Washing hints
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, woolen.
Temperatures
for normally soiled white cottons
90° or 95°
50°/60°
30°-40°
and linen (e.g. tea cloths, towels,
tablecloths, sheets...)
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).
for delicate items (e.g. net
curtains), mixed laundry including
synthetic fibres and woolen
bearing the label «pure new wool,
machine washable, non-shrink».
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;
Delicate fabrics and woolen: drum no more
than one third full.
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:
1200 gbathrobe
100 gnapkin
700 gquilt cover
500 gsheet
200 gpillow case
250 gtablecloth
200 gtowelling towel

100 gladies’ briefs
600 gman’s work shirt
200 gman’s shirt
500 gman’s pyjamas
100 gblouse
100 gmen’s underpants
Removing stains
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.
11
Page 12
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.
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.

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 woolen,
● liquid detergents, preferably for low
temperature wash programmes (60°C max)
for all types of fabric, or special for woolen
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.
The washing machine incorporates a
recirculation system which allows an optimal
use of the concentrated detergent.
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.
Follow the product manufacturer’s
recommendations on quantities to use and do
not exceed the «MAX» mark in the
detergent dispenser drawer.
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, woolen, cottons, etc.),
12
Page 13
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

Care and cleaning
IMPORTANT!
You must DISCONNECT the appliance from
the electricity supply, before you can carry out
any cleaning or maintenance work.
Descaling
The water we use normally contains lime. It is
a good idea to periodically use a water
softening powder in the machine. Do this
separately from any laundry washing, and
according to the softening powder
manufacturer's instructions. This will help to
prevent the formation of lime deposits.
Maintenance Wash
With the use of low temperature washes it is
possible to get a build up of residues inside the
drum.
We recommend that a maintenance wash be
performed on a regular basis.
To run a maintenance wash:
● The drum should be empty of laundry.
● Select the hottest cotton wash programme.
● Use a normal measure of detergent, must be
a powder with biological properties.
External cleaning
Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with
soap and water only, and then dry thoroughly.
Cleaning the dispenser drawer
The washing powder and additive dispenser
drawer should be cleaned regularly.
To aid cleaning, the top part of the additive
compartment should be removed.
Remove the drawer by pressing the catch
downwards and by pulling it out. Flush it out
under a tap, to remove any traces of
accumulated powder.
Cleaning the drawer recess
Having removed the
drawer, use a small
brush to clean the
recess, ensuring that
all washing powder
residue is removed
from the upper and
lower
part of the recess.
Replace the drawer and run the rinse
programme without any clothes in the drum.
Cleaning the pump
The pump should be inspected if
● the machine does not empty and/or spin
● the machine makes an unusual noise during
draining due to objects such as safety pins,
coins etc. blocking the pump.
Proceed as follows:
● Disconnect the appliance.
● If necessary wait until the water has cooled
down.
● Open the pump
door.
● Place a container
close to the pump to
collect any spillage.
● Pull out the
emergency emptying
hose, place it in the
container and remove its cap.
● When no more water comes out, unscrew the
pump cover and remove it. Always keep a
rag nearby to dry up spillage of water when
removing the cover.
16
Page 17
● Remove any objects from the pump impeller
by rotating it.
● Put the cap back on the emergency emptying
hose and place the latter back in its seat.
● Screw the pump
cover fully in.
● Close the pump
door.
IMPORTANT!
When the appliance is in use and depending
on the programme selected there can be hot
water in the pump.
Never remove the pump cover during a wash
cycle, always wait until the appliance has
finished the cycle, and is empty. When
replacing the cover, ensure it is securely
retightened so as to stop leaks and young
children being able to remove it.
Cleaning the water inlet filter
If your water is very hard or contains traces of
lime deposit, the water inlet filter may become
clogged. It is therefore a good idea to clean it
from time to time.
Turn off the water tap.
Unscrew the water
inlet hose. Clean the
filter using a hard
bristle brush.
Tighten up the inlet
hose.
The dangers of freezing
If the machine is exposed to temperatures
below 0°C, certain precautions should be taken.
● Turn off the water tap.
● Unscrew the inlet hose.
● Place the end of the emergency emptying
hose and that of the inlet hose in a bowl
placed on the floor and let water drain out.
● Screw the water inlet hose back on and
reposition the emergency emptying hose
after having put the cap on again.
● When you intend to start the machine up
again, make sure that the room temperature
is above 0°C.
IMPORTANT!
Every time you drain the water through the
emergency emptying hose you must pour 2
litres of water into the main wash compartment
of the detergent drawer and then run the drain
programme. This will activate the ECO VALVE
device avoiding that part of the detergent
remains unused at next washing.
Emergency emptying out
If the water is not discharged, proceed as
follows to empty out the machine:
● pull out the plug from the power socket;
● close the water tap;
● if necessary, wait until the water has cooled
down;
● open the pump door;
● place a bowl on the floor and place the end
of the emergency emptying hose into the
bowl. Remove its cap. The water should
drain by gravity into the bowl. When the bowl
is full, put the cap back on the hose. Empty
the bowl. Repeat the procedure until water
stops flowing out;
● clean the pump if necessary as previously
described;
● replace the emergency emptying hose in its
seat after having plugged it;
● screw the pump cover again and close the
door.

