Installation

! This instruction manual should be kept in a safe place for future reference. If the washing machine is sold, given away or moved, please ensure the manual is kept with the machine, so that the new owner may benefit from the advice contained within it. ! Read these instructions carefully: they contain vital information relating to the safe installation and operation of the appliance. ! Inside the pack containing this manual, you will also find the guarantee and all the details necessary for installation.

Unpacking and levelling

Unpacking

1. Once you have removed all the packaging from the washing machine, make sure it has not been damaged during transportation. If it has been damaged, contact the retailer and do not proceed any further with the installation process.

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

3. Close off the holes using the plastic plugs supplied in the pack.

4. Keep all the parts in a safe place; they will be needed again if the washing machine is moved to another location, to prevent the inside of the appliance being damaged.

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

Levelling

1. Place the washing machine on a flat sturdy floor, without resting it up against walls or cabinets.

2. If the floor is uneven, the front feet of the machine may be adjusted until it reaches a horizontal position (the angle of inclination must not exceed 2 degrees).

! If the appliance is levelled correctly, it will be more stable and much less likely to cause vibrations and noise while it is operating, particularly during the spin cycle. ! 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

! Before connecting the inlet hose to the water supply, run the water until it is perfectly clear.

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

2. Connect the inlet hose by screwing it to a cold water tap using a 3/4 gas threaded connection (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 data table

(see next page).

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

! Never use second-hand or old inlet hoses; use the products supplied with the machine.

Connecting the drain hose

65 - 100 cm

Connect the drain hose to drain duct piping or a wall drain located between 65 and 100 cm above the floor, making sure it is not bent at all.

Alternatively, rest the drain hose 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 appliance. If this is not the case, have the socket or the plug replaced.

! Do not use extension cords or multiple sockets.

! The cable should not be bent or compressed.

! The power supply cable and plug must only

be replaced by authorised technicians.

Warning! The company shall not be held responsible in the event that these regulations are not respected.

Care and maintenance

Cutting off the water and electricity supplies

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

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

Cleaning the 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

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

To access the pre-chamber:

1. take off the cover panel on the front of the machine by first pressing it in the centre and then pushing downwards on both sides until you can remove it (see figures);

2. position a container so that it will collect the water which flows out (approximately 1.5 l) (see figure);

3. unscrew the lid by rotating it in an anticlockwise direction (see figure);

4. clean the inside thoroughly;

To pull out the dispenser drawer, open until the first stop point then press lever A to open completely; finally, press one of the levers D and pull the drawer outwards (see picture). Wash it under running water; this procedure should be effected regularly. Be careful to remove any detergent residues from the dispenser drawer socket on the machine. Keep the drawer to the left hand side when replacing it to ensure that it centres the guides and to prevent it from jamming.

Caring for your appliance drum

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

5. screw the lid back on;

6. 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.

Cleaning the pump

The washing machine is fitted with a selfcleaning pump which does not require any maintenance. Sometimes, small items (such as coins or buttons) may fall into the protective pre-chamber at the base of the pump.

Precautions and tips

! The 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.

General safety

• This appliance was designed for domestic use only.

• This appliance can be used by children

aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children

without supervision.

• 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 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.

• If it must be moved, proceed with the help 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.

inside the machine, while preventing potential damage to the atmosphere and to public health.

The crossed-out dustbin is marked on all products

to remind the owner of their obligations regarding separated waste collection.

For more information relating to the correct disposal of

household appliances, owners should contact their local authorities or appliance dealer.

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, collecting it in a bucket as indicated in the figure.

3. remove the cover panel on the lower front part of the washing machine (see overleaf).

4. pull outwards using the tab as indicated in the figure, until the plastic tie-rod is freed from its stop position; pull downwards until you hear a “click”, which indicates that the door is now unlocked.

Load balancing system

Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations before every spin 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.

Disposal

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

• The European Directive 2002/96/EC relating to Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) states that household appliances should not be disposed of using the normal solid urban waste cycle. Exhausted appliances should be collected separately in order to optimise the cost of re-using and recycling the materials

5. open the door; if this is still not possible repeat the procedure.

