ENGLISH - Keep the transport screws properly for future use. You will need them again if the washing machine needs to be moved to another location. - If it is necessary to transport it to another location:

1. Reinstall the transport screws.

2. Secure the power cable to the rear of the appliance.

Levelling the washing machine - The appliance reaches high spin speeds to remove water at the end of the washing cycle. - Therefore, it is important that it is level and that all 4 feet press against the oor with the same pressure. - This will help to ensure quieter operation and less vibration. Carry out the following steps: - Install the appliance on a solid, level surface. Preferably in a corner of the room. - If the oor is uneven, adjust the feet as necessary to level the device. Do not place any objects under the feet in an attempt to level it. - Do not extend the feet more than necessary. The more extended, the more vibrations the device will suer. Start with the feet all the way in and adjust each one as necessary. - You can use a spirit level (not included) to check that the appliance is level. - Press down on each corner of the top of the equipment to ensure that it does not “wobble”. - All feet must press equally against the oor. - When the device is level and does not wobble, lock the feet by tightening the lock nuts against the bottom of the equipment. Be sure to do this without changing the height of the foot (hold the foot while tightening the lock nut). Fig. 5 Connection of the supplied hoses Water supply hose connection - Connect one end of the water supply hose to a cold water tap and tighten by hand (Fig. 6). Before making the connection, allow the water to run freely until it runs completely clear. - Connect the other end of the water supply hose to the water inlet valve at the rear by turning clockwise (Fig. 7). - Open the tap slowly and make sure there are no water leaks. Warning - Do not kink, crush, modify or sever the water inlet hose. - Squeeze the end of the hose rmly by hand.Bolero DressCode 9900 Inverter FullColor A Bolero DressCode 9900 Inverter FullColor Steel A Bolero DressCode 9900 Inverter FullColor Ice Blue A

ENGLISH - The water supply pressure must be within a range between 0.03 and 1 MPa. If the pressure exceeds this value, a pressure reducing valve (not included) must be installed. - If the hose is not long enough, please contact a specialised retailer, an authorised technician or the ocial Cecotec Technical Support Service. - Never use a second-hand or used hose. Always use the hose supplied with the equipment. Drain hose connection - Drainage point height (Fig. 8) - Height dierence between the oor and the drain: - Minimum 60 cm (24 inches) - Maximum 100 cm (39 inches) Drainage connection types:

1. To the vertical drainage pipe

Connect the drain hose to the elbow (not included) of the drain pipe. Place the elbow on the hose 4 inches (100 mm) from the end of the hose. Insert this section of hose into the pipe. If the hose is pushed down too far, it can cause the washing machine to self-siphon, i.e. to continuously empty as it lls with water. Secure the elbow and hose with a hose clamp (not included) to prevent the hose from slipping out of the tube during use. Fig. 9

Secure the drain hose to the sink trap using a 0.9-1.6 inch (20-44 mm) hose clamp. Not included. Available in hardware or specialised shops. Fig. 10

When washing at high temperatures, there is a risk of burns when touching hot soapy water, e.g. when draining hot water with foam into the sink/washbin. Do not touch hot soapy water. Note: - Damage to the appliance/damage to textiles. - If the end of the drain hose touches the water drained by the washing machine, water can be sucked back into the washer and damage the appliance or the laundry inside the drum.Bolero DressCode 9900 Inverter FullColor A Bolero DressCode 9900 Inverter FullColor Steel A Bolero DressCode 9900 Inverter FullColor Ice Blue A

ENGLISH - To ensure that this does not happen, make sure that: - No plug in the sink/washbasin drain. - The end of the drain hose does not touch the drained water. - Water ows freely through the sink/washbasin drain and there are no blockages. - The hose is securely connected. Note: - Do not twist, pull or bend the drain hose. - Fix the hose with a hose clamp to the drain pipe, sink/washbasin, etc., so that the hose will not be forced out by the force of the water. - For added safety, you can also use a drain hose holder (not included) and install the hose over a sink/washbasin or tank, as shown in Figure 11. - The use of hose extensions is not recommended; if absolutely necessary, the extension should have the same diameter as the original hose and should not exceed 150 cm in length (Fig. 12). - If drain hose is too long, do not force it into the washing machine as it will cause abnormal noises. - Make sure that if you insert the drain hose into a standpipe, the end does not drop more than 15 cm. If the hose is pushed down too far, it can cause the washing machine to self-siphon, i.e. to continuously empty as it lls with water. - After installation, wait a few hours before operating the appliance to allow it to acclimatise to the ambient conditions in the room. - Only connect the device when the installation has been completed.

