• REMOVING THE TRANSPORT CLAMPS Important : Before using the machine in any way, you must first perform the 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 machine to operate correctly and to conform to the prevailing safety standards. If they are not carried out completely, this could cause severe damage to 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.

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 by turning it a quarter turn- Release the drum doors, locked in the lower position, by pressingdown on both eaves simultaneously.

Remove the pipe support collars You must block off the holes revealed with the hole covers supplied in the accessories bag (Diagram D8). Advice: We would recommend that you keep all the locking components since these must be refitted if you must subsequently transport your machine again. Information: Your machine has been scrupulously checked before it left the factory. You may therefore notice a little water still remaining in the tank or the products box.

• 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 is operating: 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 to avoid the bracket coming loose during draining and causing a flood. 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)

Pre-wash container (powder)

• 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”.— Depending on the model, lift the opening handle or press the pushbutton 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.
• STANDARD COMPARISON TESTING PROGRAMME Cotton (algodón) 60°C - 6 kg - no options – max spin. To comply with the statement on the label, the tests are conducted in accordance with European Directive 95/12/EEC at nominal capacity, ensuring complete use of the CEI detergent from the start of the washing phase. cl22

• Programming a washing cycle: Display 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“ (sintético), ”Delicates/Woollens“(delicado/lana) and ”Hand wash“ (Lavado a mano) 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 “marcha/pausa” ...— ... or select a start delayed by 1 to 19 hours by pressing button ( for how to do this, see the section ”DETAILS OF THE OPTIONS • Delayed start”) and then press “marcha/ pausa” .

Information: All the buttons are on micro- switches and do not remain depressed. In any case, the ”marcha/pausa” (Start/ Pause) button cannot cancel a programme. Important : Before starting your machine, check that the power cable is plugged in and the water tap is open. Also ensure that the drum doors are closed correctly and the machine’s lid is shut. During the “End of Cycle” phase, any action on one of the controls (the selectors or the buttons) returns you to “Programming” mode. As a safety measure, when the cycle is over, we recommend that you unplug the power cable and turn off the water tap.23

EN4 / PROGRAMMING YOUR 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.● : These functions can be used alone or in combinations: no illogical combinations can be made. 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 For more details on the various functions, please refer to the sections "DETAILS OF THE PROGRAMMES" and "DETAILS OF THE OPTIONS". Information: After a power failure, when the power is restored, the washing cycle automatically resumes at the point where it was interrupted. Rinse only (aclarado)

• DETAILS OF THE PROGRAMMES The main programmes provided by the machine are as follows:
• COTTON (algodón) If your washing comprises hard-wearing white or coloured COTTONS. Important : When washing coloureds do not exceed a maximum temperature of 60°C. NB : During the first few minutes of the programme, your machine automatically evaluates the washing load you have introduced and adapts the water consumption and the length of the programme accordingly to provide a perfect wash

NB : A programme with agitation and spin phases specially adapted to these types of fabrics

• Hand wash (lavado a mano) If your washing comprises SILK or PARTICULARLY DELICATE FABRICS NB : A programme with a very gentle mechanical action and no intermediate spins between rinses. The cycle ends with a very gentle, progressive spin restricted to 600 rpm.

• Rapid 30’ (rápido 30’) 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 40°C. Important : For this programme, the doses of detergent should be reduced by half.

Rinse only (aclarado) 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 (centrifugado) 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 washing in the machine.24

EN 4 / PROGRAMMING YOUR MACHINE

• DETAILS OF THE OPTIONS

• Prewash (prelavado) 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.

• Extra rinse (aclarado extra) "Especially for sensitive and allergic skin": adds an extra rinse to thewashing cycle.
• Anti-creasing (fácil planchado) This avoids the washing creasing and makes it easier to iron.
• 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.
• Full drum stop (stop antiarrugas) 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 stoppedwith the tub full of water, the displayshows alternately:Then:— 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”).
• Delayed start (retardo horario) You can delay the start of your programme by 1 to 19 hours so thatyou can benefit from cheap rate electricity or to have the cycle finishat a desired time.To do this, select the time that must pass before the cycle starts bypressing successively on button (this is done hour by hour) and thenpress ”marcha/pausa” . NB: - Even if you forget to press the “marcha/pausa” button after selectingthis option, your choice will still be accepted after a few seconds.- The time remaining before the start of the cycle is counted down hourby hour from 19 hours to 1 hour and then minute by minute from 59minutes to 1 minute.- Throughout the whole waiting period, the delayed start symbol isdisplayed and the four elements light up in succession.- At the end of the waiting period, the programme starts and the displayshows the duration of the selected cycle.
• MODIFYING A WASHING PROGRAMME

• During programming: Anything can be changed before the “marcha/pausa” button ispressed.
• 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 “marcha/pausa”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 “marcha/pausa” 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” stop antiarrugas)throughout the washing phase.— You can activate the “Extra rinse” option until rinsing starts.— You can deactivate all the options throughout the cycle providedthat their action has not already finished.
• During delayed start

— 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,first display “19h”using button . Then press the button again andbriefly press ”marcha/pausa” .The cycle will start immediately.- If you want to reduce the length of time of the delayed start, proceedin the same way but do not press the ”marcha/pausa” button .Your machine is then ready for a new setting.— You can only activate the “Prewash” and “Anti-creasing” options duringa delayed start’s waiting period.

• When the cycle is over: When the screen shows “- 0 -”, 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 screen shows the duration of the programme selected.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 brieflyand wait 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.