Malfunction Possible Cause / Solution
The machine does not empty and/or
does not spin:
There is water on the floor:
The drain hose is squashed or kinked. (Red pilot
light flashes)
● Check the drain hose connection.
The drain pump is clogged. (Red pilot light flashes)

the water runs down the hose; check to see if it is
damp.
● Check the water inlet hose connection.
The inlet hose is damaged.
● Change it with a new one.
The cap on the emergency emptying hose has not
been replaced after cleaning the pump.
● Put the cap back on the emergency emptying and
place the latter back in its seat.

Malfunction Possible Cause / Solution
The door will not open:
The machine vibrates or is noisy:
Spinning starts late or the machine
does not spin:
The programme is still running.
● Wait the end of washing cycle.
The door lock has not been released.
● Wait until the door is released.
There is water in the drum.
● Select drain or spin programme to empty out the
water.
The transit bolts and packing have not been
removed.
● Check the correct installation of the appliance.
The support feet have not been adjusted.
● Check the correct levelling of the appliance.
The laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum.
● Redistribute the laundry.
Maybe there is very little laundry in the drum.
● Load more laundry.
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
select the spin programme.
● Redistribute the laundry.
The machine makes an unusual noise
No water is visible in the drum
20
The machine is fitted with a type of motor which
makes an unusual noise compared with other
traditional motors. This new motor ensures a softer
start and more even distribution of the laundry in the
drum when spinning, as well as increased stability of
the machine.
Machines based on modern technology operate very
economically using very little water without affecting
performance.

Positioning
Install the machine on a flat hard floor. Make
sure that air circulation around the machine is
not impeded by carpets, rugs etc. Check that
the machine does not touch the wall or other
kitchen units. Level the washing machine by
raising or lowering the feet. The feet may be
tight to adjust as they incorporate a self locking
nut, but the machine MUST be level and
stable.
Any necessary adjustment can be made with a
spanner.
Accurate levelling prevents vibration, noise and
displacement of the machine during operation.
Never place cardboard, wood or similar
materials under the machine to compensate for
any unevenness in the floor.

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.
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.
4.Connect the hose to
a tap with a 3/4”
thread. Always use
the hose supplied
with the appliance.
Electrical connection
This machine is designed to operate on a 230
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
The inlet hose must not be lengthened. If it is

without prewashing in order to save
detergent, water and time (the environment
is protected too!).
● The machine works more economically if it is
fully loaded.
● With adequate pre-treatment, stains and
limited soiling can be removed; the laundry
can then be washed at a lower temperature.
● Measure out detergent according to the
water hardness, the degree of soiling and
the quantity of laundry being washed.