Drum illumination - The drum shall remain illuminated during the whole process of setting programmes or functions. - If a programme is cancelled, the lighting can be activated by opening the door of the washing machine. - When a washing cycle is in operation, the illumination will be activated automatically when there is a change of status. - Pressing any icon on the control panel (except the power icon) will also activate the lighting. Load Balancing System The washing machine has an automatic eccentric load detection system. In the spinning process, if the laundry is unevenly distributed, the appliance will level and adjust the laundry until it is evenly distributed before spinning. If the laundry cannot be evenly distributed within the specied time, the appliance will not rotate to avoid excessive vibrations. At this point, you should check whether the laundry is knotted or tangled and select the SPIN programme after rearranging the laundry. When you wash less laundry, such as a pair of trousers, a jumper, a bath towel, etc., the machine may not complete the spinning process due to balance protection. Wash large and small items together as much as possible so that they do not get tangled and in any case, it is easier to release them evenly and complete the spinning process smoothly. NOTE: Due to the dierent types and materials of laundry, the automatic adjustment and balancing system of the appliance can level and adjust the laundry several times to extend the spinning time. This is a normal phenomenon, not a machine malfunction.Bolero DressCode 9900 Inverter FullColor A Bolero DressCode 9900 Inverter FullColor Steel A Bolero DressCode 9900 Inverter FullColor Ice Blue A

ENGLISH Before the rst wash - All washing machines are tested before leaving the factory under strict quality control. This process involves running several washing cycles. As a result, a small amount of water may remain in the drum and drainage system.

WARNING: DANGER OF BURNS. Danger of skin injury from hot water!

Take special care when draining water from the appliance and opening the lid. It is advisable to clean the lter of the drain pump from time to time to ensure that there are no problems. The pump of the appliance may become blocked with loose debris (remember to check the drum and remove visible debris after each load). Fabrics that shed large amounts of lint can also cause blockages. To access the drain pump lter, you must rst open the cover on the bottom right-hand side. Press lightly to open the lid (Fig. 23). With the lid open, proceed as follows:

1. If the appliance has not been drained, try draining it now. First, turn the washing

cycle knob to select the SPIN programme, press the SPEED button until the display shows “-”, then press the START/PAUSE button. Wait a moment for the pump to drain the water from the drum. If the pump is totally blocked, the water will not be able to drain, and the cycle will end.

2. Turn o the tap so that no more water enters. Switch o the appliance. Disconnect

the power cord from the plug.

3. Use the removable drain hose located on the lter access opening to drain the

remaining water into a suitable container (up to 20 litres of water can be drained). Remove the plug from the hose and place it over the side of a suitable container and allow the water to drain out of the drum. When nished, replace the sealing plug on the end of the hose and return the hose to its storage location. Be careful not to spill the drained water on the oor (Fig. 24).

4. Turn the lter cover counterclockwise to remove the lter. A small amount of residual

water may ow out when the lid is removed. Clean the inside, as well as the lter itself, removing any debris or foreign objects. Remove any lint, dirt or detergent residue from the lter thread. You can use water, a cloth or a soft brush. Reinstall it in its original position (Fig. 25).

Problem Cause and possible solution There are coloured stains and oil stains on the drum The appliance requires a service wash. Run a DRUM CLEAN washing cycle without detergent and laundry. Bad smells Due to the use of rubber parts, the machine will have a rubber smell at the beginning of use, but the rubber smell will gradually disappear during use. Leave the door ajar after each washing cycle. The door cannot be opened The safety protection function is in operation and the water temperature and/or water level are too high. If the programme has nished normally, but there is a power failure. Is the CHILD LOCK function activated? Deactivate the child lock function. Turn o the delay end function. Water spillage from detergent drawer The drawer is blocked with detergent and requires cleaning. The water pressure is too high and needs to be lowered; close the tap on the water supply pipe slightly and try again. The appliance is tilted forward - It must be level when in its nal position. Water leaks Water supply hose is loose, check connections. Water supply hose is tight but still leaks; if so, replace the rubber washers, or the water supply hose does not have the rubber washer. The drain hose is not positioned correctly. In case of water leakage inside the machine, turn o the power supply and contact Cecotec Technical Support. Does not turn on Appliance is not fully plugged in or not plugged in enough to make contact. No power is reaching the socket. Check the fuses and control and protection elements of the electrical installation.Bolero DressCode 9900 Inverter FullColor A Bolero DressCode 9900 Inverter FullColor Steel A Bolero DressCode 9900 Inverter FullColor Ice Blue A