• CLEANING THE PUMP FILTER (Option 1) The way to access your pump filter may differ according to the modelof the machine (see options 1 and 2).This filter collects the small objects you may have inadvertently left inyour clothes and prevents them from disrupting the pump’s operation.To clean the filter, proceed as follows:— Open the drum doors. At the back of the drum, you will see a plasticcomponent (Diagram D15)— Release this (Diagram D16) To do this:- Insert a rod (a pencil or a screwdriver, for example) into the hole inthe component - Press down vertically with the rod, while pushing the component over to the right until it is released from its housing— Remove the component — Turn the drum slightly towards the front of the machine, with the doorsopen (Diagram D17)You can access the pump filter through the openings freed byremoving the plastic component .— Remove the filter from its housing (Diagram D17)— Remove the various objects it may have in it— Rinse it under the tap (Diagram D18)— Re-insert it, pushing it firmly into its housing after checking that thehousing is clean— Re-insert the plastic component , ensuring that it is positionedcorrectly in the openings at the bottom of the drum and pushing it tothe left until it is fully engaged (Diagram D19)

• CLEANING THE PUMP FILTER (Option 2) if your machine dopes not have the component shown in DiagramD16, you must proceed as follows to clean your pump filter:— Turn the drum to position the closed doors facing downwards: thiswill reveal a plastic component (Diagram D20)— If your machine is fitted with one, remove the screw — On certain types of machines, the component has a clip.In this case, release the component by pressing on this clip whilesliding the component gently to the right— Then, in all cases, turn the drum again, open the doors and removethe component by sliding it in the direction of the arrow (Diagram D21) — Turn the drum slightly towards the front of the machine, with the doorsopen (Diagram D22) You can access the pump filter through the openings freed byremoving the plastic component .— Remove the filter from its housing (Diagram D22)— Remove the various objects it may have in it — Rinse it under the tap (Diagram D23)— Re-insert it, pushing it firmly into its housing after checking that thehousing is clean— Re-insert the plastic component and the screw by performingall the above operations in reverse order.
• CLEANING THE MACHINE Important : To clean the casing, the control panel and all the plastic partsin general, use a sponge or a soft cloth dampened only with waterand liquid soap.In all cases, do not use:— Abrasive powders— Metal or plastic sponges— Alcohol-based products (alcohol, thinners, etc.)
• CARE OF THE INTERNAL COMPONENTS To ensure better hygiene, we recommend that you:— Leave the lid open for a short time after washing.— Clean the plastic and rubber access components to the tank approximatelyonce a month using a slightly chlorinated product. Run a rinsing cycle toremove any residue of this product.— Run a washing cycle at 90°C at least once a month.
• CLEANING THE PRODUCTS’ BOX Clean the products’ box regularly.To do this:— Press the bosses on each side of the box simultaneously to extractit from its housing(Diagram D24) — Remove the siphons from the rear of the box and separatethe box from its front cover (Diagram D25)— Rinse everything under the tap (taking care to empty any excess waterremaining inside the box).— Refit all the box’ components, ensuring that the box section itself isproperly clipped into the cover and then re-insert the complete assemblyinto its location under the machine’s lid.
• PERIODIC CHECKS To avoid any water damage, we recommend that you regularly checkthe condition of the water and drain hoses. If you notice the slightestcracking, do not hesitate to replace the hoses with identical ones availablefrom the manufacturer or his After-Sales Service. For how to replacethe water supply hose, please refer to the section “CONNECTING TOTHE COLD WATER SUPPLY”
• REPLACING THE POWER SUPPLY CABLE

For your safety, the power cable and, depending on themodel, the complete electric box and its associated cable must onlybe replaced by the manufacturer’s After-Sales Service or a qualifiedelectrician.

• INCIDENTS THAT MAY OCCUR

• The cycle does not start — You have not pressed the "marcha/pausa" button— There is no power to the machine:- Check that the plug is correctly in the socket- Check the circuit breaker and the fuses.— The water tap is closed— The machine's lid is not closed properly
• A puddle of water forms around the machine

First of all remove the plug and the fuse and shut off the watersupply tap.While the machine is operating, the permanent level control preventsthe water from overflowing. If, despite this, water comes out of yourmachine, it may be that:— The drain hook is wrongly positioned in the drain pipe.— The water supply hose is not sealed tightly at the machine or tap end:- Check that the seals are in place and the connections are tight.

• Heavy vibration during spin — All the transport materials have not been removed correctly fromthe machine:- Check that all the transport wedges have been removed (see"REMOVING THE TRANSPORT CLAMPS").— The floor is not level.— Your machine is resting on its two “front” castors (depending on themodel):- Reset your machine on its feet by pushing the castor engagementlever to the right.
• The washing is not spun or not spun enough — You have selected a programme with no spin, for example "Drip-dry"— The spin safety system has detected poor distribution of the washingin the drum:- Untangle the washing and programme a new spin.
• The machine does not drain — You have programmed "Full drum stop"— The pump filter is blocked:- Clean it (see "CLEANING THE PUMP FILTER" for the relevantprocedure)— The drain hose is kinked or squashed
• The lid does not open — The programme has not yet finishedThe lid remains locked throughout the programme.
• The drum doors open very slowly (On machines fitted with gently opening doors)— Your machine has not operated for a long time— It is located in too cold a position.— Detergent residue (powder) is blocking the hinges- In all cases, everything returns to normal after the doors have openedinitially Important : As a general rule, whatever the anomaly detected, youshould stop the machine, unplug the power cable and shut off thewater tap
• AFTER-SALES SERVICE : Possible maintenance on your washing machine should be undertaken by : — either your dealer,— or another qualified mechanic who is an authorized agent for thebrand appliances.When making an appointment, state the complete reference of yourequipment (model, type and serial number). This information appearson the manufacturer's nameplate attached to the rear of the equipment.
