EN2 / INSTALLING YOUR MACHINE

•REMOVING THE TRANSPORT CLAMPS Important : Before using the machine in any way, you must first performthe following operations.These comprise removing all the components designed to immobilisethe drum in your machine during transport.These so-called “releasing” operations are necessary for your machineto operate correctly and to conform to the prevailing safety standards. If they are not carried out completely, this could cause severe damageto your machine while it is operating.— Remove the washing machine from its plinth (check that the wedgesupporting the motor is not still inserted in the machine) (Diagram D3) — Remove the 4 screws with a screwdriver(Diagram D4)— Remove the cross clamp by removing the 2 screws(Diagram D5) using a 10 or 13mm spanner (depending on the model). (Ensurethat you remove the two plastic braces fixed on the cross clamp at thesame time as the clamp itself).— Replace the screws in their initial positions. Warning: You must block off the two holes using the hole covers provided (supplied in the accessories bag) (Diagram D6) — Remove the drum-tank assembly locking wedge(Diagram D7) . To do this:- Lift the lid on the machine- Remove wedge- Remove wedge- Release the drum doors, locked in the lower position, by pressingdown on both eaves simultaneously. Warning: Remove the pipe support collars You must block off theholes revealed with the hole covers supplied in the accessoriesbag (Diagram D8). Advice: We would recommend that you keep all the lockingcomponents since these must be refitted if you must subsequentlytransport your machine again. Information: Your machine has been scrupulously checked before it left thefactory. You may therefore notice a little water still remaining in thetank or the products box. •MOVING YOUR MACHINE

•Mounting it on castors If your machine is equipped with removable castors, you will be ableto move it quite easily.To mount it on castors, swivel the lever on the bottom of the machinefrom the right to the far left(Diagram D9) .

Important: The machine must not rest on the “front” castors while it isoperating: remember to return the lever to its initial position. •CONNECTING TO THE COLD WATER SUPPLY Connect the supply hose(Diagram D10) : — At one end to the connection on the back of the machine— On the other end to a tap fitted with a threaded end 20mm dia. x 27(3/4 BSP).If you use a self-piercing tap, the useful aperture must have a minimumdiameter of 6mm.Water supply:- Minimum water pressure: 0.1 MPa or 1 bar- Maximum water pressure: 1 MPa or 10 bars •Replacing a water supply hose When replacing the hose, ensure that the hose is tightly fastened andthat there is a seal at both ends. •DRAINING AWAY THE WASTE WATER Fit the hose bracket provided inside your machine to the end of the drainhose and then connect the hose(Diagram D11) : — Either, temporarily, over a sink or a bathtub.— Or permanently to a ventilated U-bend.If your installation does not have a ventilated U-bend, check that theconnection is not sealed. In fact, to avoid any waste water flowingback into the machine, you are strongly recommended to leave an airgap between the machine’s drain hose and the drainpipe. In any case, the drain hose bracket must be placed at a height of 65 to90cm higher than the base of the machine. Important: Ensure that the drain hose is tied firmly in place with cord toavoid the bracket coming loose during draining and causing a flood.For correct draining of the waste water, make sure that the drain hoseis as straight as possible. In fact, the more bends the less effective thedrain pump.The waste water can be drained away to the ground provided that thedrain hose passes through a point 65 to 90cm higher than the base ofthe machine(Diagram D12) .

•CONNECTING TO THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY Important: For your safety, you must comply with the instructions below. — Before connecting your machine, you must ensure that yourinstallation’s electrical characteristics match those of your machine (seethe details provided on the information plate affixed to the back of themachine).The electrical installation must comply with the prevailing standards andthe Electricity Board’s regulations in the country concerned, particularlyas regards Earthing and installation in shower rooms.We cannot be held responsible for any incident caused by the machinebeing incorrectly earthed. Advice: Advice on the electrical installation of your machine— Do not use an extension lead, adapter or multiple socket.— Never cut out the Earth wire.— The socket must be readily accessible but out of the reach of children.If in any doubt, please contact your installer. Important: Your machine conforms to European Directives 2006/95/CE(Low Voltage Directive) and 2004/108/CE(ElectromagneticCompatibility).