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

Auto Dose System

Introduction

Thi s wash i ng m a c hi n e is equipped with two tanks: one fo r liqu id det ergent (eith er concentrated or diluted) with a capacity of approx. 5.5 l and another for liquid fabric softener (either concentrated or diluted) with a capacity of approx. 3.5 l (see picture).

! Check the detergent/fabric softener box to verify whether it is diluted or concentrated deterge n t . Th e autom a t i c

dosing syst em intakes the correct amount of detergent and fabric softener from the tanks for each type of load and at the right time, guaranteeing optimal washing results without wastage. The amount of detergent/fabric softener can be modified manually by pressing the DETERGENT and FABRIC SOFTENER buttons (refer to “Modifying pre-set parameters”). If you prefer, the washing machine can also be used in the “traditional” mode, i.e. by adding the detergent in the dispenser; the machine will automatically detect the detergent and will not use the tanks.

Detergent dispenser

“Traditional” mode.

Pull out the detergent dispenser drawer up to the first stop point to add the detergent (either liquid or powder detergent), bleach or other additives (e.g. whiteners) and the pre-wash detergent for washing in the “traditional” mode (refer to “Traditional” mode).

“Auto Dose System” mode.

In order to fill the detergent

and fabric softener tanks, the

detergent dispenser drawer

must be fu l l y extracted :

open the dispenser drawer

up to the first stop point then

press the lever (A) and open

up to the second stop point,

making sure that it is fully

ex t r a c t e d . Avoid moving

the dispenser drawer during filling operations. Once the tanks have been filled (refer to

“Filling the tanks”), the machine can run up to 40 cycles before the detergent finishes (*).

First-time use

Turn the washing machine on by pressing the ON/OFF button. The first wash cycle must be carried out without laundry and by adding detergent in the detergent dispenser (refer to “Traditional” mode); set the programme “ “ (Cotton 90°) without pre-wash and without filling the tanks.

Filling the tanks:

Open the detergent dispenser drawer in the “Auto Dose System” mode (refer to “Detergent dispenser”).

Slowly pour the detergent (B) and fabric softener (C) until th e tan k s are co m p l etely fi lled (see pi c t ure).

To avoid exceeding the maximum capacity, a buzzer (beep) will sound with growing intensity to signal the level and 3 long beeps will sound once the tank is completely full.

Start the wash cycle immediately after filling the tanks to ensure that the dispenser is properly cleaned.The respective icons (for the detergent) and (for the fabric softener) will light up gradually to signal the level.

The filling time depends on the density of the product. Very dense products will take longer to fill.

Close the detergent dispenser drawer only once the compartments are completely empty.

Select the density of the detergent added (either concentrated or liquid) by pressing the appropriate button .

Concentrated

Diluted

The machine will store the selection. If no option is selected, the detergent intake option will be pre-set to “diluted”.

Use button to set the amount of fabric softener that will be automatically extracted by the machine:

1) If concentrated softener is used, we recommend selecting the first level ( with one bar) and, if necessary, stepping up by a single position ( with 2 bars) to increase detergent intake.

2) If diluted softener is used, we recommend setting level 3 ( with 3 bars) and to then either increase/decrease the amount of fabric softener to be extracted.

3) To exclude the use of fabric softener, press until the bars disappear (also refer to “Modifying pre-set parameters”).

(*) with an average load of 4 kg, 40°C Cotton programme, “medium” water hardness

level and dirt level set to 3.

Signals for successive refilling:

Once, at the end of a cycle, the level of detergent/fabric softener falls below the level required for a successive wash cycle, the display will visualise the relative messages “At end of cycle refill detergent” or “At end of cycle refill softener” or “At end of cycle refill tanks”. If the tanks are not filled, the successive wash cycles in Auto Dose System will be carried out without any intake of detergent.

! We suggest adding detergent and fabric softener ONLY

after the machine’s signal.

! NEVER mix two different detergents; always clean out the tank before adding a new type of detergent (refer to “Cleaning cycle set by the user”).

Using the “Auto Dose System”

If the compartments have been filled with detergent and fabric softener, you may start using the machine (refer to “Running a wash cycle”).

Powder detergents for pre-washing and powder additives may only be used in the traditional mode or

using the “Auto Dose System”, by placing the additives directly inside the drum, preferably in conjunction with the “laundry ball”.

