Installation
GB
This instruction manual should be kept in a safe
place for 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.
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 righthand side of the rear part
of the appliance (seefigure).
3. Make sure that the hose is not folded over or bent.
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°.
2
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.
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;
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.
Warning! The company shall not be held responsible
in the event that these regulations are not respected.
The first wash cycle
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);
Once the appliance has been installed, and before
you use it for the first time, run a wash cycle with
detergent and no laundry, using the wash cycle 2.

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.
General safety
This appliance was designed for domestic use only.
The washing machine must only be used by adults, in
accordance with the instructions provided in this manual.
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.
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.
Consumers should contact their local authority or
retailer for information concerning the correct
disposal of their old appliance.
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).
GB
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.
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
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.

Care and maintenance
GB
Cutting off the water and electricity
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 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

To remove the drawer,
press lever (1) and pull
the drawer outwards (2)
(see figure).
Wash it under running
water; this procedure
should be repeated
frequently.
2. unscrew the lid by
rotating it anti-clockwise
(seefigure): 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.
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 pre-chamber which protects the
pump, situated in its bottom part.
Make sure the wash cycle has finished and
unplug the appliance.
To access the pre-chamber:
1. take off the cover

Installation
FR
Conserver ce mode demploi pour pouvoir le
consulter à tout moment. En cas de vente, de
cession ou de déménagement, veiller à ce quil suive
toujours le lave-linge pour que son nouveau
propriétaire soit informé sur son mode de
optionnement et puisse profiter des conseils
correspondants.
Lire attentivement les instructions: elles fournissent
des conseils importants sur linstallation, lutilisation et
la sécurité de lappareil.
Déballage et mise à niveau
Déballage
1. Déballer le lave-linge.
2. Contrôler que le lave-linge na pas été endommagé
pendant le transport. Sil est abîmé, ne pas le
raccorder et contacter le vendeur.
3. Enlever les 4 vis de
protection servant au
transport, le caoutchouc
et la cale, placés dans la
partie arrière (voir figure).
Une bonne mise à niveau garantit la stabilité de
lappareil et évite quil y ait des vibrations, du bruit et
des déplacements en cours de optionnement. Si la
machine est posée sur de la moquette ou un tapis,
régler les pieds de manière à ce quil y ait
suffisamment despace pour assurer une bonne
ventilation.
Raccordements eau et électricité
Raccordement du tuyau darrivée de leau
1. Reliez le tuyau
d'alimentation en le
vissant à un robinet d'eau
froide à embout fileté 3/4
gaz (voir figure).
Faire couler leau jusquà
ce quelle soit limpide et
sans impuretés avant de
raccorder.
2. Raccorder le tuyau
darrivée de leau au
lave-linge en le vissant à
la prise deau prévue,
dans la partie arrière en
haut à droite (voir figure).
4. Boucher les trous à laide des bouchons plastique
fournis.
5. Conserver toutes ces pièces: il faudra les remonter
en cas de transport du lave-linge.
Les pièces demballage ne sont pas des jouets pour
enfants.
Mise à niveau
1. Installer le lave-linge sur un sol plat et rigide, sans
lappuyer contre des murs, des meubles ou autre.
2. Si le sol nest pas
parfaitement horizontal,
visser ou dévisser les
pieds de réglage avant
(voir figure) pour niveler
lappareil; son angle
dinclinaison, mesuré sur
le plan de travail, ne doit
pas dépasser 2°.
3. Attention à ce que le tuyau ne soit pas plié ou
écrasé.
La pression de leau doit être comprise entre les
valeurs indiquées dans le tableau des Caractéristiques
techniques (voir page ci-contre).
Si la longueur du tuyau dalimentation ne suffit pas,
sadresser à un magasin spécialisé ou à un technicien
agréé.
Nutiliser que des tuyaux neufs.
Utiliser ceux qui sont fournis avec lappareil.

évier ou à une baignoire,
dans ce cas, fixer le
support en plastique
fourni avec lappareil au
robinet (voir figure).
Lextrémité libre du tuyau
dévacuation ne doit pas
être plongée dans leau.
Lutilisation dun tuyau de rallonge est absolument
déconseillée mais si on ne peut faire autrement, il faut
absolument quil ait le même diamètre que le tuyau
original et sa longueur ne doit pas dépasser 150 cm.
Branchement électrique
Avant de brancher la fiche dans la prise de courant,
sassurer que:
la prise est bien reliée à la terre et est conforme aux
réglementations en vigueur;
Avant la première mise en service de lappareil,
effectuer un cycle de lavage avec un produit lessiviel
mais sans linge et sélectionner le programme 2.