•INSTALLING YOUR MACHINE Important: If you are installing your machine next to another machine or aunit, we recommend that you leave a gap between them to allow forair circulation. Advice: We also strongly recommend that you do NOT:— Install your machine in a damp, poorly ventilated room.— Install your machine in an area where it could be subject to watersplashes.— Install your machine on a carpeted floor.If you cannot avoid doing this, please take every precaution to avoidblocking air circulation at the bottom of the machine in order to ensurethat the internal components are well ventilated. •Levelling the machine: Use a spirit level to check that the floor is horizontal: maximum slope2°, i.e. a discrepancy of approximately 1cm over the width and of 1.5cmover the depth of the machine. •Adjustable feet Some machines are fitted with two adjustable feet at the front to enableyou to compensate for any unevenness in the floor. Proceed as followsto adjust the feet to level and stabilize your machine:— Set the machine on its castors (or tilt it slightly backwards if it doesnot have retractable castors)— Screw in or unscrew the feet to adjust the height to suit the shape ofthe floor (Diagram D13)— Set the machine back on its feet and check that it is stable. •TEXTILE MAINTENANCE CODES — Washing : Never exceed the indicated temperatures— Use of cold diluted bleach possible: — Iron: Low Medium High

— Dry clean: mineral spirit perchlorethylene all solvents — NB: A crossed-out code indicates that it is forbidden •LOADING YOUR WASHING Perform these actions in the following order: •Open the machine

— Check that the Programme selector is correctly positioned on ”O”. — Lift the opening handle on the front of the machine.The lid will open.— Open the drum by pressing the button on the front door. •Insert your washing For optimum washing performance, place your washing, preferablysorted and folded, in the drum, distributing it evenly without heaping itup. Mix large and small items to obtain an optimum, well-balanced spin. •Close the drum Ensure that the drum is correctly closed. Important: Check that the three hooks and the border of the button arefully visible.

•LOADING THE WASHING PRODUCTS Important: (Diagram D14)— The “WASH” container may contain powder or liquid but liquiddetergent should not be used for programmes WITH Prewash and/or WITH “Delayed Start” (depending on the model). — Concentrated softener should be diluted with warm water.— Concentrated bleach must be diluted.— To fill the product containers correctly, place the lid fully open. — Do not exceed the MAXlevel. •Dispensing the detergent The amount of detergent to be used depends on the hardness of thewater, the extent to which your washing is soiled and the amount ofwashing to be washed.Please refer to the dosing instructions on your pack of detergent.Warning: in most cases, the detergent manufacturer’s recommendationsapply to the drum filled to the maximum. Adjust the dosage correctly tothe weight of the washing you have placed in the machine.These recommendations will help you to avoid using too much detergent,which causes foam to be produced. Too much foam can reduce yourmachine’s performance and increase the length of the washing cycleand the consumption of water. •Detergents for woollens and delicate fabrics You are recommended to use an appropriate detergent for washingthese fabrics (avoid placing such detergents directly on the drum becausethey have an aggressive action on the metal). •Before your first wash Before making your first wash, we recommend that you carry out a“COTTON 90 wash without pre-wash” and with no washing in the drum,using a 1/2 measure of your usual detergent in order to eliminate anyresidues from manufacturing that may remain in your machine.