ENGLISH Washing cycle does not start The door is not properly closed. The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed. The water tap has not been turned on to allow water to ow into the appliance. A delay end function has been congured. No water or detergent enters the drum. Error “E02” appears on the display Water supply hose is kinked or bent. The water supply hose is not connected to the water supply. The water pressure is too low. The water tap has not been opened to allow water to ow into the machine. There is no water supply in the dwelling. The mesh lter in the water supply hose and/or the water inlet valve is/are blocked. Tap and/or water supply pipe is/are frozen. The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed. There is already enough water in the drum. Water discharge when the programme starts This is not an issue. Do not open the door to pour water directly into the drum before the programme is run, otherwise the machine may discharge the water that was poured into the drum when the programme was started. The water level is too low when the machine is washing This is not an issue. The water consumption in the wash cycle of this appliance is relatively small, the water level in the wash cycle is lower than that of other types of washing machines. Overlling of water during operation of the washing cycle If the water level drops, the machine will automatically recover the water. When the amount of laundry to be washed is too large, the appliance can automatically ll the water several times during the operation of the washing cycle. Too much foam in the drum or foam overows from the detergent drawer The detergent is not suitable for machine washing (must show the text “for washing machines” or “hand and machine wash” or similar). Too much detergent was used; less detergent is required in soft water.Bolero DressCode 9900 Inverter FullColor A Bolero DressCode 9900 Inverter FullColor Steel A Bolero DressCode 9900 Inverter FullColor Ice Blue A

ENGLISH The high speed spin must be repeated many times (spinning) Due to dierent types and materials of laundry, the load balancing system of the appliance may wobble and scatter the laundry many times to extend the spin time. This is a normal phenomenon, not an incidence of the machine. Machine does not spin No spin speed has been selected. The control panel displays “—“ The machine vibrates a lot during the spin cycle The feet have not been adjusted, causing the machine to rock. New installation: the transport screws, including the plastic spacer, or the polystyrene packaging, has not been removed when installing the machine. The appliance is trapped between furniture and/or walls. The load is slightly unbalanced, and the device is rotating, but at a slower speed. Spinning result is not optimal When you wash less laundry, such as a pair of jeans, a jumper, a bath towel, etc., the machine may not complete the spin process due to balance protection. If the load is slightly unbalanced, the appliance will spin, but at a lower speed, not at the cycle’s default spin speed or the spin speed setting for the cycle. Machine does not drain, drains slowly or “E03” appears on the display The top of the drain hose is too high. It should be installed at a height of 65-100 cm from the ground. The draining pump lter is blocked. Drain hose is kinked or bent. Drain hose is blocked or frozen. The washing programme time stops counting before entering the high- speed spin process This is not an issue. The load balancing system of the appliance tumbles and scatters the laundry in the drum for a long time to achieve balance and complete the high speed spin. In the process of tumbling and scattering, the programme time stops counting before the appliance reaches the high speed spin process. Washing programme lasts too long Programme times will vary due to water pressure, incoming water, temperature, etc. If the wash load becomes unbalanced, the time will increase.Bolero DressCode 9900 Inverter FullColor A Bolero DressCode 9900 Inverter FullColor Steel A Bolero DressCode 9900 Inverter FullColor Ice Blue A

ENGLISH Excessive noise There will always be some noise from the motor, pump and drum during spinning. The washing machine touches other objects. Foreign objects, such as hairpins or metal objects, fall into the drum. The machine is continuously lled with water and continuously emptied The top of the drain hose is too low. It should be installed at a height of 65-100 cm from the oor. The end of the drain hose has been pushed too far down into the standpipe; the hose elbow must be installed 100 mm from the end of the drain hose. The end of the drain hose is submerged in the discharged water. The drained water returns to the apparatus If the end of the drain hose touches the discharged water (water drained from the washing machine), it (the discharged water) may be sucked back into the appliance and damage the appliance or garments. Control panel gets hot This is a slight heating eect of the electronic components on the PCB board installed on the back of the control panel. General issues Your appliance contains sensors that monitor progress during the washing cycle (e.g. water level, temperature, unbalanced loads, wash time/progress).