Whenever bleaching is required, pour the bleach in the relative compartment (refer to the option “Super Wash”).

Modifying pre-set parameters:

The machine automatically intakes detergent on the basis of the selected programme, wash load and water hardness. However, the amount of detergent/fabric softener used may be modified.

button: press to increase, decrease and to exclude

detergent intake.

Automatic cleaning:

The washing machine carries out an automatic cleaning cycle during the rinse cycle if the level of detergent that remains is insufficient for carrying out a successive wash cycle.

Cleaning cycle set by the user:

Run the cleaning cycle (with empty drum) if you require adding a different product to the previous one or if the tanks have been incorrectly filled (e.g. fabric softener has been erroneously poured into the detergent tank or vice-versa). Press button and hold for 5 sec. to activate cleaning of the detergent tank, button for cleaning the fabric softener tank or button for cleaning both tanks. Keep pressing for a further 3 sec. (the countdown “4-3-2-1” will appear in the top right corner) until “CLEAN-GO” pops up. The cleaning cycle lasts about 40’ if the tanks are initially empty; if not, the cycle will last longer. The icons indicating that the tanks are empty will appear on the display.

“Traditional” mode

Pull out the detergent dispenser drawer up to the first stop point (see picture) then pour the amount of detergent and other additives (e.g. bleach) required for a single wash cycle directly into the dispenser.

1. pre-wash compartment: use powder detergent only.

2. main wash compartment: use powder or liquid detergent. If t h e l a tt e r i s u se d , w e recommend pouring it into the dispenser immediately before starting the washing machine and without running a prewash cycle.

button: press to increase, decrease and to exclude

fabric softener intake.

The level of detergent/fabric softener suggested by the machine is indicated by 3 bars. Less than 3 bars indicates a lower level of detergent/ fabric softener compared to that suggested by the machine, while more than 3 bars indicates a higher level of detergent/fabric softener.

Cleaning the tanks:

Tank cleaning cycles can either be automatic or pre-set by the user.

3. bleach compartment: to be used whenever bleaching is required (refer to “Super Wash” option).

Tablet detergent or the relative “laundry ball” must be added directly inside the drum. In this event, deactivate the “Auto Dose System” (by pressing the button until the relative vertical bars disappear from the display). Do not pour any fabric softener as the appropriate quantity required for each wash cycle will be automatically extracted.

To deactivate fabric softener intake, press the button until the vertical bars disappear from the display.

For wool and silk garments, we recommend using a special detergent which must be poured directly into the detergent dispenser (compartment 2).

Running the wash cycle:

Select the programme and the compatible options on the basis of the required need and type of load.

Detergents and laundry

Detergent

The type and quantity of detergent required depend on the type of fabric you are washing (cotton, wool, silk, etc.), as well as its colour, the washing temperature, the level of soiling and the hardness of the water in the area. Whenever the detergent and fabric softener “Auto Dose System” is activated, this washing machine helps to prevent wastage and to protect the environment, besides guaranteeing optimal washing performance. We recommend the following:

• Use powder detergent for carrying out a pre-wash and

pour in the “traditional” mode.

• Use liquid detergents for delicate cotton garments and for all low-temperature wash cycles.

• When activating the “Auto Dose System” mode, use liquid detergent and fabric softeners only. Never add ultra-

concentrated detergents (e.g. “Gel” type detergents or similar).

• Use gentle liquid detergents for wool and silk garments and pour in the “traditional” mode.

! Never mix two different detergents; always clean out the tank before adding a new type of detergent.

The detergent should be poured into the relevant compartment

- or the dispenser placed directly inside the drum - before the

wash cycle begins. In the latter case, it will not be possible to select the Cottons with pre-wash cycle. ! Use powder detergent for white cotton garments, for pre-washing, and for washing at temperatures over 60°C

! Follow the instructions given on the detergent packaging. ! Do not use hand washing detergents because these

create too much foam.

Preparing the laundry

• Shake out the garments before loading them into the machine.

• Divide the laundry according fabric type (symbol on the washing instruction label) and colour, making sure you separate the coloured garments from the white ones;

• Empty all pockets and check the buttons;

• Do not exceed the values listed in the “Table of wash cycles”, which refer to the weight of the laundry when dry.