EN4 / PROGRAMMING YOUR MACHINE Information: All the buttons are on micro-switches and do not remain depressed.In any case, the ”Start/Pause” buttoncannot cancel a programme. Important : Before starting your machine,check that the power cable is pluggedin and the water tap is open. Alsoensure that the drum doors are closedcorrectly and the machine’s lid is shut.During the “End of Cycle” phase, anyaction on one of the controls (theselectors or the buttons) returns you to“Programming” mode. As a safetymeasure, when the cycle is over, werecommend that you unplug the powercable and turn off the water tap. •Programming a washing cycle: Indicator lights and position of the selectors— Turn the selector to choose the most suitable programme and washing temperature forthe type of fabric to be washed.NB: Turning the selector to any position other than ”O”provides power to the machine.— Using the selector , choose:- Either a suitable spin speed for your type of washing.The spin speed is automatically restricted in the “Synthetics” and “Wool / Delicates”programmes.- Or drip dry.The cycle will finish with a gentle spin at 100 rpm.- Or stop with tub full of water.Your machine will stop with the tub full of water before the final spin.— Use the buttons to select any options you wish.— Select immediate start by pressing “Start/Pause” ...— ... Or use the selector (depending on the model) to select starting delayed by 1 to 19hours and then press “Start/Pause” . 1

EN 4 / PROGRAMMING YOUR MACHINE ● : These functions can be used alone or in combinations: no illogical combinations can be made. •DETAILS OF THE PROGRAMMES The main programmes provided by the machine are as follows: •Cotton If your washing comprises hard-wearing white or coloured COTTONS. Important : When washing coloureds do not exceed a maximumtemperature of 60°C.NB : During the first few minutes of the programme, your machineautomatically evaluates the washing load you have introduced andadapts the water consumption and the length of the programmeaccordingly to provide a perfect wash •OptiA 45 min This 40°C programme enables you to wash a usual 3kg load of cottonsand mixed textiles in 45 minutes while ensuring perfect washing resultsand maximum energy savings. •Synthetics If your washing comprises of DELICATE COLOURS, HARD-WEARINGSYNTHETICS or MIXED FIBRES •Wool /Delicates If your washing comprises NETTING, DELICATE FABRICS, FRAGILETEXTILES or ”MACHINE-WASHABLE WOOLLENS”.NB : A programme with agitation and spin phases specially adapted tothese types of fabrics.This programme is also suitable for washing textiles specified as ‘handwash’ only. For this, select position ” ” .

•Flash 30min This programme enables you to refresh a small load of 2.5 kg of lightlysoiled washing composed of WHITES, COTTONS, COLOUREDS orHARD-WEARING SYNTHETICS.The cycle time is restricted to around 30 minutesIn this programme, the washing temperature is automatically programmedat 30°C. Important : For this programme, the doses of detergent should bereduced by half. •Rinse only A separate rinse followed by a choice of:— Either spin and drain— Or drain only ("Drip-dry" option)— Or a stop with the drum full of water. •Spin only This allows a separate spin and drain. Important : In the case of "Rinse only" followed by a spin or "Spin only",ensure that you select a suitable spin speed for the type of washingin the machine. •Maintaining your machine’s performance (Maintaining the pump filter): You must clean the drain pump filter regularly (for how to do this, see the section “CLEANING THE PUMP FILTER”). Important :

Your machine’s performance can be affected if you do not clean the pump filter regularly.

To select the most suitable programme for your type of washing, follow the instructions on the labels that most textiles bear.

•SOME EXAMPLES OF PROGRAMMES Important :

The cycle times are provided for an average value “without option”. They may vary according to the wash load, the temperature, etc. — If you programme a “Prewash”, you must add 18 to 25 minutes.— If you programme “Rinse plus”, you must add 17 minutes. 100

EN4 / PROGRAMMING YOUR MACHINE

•DETAILS OF THE OPTIONS

•Prewash Specially designed for heavily soiled washing (mud, blood, etc.).A specific initial agitation in cold water precedes a phase of heating to30°C.This agitation phase in cold water enables the particles soiling the washingto be removed before the water is heated. Important : Detergent must be placed in the ""container in the products box.

