IMPORTANT INFORMATION

It is important that this instruction book be kept with the appliance for future reference. If you sell or
give the appliance away, make sure that the book is passed to the new owners so that they can
familiarise themselves with its operation and relevant warnings.

The following warnings are provided in the interests of overall safety. You must read them carefully
before installing or using the appliance.

■

Installation

■

When unpacking the appliance, check that it
is not damaged. If in doubt, do not use it and

INSTALLATION

Unpacking

All transit bolts and packing must be
removed before using the appliance.

You are advised to keep all transit devices so that
they can be refitted if the machine ever has to be
transported again.

1. Using a spanner, unscrew and remove the rear
right-hand bolt and lay the machine on its
back, taking care not to squash the hoses.
This can be avoided by placing one of the
corner packing pieces between the machine
and the floor.

2. Remove the polystyrene block from the bottom
of the machine and release the two plastic
bags by removing the adhesive strip.

3. Carefully remove the right-hand bag (1) then
the left-hand bag (2) by pulling them towards
the centre of the machine.

Water inlet

Connect the water inlet hose to a tap with a 3/4"
thread after having inserted the small filter “A”
supplied with the machine.

The other end of the inlet hose which connects to
the machine can be turned in any direction.
Simply loosen the fitting, rotate the hose and
retighten the fitting, making sure there are no
water leaks.

The inlet hose must not be lengthened. If it is too
short and you do not wish to move the tap, you
will have to purchase a new, longer hose
specially designed for this type of use.

Water drainage

The end of the drain hose can be positioned in
three ways:

Hooked over the edge of a sink using the
plastic hose guide supplied with the machine.

In this case, make sure the end cannot come
unhooked when the machine is emptying.
This could be done by tying it to the tap with a
piece of string or attaching it to the wall.

In a sink drain pipe branch. This branch must
be above the trap so that the bend is at least
60 cm above the ground.

P0003

P0022

A

P0021

Directly into a drain pipe at a height of not less
than 60 cm and not more than 90 cm.
The end of the drain hose must always be
ventilated, i.e. the inside diameter of the drain
pipe must be larger than the outside diameter of
the drain hose.

The drain hose must not be kinked. Run it along
the floor; only the part near the drainage point
must be raised.

Electrical connection

This machine is designed to operate on a 220­230 V, single-phase, 50 Hz supply.

Check that your domestic electrical installation
can take the maximum load required (2.2 kW),
also taking into account any other appliances in
use.

Washing hints

delicate fabrics and woollens: drum no more

than one third full

Sorting the laundry

Follow the wash code symbols on each garment
label and the manufacturer’s washing
instructions.

Sort the laundry as follows:
whites, coloureds, synthetics, delicates, woollens.

Temperatures
90°

for normally soiled white cottons and
linen (e.g. tea cloths, towels,
tablecloths, sheets...)

60° for normally soiled, colour fast

garments (e.g. shirts, night dresses,

pyjamas....) in linen, cotton or

synthetic fibres and for lightly soiled
white cotton (e.g. underwear).

(cold)

30°-40°

for delicate items (e.g. net curtains),
mixed laundry including synthetic
fibres and woollens bearing the label
«pure new wool, machine washable,
non-shrink»

Washing a maximum load makes the most
efficient use of water and energy.

For heavily soiled laundry, reduce the load size.

Laundry weights

The following weights are indicative:
bathrobe 1200 g

napkin 100 g
quilt cover 700 g
sheet 500 g
pillow case 200 g
tablecloth 250 g
towelling towel 200 g
tea cloth 100 g
night dress 200 g
ladies’ briefs 100 g
man’s work shirt 600 g
man’s shirt 200 g
man’s pyjamas 500 g
blouse 100 g
men’s underpants 100 g

Removing stains

Before loading the laundry

Never wash whites and coloureds together.
Whites may lose their “whiteness” in the wash.

New coloured items may run in the first wash;
they should therefore be washed separately the
first time.

Make sure that no metal objects are left in the
laundry (e.g. hair clips, safety pins, pins).

Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners, hooks
and poppers. Tie any belts or long tapes.

Remove persistent stains before washing. Rub
particularly soiled areas with a special detergent
or detergent paste.

Treat curtains with special care. Remove hooks
or tie them up in a bag or net.

Maximum loads

Recommended loads are indicated in the
programme charts.

General rules:

cotton, linen: drum full but not too tightly packed
synthetics: drum no more than half full

Stubborn stains may not be removed by just
water and detergent. It is therefore advisable to
treat them prior to washing.

Blood: treat fresh stains with cold water. For
dried stains, soak overnight in water with a
special detergent then rub in the soap and water.

Oil based paint: moisten with benzine stain
remover, lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab
the stain; treat several times.