How much does your laundry weigh?

1 sheet 400-500 g 1 pillowcase 150-200 g 1 tablecloth 400-500 g 1 bathrobe 900-1200 g 1 towel 150-250 g 1 pair of jeans 400-500 g 1 shirt 150-200 g

Washing recommendations

Whites: use this cycle to wash white clothes. The

programme is designed to maintain the brightness of white clothes over time. Coloureds: use this cycle to wash bright coloured clothes. The programme is designed to maintain bright colours over time. Darks: Use cycle to wash dark-coloured garments. This programme is designed to maintain dark colours over time. We recommend using a liquid detergent for the best results when washing dark-coloured garments.

Shirts: use the special wash cycle to wash shirts in different fabrics and colours to guarantee they receive the best possible care. Duvets: to wash double or single duvets (the weight of which should not exceed 3,5 kg), cushions or clothes padded with goose down such as puffa jackets, use the special wash cycle. We recommend that duvets are placed in the drum with their edges folded inwards (see figure) and that no more than ¾ of the total volume of the drum is used. To achieve the best results, we recommend that a liquid detergent is used and placed inside the detergent dispenser drawer.

Quilts: to wash quilts with a synthetic outer layer, use the bag provided and set the wash cycle to . Bedlinen and towels: Use programme to wash bed linen and towels in one single cycle: it optimises softener performance and helps you save time and energy. We recommend the use of powder detergent Anti Allergy: use programme to remove major allergens such as pollen, mites, cat’s and dog’s hair. Ultradelicates: use programme to wash very delicate garments having strasses or sequins. We recommend turning the garments inside out before washing and placing small items into the special bag for washing delicates. Use liquid detergent on delicate garments for best results. To wash Silk garments and Curtains (these should be folded and placed inside the bag provided), select cycle and then option (in this case it will also be possible to enable the “Extra Rinse” option); the machine will end the cycle while the laundry is soaking and the indicator light will flash. To drain the water so that the laundry may be removed, press the START/PAUSE button or the button. Wool: the wool wash cycle on this Hotpoint-Ariston machine has been tested and approved by The Woolmark Company for washing wool garments labelled as hand washable provided that the garments are washed according to the instructions on the garment label and those issued by the manufacturer of this washing machine. Hotpoint-Ariston is the first washing machine brand to be approved by The Woolmark Company for Apparel Care- Platinum for its washing performance and consumption of energy and water. (M1127)

In UK, Eire, Hong Kong and India the Woolmark trade mark is a Certification trade mark.

Cotton Standard 20°C: ideal for heavily soiled cotton loads. The effective performance levels achieved at cold temperatures, which are comparable to washing at 40°, are guaranteed by a mechanical action which operates at varying speed, with repeated and frequent peaks.

Trouble shooting

Your washing machine could occasionally fail to work. Before contacting the Technical Assistance Centre (see “Assistance”), make sure that the problem cannot be solved easily using the following list.

Problem:

The washing machine does not switch on.

The wash cycle does not start.

The washing machine does not fill with water.

The washing machine door remains locked.

The machine continuously fills with water and drains.

The washing machine does not drain or spin.

The machine vibrates a lot during the spin cycle.

The washing machine leaks.

The icons corresponding to the “Phase in progress” flash rapidly at the same time as the ON/OFF

Possible causes / Solutions:

• The appliance is not plugged into the socket fully, or not enough to make contact.

• There is no power in the house.

• The door is not closed properly.

• The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed.

• The water tap has not been opened.

• A delayed start has been set.

• The water inlet hose is not connected to the tap.

• The hose is bent.

• The water tap has not been opened.

• There is no water supply in the house.

• The pressure is too low.

• The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed.

• If you have selected the function, at the end of the cycle the washing machine drum will rotate slowly; to end the cycle press the START/PAUSE button or the button.

• The drain hose is not fitted at a height between 65 and 100 cm from the floor (see “Installation”).

• The free end of the hose is under water (see “Installation”).

• If the dwelling is on one of the upper floors of a building, there may be problems relating to water drainage, causing the washing machine to fill with water and drain continuously. Special anti-draining valves are available in shops and help to prevent this inconvenience.