•Easy ironing This option washes your laundry more gently, but with an identicalwashing performance. The spin speed is slower so that your laundrycreases less. •Rinse plus "Especially for sensitive and allergic skin": adds an extra rinse to thewashing cycle. •Drip Dry

spin speed ”100” ) This function, for very delicate linen, enables youto remove spinning andto pass directly to the draining of the washing machine. •Rinse hold This function enables you to remove the washing from your machinebefore the spin phase or to delay this phase with you washing remainingin water to prevent creasing.NB : When the machine is stopped with the tub full of water, the / (Rinse/Spin) cycle progress light flashes.There are then two possible cases, depending on the type of machine: — “Full drum stop” selected via a rotary selector:- If you want to drain after spinning, use the selector to choose asuitable spin speed for your type of washing.The programme will end automatically.- If you just want to drain, turn the selector to “Drip Dry” (position “ 100”). — “Full drum stop” selected via a button:in this case, press the “ “button again to end the programme. •Delayed start (depending on the model) You can delay the start of your programme by 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15 or 19hours so that you can benefit from cheap rate electricity or to have thecycle finish at a desired time.To do this, use the selector to choose the time you want the cycleto start and press “Start/Pause” . NB: - Even if you forget to press the “Start/Pause” button after selectingthis option, your choice will still be accepted after a few seconds.- The three cycle progress lights ( ”Wash”, / ”Rinse/Spin” and“Stop”) flash in succession from left to right during the whole of thewaiting period before the cycle effectively starts. •MODIFYING A WASHING PROGRAMME

•During programming: Anything can be changed before the “Start/Pause” button is pressed. •After the cycle has started: You can change the type of textile (for example, switch from “COTTON”to “SYNTHETICS”, etc.). In this case, check that the options you previouslyselected are still there.You must confirm your new selection by pressing the “Start/Pause”button .The machine may then possibly drain off some of its water. •Throughout the cycle: Depending on your model, the following changes are possible withoutpressing the “Start/Pause” button .— You can change the temperature for the same type of textile.NB: If the temperature achieved by the washing cycle is higher than yournew selection, heating the water stops immediately and the cyclecontinues.— You can alter the spin speed throughout the cycle.— You can select “Drip Dry” (100) and “Full drum stop” ( ) throughoutthe washing phase.— You can activate the ”Rinse plus” option until rinsing starts (untilthe cycle progress light / (Rinse/Spin) illuminates).— You can deactivate all the options throughout the cycle providedthat their action has not already finished. •During delayed start (Only for machines fitted with this function): — Any kind of programme modification is accepted during a delayedstart’s waiting period.— You can alter the length of a delayed start throughout the waitingperiod before the cycle effectively starts. NB :

- During this period, selecting a new time cancels out the previous selection. The new period selected is accepted based on the last selectionmade.- If you want to cancel the delayed start completely during this period,set the selector to the “O”position and then briefly press the“Start/Pause” button . •When the cycle is over: When the “Stop” light is permanently lit, you can programme a new cyclewithout having to reset the selector to the “O” position.For this, all you have to do is turn one of the selectors or press one ofthe buttons.The (Wash) light starts to flash.The machine is then ready to be reprogrammed. •AUTOMATIC SAFETY SYSTEMS

•Lid opening safety system: As soon as washing commences, the lid on your machine is locked. When the cycle is finished or when the machine has stopped with thedrum full of water, the lid unlocks.If you have programmed a "Delayed start", the lid is not locked untilthe waiting period is over and the cycle starts.If you wish to open the lid during the cycle, press button briefly andwait 1-2 minutes for the safety system to unlock the lid. Important : Depending on when you wish to open the lid during the cycle,this time delay may be a little longer because a cooling down periodmay also have to be included.In fact, to avoid your being severely burnt, the lid safety system willnot open during the cycle unless the temperature inside the machineis below a certain threshold. •Water safety system: During operation, constant control of the water prevents any overflows. •Spin safety system: Your washing machine is fitted with a safety system that restricts thespin when poor load distribution is detected.In this case, your washing may be insufficiently spun. Redistributeyour washing in the drum and programme a new spin. •Anti-foam system: You machine can detect when too much foam is being produced duringspinning.At such times, spinning stops and the machine drains.The cycle then restarts, adapting the spin rates and possibly addingan extra rinse. 2
