ne suffit pas, s’adresser à un magasin spécialisé ou à un technicien agréé.

!N’utiliser que des tuyaux neufs.

!Utiliser ceux qui sont fournis avec l’appareil.

La durée du cycle indiquée sur l’écran ou dans la notice représente une estimation calculée dans des conditions standard. Le temps effectif peut varier en fonction de nombreux facteurs tels que : température et pression de l’eau en entrée, température ambiante, quantité de lessive, quantité et type de charge, équilibrage de la charge, options supplémentaires sélectionnées.

Pour tous les instituts qui effectuent ces tests :

1)Programme de contrôle selon la norme EN 60456: sélectionner le programme 6 et une température de 60°C.

2)Programme coton long: sélectionner le programme 2 et une température de 40°C.

3)Programme coton court: sélectionner le programme 3 et une température de 40°C.

Programmes spéciaux

Mix 15’ (programme 5) spécialement conçu pour laver du linge peu sale en un rien de temps: il ne dure que 15 minutes et permet ainsi de faire des économies d’énergie et de temps. La sélection de ce programme (5 à 30°C) permet de laver ensemble des textiles différents (sauf laine et soie) en ne dépassant pas 1,5 kg de charge.

Anti-bactérien (programme 6). Un programme hautes températures qui prévoit l’utilisation de produits javelisés à des températures supérieures à 60°C. Pour blanchir, verser le produit javelisé, les lessives et les additifs dans les compartiments correspondants (voir paragraphe “Tiroir à produits lessiviels”).

Bonne nuit (programme 7). C’est un cycle silencieux qui permet de faire fonctionner le lave-linge la nuit quand le tarif d’électricité est plus bas. Ce programme est spécialement conçu pour les synthétiques et le coton. A la fin du cycle l’appareil s’arrête, cuve pleine. Pour procéder à l’essorage et à la vidange, appuyer sur la touche MARCHE/PAUSE, à défaut, l’appareil procédera automatiquement au bout de 8 heures à l’essorage et à la vidange de l’eau.

Les cycles de lavage Eco

Les cycles Eco garantissent une économie d’énergie car ils permettent d’obtenir les meilleurs résultats de lavage sans besoin de chauffer l’eau. L’action mécanique (utilisation de l’eau + phases de lavage) est optimisée afin de compenser l’action thermique. L’avantage pour vous : alléger vos factures d’eau et d’électricité. Et un geste de plus pour l’environnement! Vous pouvez utiliser ces nouveaux programmes Eco (Coton , synthétique et Lavage Rapide ) pour tous types de textile et toute charge de linge, peu ou moyennement sale. Pour optimiser les résultats de lavage avec les programmes Eco, nous vous recommandons d’utiliser de la lessive liquide.