• The wall drainage system is not fitted with a breather pipe.

• The wash cycle does not include draining: Some wash cycles require the drain phase to be started manually (see “Wash cycles and options”).

• The “Easy iron” option is enabled: to complete the wash cycle, press the START/PAUSE button (“Wash cycles and options”).

• The drain hose is bent (see Installation).

• The drainage duct is clogged.

• The drum was not unlocked correctly during installation (see “Installation”).

• The machine is not level (see “Installation” ).

• The machine is trapped between cabinets and walls (see “Installation”).

• The load is unbalanced (see “Detergents and laundry”).

• The water inlet hose is not screwed on properly (see “Installation”).

• The detergent dispenser is blocked (to clean it, see “Care and maintenance”).

• The drain hose is not fixed in place properly (see “Installation”).

• Switch off the machine and unplug it, wait for approximately 1 minute and then switch it back on again. If the problem persists, contact the Technical Assistance Service.

indicator light.

There is too much foam.

The washing machine door

• The detergent is not suitable for machine washing (it should display the text “for washing machines” or “hand and machine wash”, or the like).

• Too much detergent was used.

• Perform the manual unlocking procedure (see “Precautions and tips”).

remains locked.

“AutoDose disabled, use the dispenser drawer” appears on the display.

• Indicates malfunctioning of the AutoDose system. Use the machine traditionally, by pouring the detergent and fabric softener required for a wash cycle into the drawer, and contact the Assistance service to establish the cause(s) of the malfunction.

Troubleshooting:

Possible causes / Solutions:

The machine’s washing performance is unsatisfactory.

What happens if the tanks are loaded even if they are already full?

What happens if the dispenser is used in the traditional mode while the tanks are still full?

Can the tanks also be used for powder detergent?

Can powder detergent fall into the tanks?

What happens if the dispenser is not opened properly when filling the tanks?

• The tanks have not been loaded correctly (e.g. fabric softener has been added instead of detergent or vice-versa)

• Two different types of detergent/fabric softener have mixed.

 ! NEVER mix two different detergents; always clean out the tanks before adding

a new type of detergent.

• The “Auto Dose System” is blocked due to prolonged lack of use: carry out a tank cleaning cycle (refer to “Cleaning cycle set by the user”).

• Buzzers (Beep) and visual signals (icons appearing on the display) indicate that the tank is full. If further detergent/fabric softener is added, the excess quantity will fall into the drum and will be washed away with the next cycle.

• The machine will automatically track whether powder or liquid detergent has been loaded in the traditional mode and will not intake any amount of detergent from the tank. Fabric softener can only be used in the “Auto Dose System” mode.

• No, powder detergent can only be used in the traditional mode.

• No, there is a barrier to prevent powder detergent from falling into one of the tanks even if the dispenser is open in the “Auto Dose System” position (i.e. completely open).

• If the dispenser is not completely open, the detergent or fabric softener that has been added will fall into the drum and will be washed away with the next cycle.

What happens if detergent and fabric softener are erroneously inverted?

What happens if different detergents are mixed before the tanks are empty?

! Note: to exit “Demo mode”, switch machine off, press and hold the two “START/PAUSE” and “ON/OFF” buttons

simultaneously for 3 seconds.

• The washing machine will wash with unsatisfactory results, the tanks will have to be emptied and subjected to a manual cleaning cycle.

• The machine will wash normally although we recommend only refilling the tanks after the signal emitted by the machine; do not mix different detergents/fabric softeners.

Assistance

Before calling for Assistance:

• Check whether you can solve the problem by yourself (see “Trouble shooting”);

• Restart the wash cycle to check whether the problem has been solved;

• If it has not, contact the Authorised Technical Assistance Service.

! If the washing machine has been installed or used incorrectly, you will have to pay for the call-out service. ! Always request the assistance of authorised technicians.

Please have the following information to hand:

• the type of problem;

• the appliance model (Mod.);

• the serial number (S/N). The above information can be found on the data plate located on the appliance itself.

pousser contre l’appareil.

Contrôle du tuyau d’arrivée de l’eau

Contrôler le tuyau d’alimentation au moins une fois par an. Procéder à son remplacement en cas de craquèlements et de fissures : car les fortes pressions subies pendant le lavage pourraient provoquer des cassures.