Dried grease stains: moisten with turpentine,
lay the garment on a soft surface and dab the
stain with the fingertips and a cotton cloth.

Rust: oxalic acid dissolved in hot water or a rust
removing product used cold. Be careful with rust
stains which are not recent since the cellulose
structure will already have been damaged and
the fabric tends to hole.

Mould stains: treat with bleach, rinse well
(whites and fast coloureds only).

Grass: soap lightly and treat with bleach (whites
and fast coloureds only).

Ball point pen and glue: moisten with acetone
(*), lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the
stain.

28

G

S

Lipstick: moisten with acetone as above, then

treat stains with methylated spirits. Remove any
residual marks from white fabrics with bleach.

Red wine: soak in water and detergent, rinse
and treat with acetic or citric acid, then rinse.
Treat any residual marks with bleach.

Ink: depending on the type of ink, moisten the
fabric first with acetone (*), then with acetic acid;
treat any residual marks on white fabrics with
bleach and then rinse thoroughly.

Tar stains: first treat with stain remover,
methylated spirits or benzine, then rub with
detergent paste.

(*) do not use acetone on artificial silk

Detergents and additives

Good washing results also depend on the choice
of detergent and use of the correct quantities to
avoid waste and protect the environment.
Although biodegradable, detergents contain
substances which, in large quantities, can upset
the delicate balance of nature.

The choice of detergent will depend on the type
of fabric (delicates, woollens, cottons, etc.), the
colour, washing temperature and degree of
soiling.

All commonly available washing machine
detergents may be used in this appliance:

– powder detergents for all types of fabric,
– powder detergents for delicate fabrics (60°C

max) and woollens,

– liquid detergents, preferably for low

temperature wash programmes (60°C max) for
all types of fabric, or special for woollens only.

The detergent and any additives must be placed
in the appropriate compartments of the dispenser
drawer before starting the wash programme.

If using concentrated powder or liquid detergents,
a programme without prewash must be selected.

Pour liquid detergent into the dispenser drawer
compartment marked just before starting the
programme.

Any fabric softener or starching additives must be
poured into the compartment marked before
starting the wash programme.

The bleaching agent (chlorine) can be used only
for white or fast coloured cotton and linen items.
Pour it into the compartment marked .

Follow the product manufacturer’s
recommendations on quantities to use.

Quantity of detergent to be used

The type and quantity of detergent will depend on
the type of fabric, load size, degree of soiling and
hardness of the water used.

Water hardness is classified in so-called
“degrees” of hardness. Information on hardness
of the water in your area can be obtained from
the relevant water supply company, or from your
local authority.

Follow the product manufacturers’ instructions on
quantities to use.

Use less detergent if:
– you are washing a small load
– the laundry is lightly soiled
– large amounts of foam form during washing.

Should it not be possible to have access to the
drain hose because, for example, the appliance
is built in the kitchen furniture, slightly loosen the
drain filter after placing a bowl on the floor, to let
the water come out slowly.

At the end screw the filter again.

■ The machine fills then empties

immediately

■ The machine does not empty

and/or does not spin:

■ There is water on the floor:

■ Unsatisfactory washing results

■

The end of the drain hose is too low. Refer to
relevant paragraph in “water drainage”
section.

■

Check that the drain hose is not squashed or
kinked.

■

The drain filter is blocked. Clean it.

■

The anticrease or no spin option has been
selected.

■

The laundry is not evenly distribuited in the
drum.

■

Too much detergent or unsuitable detergent
(creates too much foam) has been used.

■

Check whether there are any leaks from one
of the inlet hose fittings. It is not always easy
to see this as the water runs down the hose;
check to see if it is damp.

■

Check that the drain hose is not damaged.

■

Check that the drain filter has been refitted
correctly after cleaning.

■

Too little detergent or unsuitable detergent

■ Problem Possible cause

■

■ The machine vibrates or is noisy:

Check that all the transit bolts and packing
have been removed.

■

Check that the machine is not resting against
anything.

■

Check that the support feet are resting firmly
on the ground and that the lock nuts are
securely tightened.

■

Check that the laundry is evenly distributed in
the drum.

■

Maybe there is very little laundry in the drum.

■

■ The door will not open:

■ Spinning starts late or the

machine does not spin:

The programme is still running.

■

The door lock has not yet been released.

■

The electronic unbalance detection device
has cut in because the laundry is not evenly
distributed in the drum. The laundry is
redistributed by reverse rotation of the drum.
This may happen several times before the
unbalance disappears and normal spinning
can resume. If, after 10 minutes, the laundry
is still not evenly distributed in the drum, the
machine will not spin. In this case,
redistribute the load manually and reselect
the spin programme.