Guarantee/Custom er Service
Belgium
DECLARATION OF GUARANTEE TERMS.
Our appliances are produced with the greatest
of care. However, a defect may still occur. Our
consumer services department will repair this
upon request, either during or after the
guarantee period. The service life of the
appliance will not, however, be reduced as a
result.
This declaration of guarantee terms is based
on European Union Directive 99/44/EC and the
provisions of the Civil Code. The statutory rights
that the consumer has under this legislation are
not affected by this declaration of guarantee
terms.
This declaration does not affect the vendor's
statutory warranty to the end user. The
appliance is guaranteed within the context of
and in adherence with the following terms:
1. In accordance with provisions laid down in
paragraphs 2 to 15, we will remedy free of
charge any defect that occurs within 24
months from the date the appliance is
delivered to the first end user. These
guarantee terms do not apply in the event
of use for professional or equivalent
purposes.
2. Performing the guarantee means that the
appliance is returned to the condition it
was in before the defect occurred.
Defective parts are replaced or repaired.
Parts replaced free of charge become our
property.
3. So as to avoid more severe damage, the
defect must be brought to our attention
immediately.
4. Applying the guarantee is subject to the
consumer providing proof of purchase
showing the purchase and/or delivery
date.
5. The guarantee will not apply if damage
caused to delicate parts, such as glass
(vitreous ceramic), synthetic materials
and rubber, is the result of inappropriate
use.
6. The guarantee cannot be called on for
minor faults that do not affect the value or
the overall reliability of the appliance.
7. The statutory warranty does not apply
when defects are caused by:
– a chemical or electrochemical reaction
caused by water,
– abnormal environmental conditions in
general,
– unsuitable operating conditions,
– contact with harsh substances.
8. The guarantee does not apply to defects
due to transport which have occurred
outside of our responsibility. Nor will the
guarantee cover those caused by
inadequate installation or assembly, lack
of maintenance or failure to respect the
assembly instructions or directions for
use.
9. Defects that result from repairs or
measures carried out by people who are
not qualified or expert or defects that result
from the addition of non-original
accessories or spare parts are not
covered by the guarantee.
10. Appliances that are easy to transport may
be delivered or sent to the consumer
services department. Home repairs are
26
Page 27
only anticipated for bulky appliances or
built-in appliances.
11. If the appliances are built-in, built-under,
fixed or suspended in such a way that
removing and replacing them in the place
where they are fitted takes more than half
an hour, the costs that result there from
will be charged for. Connected damage
caused by these removal and
replacement operations will be the
responsibility of the user.
12. If, during the guarantee period, repairing
the same defect repeatedly is not
conclusive, or if the repair costs are
considered disproportionate, in
agreement with the consumer, the
defective appliance may be replaced with
another appliance of the same value. In
this event, we reserve the right to ask for
a financial contribution calculated
according to the length of time it has been
used.
13. A repair under guarantee does not mean
that the normal guarantee period will be
extended nor that a new guarantee period
begins.
14. We give a twelve month guarantee for
repairs, limited to the same defect.
15. Except in the event where liability is legally
imposed, this declaration of guarantee
terms excludes any compensation for
damage outside the appliance for which
the consumer wishes to assert his rights.
In the event of legally admitted liability,
compensation will not exceed the
purchase price paid for the appliance.
These guarantee terms are only valid for
appliances purchased and used in Belgium. For
exported appliances, the user must first make
sure that they satisfy the technical conditions
(e.g.: voltage, frequency, installation
instructions, type of gas, etc.) for the country
concerned and that they can withstand the local
climatic and environmental conditions. For
appliances purchased abroad, the user must
first ensure that they meet the qualifications
required in Belgium. Non-essential or
requested adjustments are not covered by the
guarantee and are not possible in all cases.
Our consumer services department is always
at your disposal, even after the guarantee
period has expired.