Nettoyage de la pompe

L’appareil est équipé d’une pompe autonettoyante qui n’exige aucune opération d’entretien. Il peut toutefois arriver que de menus objets (pièces de monnaie, boutons) tombent dans la préchambre qui protège la pompe, placée en bas de cette dernière.

Précautions et conseils

! Cet appareil a été conçu et fabriqué conformément aux normes internationales de sécurité. Ces consignes sont fournies pour des raisons de sécurité, il faut les lire attentivement.

Sécurité générale

• Cet appareil est conçu pour un usage domestique.

• Cet appareil peut être utilisé par les enfants à

partir de 8 ans et par les personnes dont les capacités physiques, sensorielles ou mentales sont réduites ou qui ne disposent pas des connaissances suffisantes, à condition qu’ils soient encadrés ou aient été formés de façon appropriée pour l’utilisation de l’appareil de façon sûre et en comprenant les dangers qui y sont liés. Les enfants ne doivent pas jouer avec l’appareil. L’entretien et le nettoyage ne doivent pas être effectués par les enfants sans

surveillance.

• Ne jamais toucher l’appareil si l’on est pieds nus et si les mains sont mouillées ou humides.

• Ne jamais tirer sur le câble pour débrancher la fiche de la prise de courant.

• Ne pas toucher à l’eau de vidange, elle peut atteindre des températures très élevées.

• Ne pas forcer pour ouvrir la porte hublot : le verrouillage de sécurité qui protège contre les ouvertures accidentelles pourrait s’endommager.

• En cas de panne, éviter à tout prix d’accéder aux mécanismes internes pour tenter une réparation.

• Veiller à ce que les enfants ne s’approchent pas de l’appareil pendant son fonctionnement.

• Deux ou trois personnes sont nécessaires pour le déplacer en faisant très attention. Ne jamais le déplacer tout seul car il est très lourd.

• Avant d’introduire le linge, s’assurer que le tambour est bien vide.

des déchets solides urbains ordinaires. Les appareils usagés doivent faire l’objet d’une collecte séparée pour optimiser le taux de récupération et de recyclage des matériaux qui les composent et empêcher tout danger pour la santé et pour l’environnement. Le symbole de la poubelle barrée est appliqué sur tous les produits pour rappeler qu’ils font l’objet d’une collecte sélective.

Pour tout autre renseignement sur la collecte des

électroménagers usés, prière de s’adresser au service public préposé ou au vendeur.

Ouverture manuelle de la porte hublot

A défaut de pouvoir ouvrir la porte hublot à cause d’une panne de courant pour étendre le linge, procéder comme suit :

1. débrancher la fiche de la prise de courant.

2. s’assurer que le niveau de l’eau à l’intérieur de l’appareil se trouve bien au-dessous de l’ouverture du hublot, si ce n’est pas le cas vider l’eau en excès à travers le tuyau de vidange dans un seau comme illustré voir figure.

3. démonter le panneau situé à l’avant du lave-linge (voir

page suivante).

4. se servir de la languette indiquée, tirer vers soi jusqu’à ce que le tirant en plastique se dégage de son cran d’arrêt; tirer ensuite vers le bas jusqu’à ce qu’un “clic” indique que la porte est déverrouillée.

Système d’équilibrage de la charge

Avant tout essorage, pour éviter toute vibration excessive et répartir le linge de façon uniforme, le lave-linge fait tourner le tambour à une vitesse légèrement supérieure à la vitesse de lavage. Si au bout de plusieurs tentatives, la charge n’est toujours pas correctement équilibrée, l’appareil procède à un essorage à une vitesse inférieure à la vitesse normalement prévue. En cas de déséquilibre excessif, le lave-linge préfère procéder à la répartition du linge plutôt qu’à son essorage. Pour une meilleure répartition de la charge et un bon équilibrage, nous conseillons de mélanger de grandes et petites pièces de linge.

Mise au rebut

• Mise au rebut du matériel d’emballage : se conformer aux réglementations locales de manière à ce que les emballages puissent être recyclés.

• La directive européenne 2002/96/CE sur les déchets d’équipements électriques et électroniques prévoit que les électroménagers ne peuvent pas être traités comme

Auto Dose System

Introduction

Ce lave-linge est doté de deux réservoirs : un pour la lessive liquide (concentrée ou diluée) d’une capacité de 5,5 l environ, et l’autre pour l’adoucissant liquide (concentré ou dilué) d’une capacité de 3,5 l environ (voir fugure).

! Vérifier sur le récipient conte-

nant la lessive ou l’adoucissant s’il est dilué ou concentré.

! Le sy stèm e de dos age automatique prélève dans les

réservoirs la quantité idéale de lessive et d’adoucissant pour chaque volume et au moment le plus opportun, pour un lavage optimal sans gaspillage. Il est possible de modifier la quantité de lessive et d’adoucissant manuellement en intervenant sur les boutons LESSIVE et ADOUCISSANT (voir “Modifier les paramètres prédéfinis”). Si nécessaire, la machine peut être utilisée en mode “Traditionnel”. Le produit lessiviel devra donc être versé dans le tiroir. La machine détectera automatiquement sa présence et n’utilisera pas le contenu des réservoirs.

Tiroir à produits lessiviels

Mode “Traditionnel”.

Tirer le tiroir jusqu’au premier palier pour verser le produit lessiviel (liquide ou en poudre), la Javel ou tout autre produit (par ex. : agents blanchissants) et le produit de prélavage en vue d’une utilisation traditionnelle (voir “Utilisation

faut sortir complètement le

tiroir à produits lessiviels :

ouvrir le tiroir jusqu’au premier

cran, ensuite appuyer sur le

petit levier (A) et tirer jusqu’au

deuxième cran en s’assurant

qu’il arrive bien en butée. Ne

pas déplacer le tiroir pendant

le chargement.

Après avoir rempli les réservoirs (voir “Remplir les réservoirs”), l’appareil disposera d’une autonomie de 40 cycles en ce qui concerne les produits lessiviels (*).

Première mise en service

Allumer le lave-linge en appuyant sur la touche ON/OFF. Le premier lavage doit être effectué à vide, avec le produit lessiviel versé directement dans le tiroir prévu à cet effet (voir mode “Traditionnel”) en activant le programme (Coton 90°), sans prélavage et sans remplir les réservoirs.

Remplir les réservoirs

Ouvrir le tiroir à produits lessiviels en mode “Auto Dose” (voir “Tiroir à produits lessiviels”).

Verser lentement la lessive (B) et l’adoucissant (C) de sorte à remplir totalement les réservoirs (voir figures).

Pour ne pas dépasser la quantité maximale, un signal acoustique (bip) d’intensité croissante signalera le niveau atteint jusqu’au remplissage complet du réservoir, lequel sera signalé par 3 bips plus longs.

Commencer le lavage immédiatement après avoir rempli les réservoirs pour assurer le nettoyage du tiroir. À l’écran, les icônes (lessive) et (adoucissant) s’éclairent progressivement pour indiquer la quantité.

Le temps de remplissage dépend de la densité du produit. En présence de produits très denses, le temps de remplissage sera plus long. Fermer le tiroir à produits lessiviels lorsque les réservoirs sont vides.

Sélectionner la densité du produit ajouté (concentré ou dilué) en appuyant sur le bouton correspondant.

Concentrée

Diluée

La machine mémorisera la sélection. Si aucun paramétrage n’est effectué, l’option “Diluée” sera programmée. Utiliser le bouton pour régler la quantité d’adoucissant qui sera automatiquement prélevée dans la machine:

1) Si l’adoucissant est concentré, il est conseillé de sélectionner le premier niveau ( avec une barrette) et de monter éventuellement d’un niveau ( avec 2 barrettes) pour augmenter la dose.

2) Si l’adoucissant est dilué, il est conseillé de sélectionner le 3e niveau ( avec 3 barrettes) et d’augmenter/diminuer la quantité d’adoucissant à doser.

3) Pour ne pas utiliser d’adoucissant, appuyer sur le bouton

pour faire disparaître les barrettes (voir aussi “Modifier les

paramètres prédéfinis”).

(*) pour une charge moyenne de 4 kg, un programme Coton 40°C, une dureté de

l’eau “moyenne” et un degré de salissure réglé sur 3.
