(*) Cycle times are provided as an average, «without options». They may vary depending on the load, water temperature and options selected: for example, you need to add 16 minutes for the «Rinse +» option on the Cotton/Sponge cycle, or up to 3 minutes if your model is equipped with the «Posistop» function.

You washing machine can automatically optimise the length of the wash cycle and the water and energy consumption of every wash.

- Adjustment to the quantity of laundry:

Washing 1kg of laundry is not the same as washing a full load, which is the reason why your washing machine is equipped with sensors that detect the quantity of laundry in the drum and automatically calculate the right levels of water and energy required to produce a perfect wash.

- Adjustment to the hardness of the water:

The hardness of the water in your mains supply affects the wash and rinse performances of your appliance, which is the reason why your washing machine automatically adapts the tumble time and the number of rinses to produce a perfect result.

The water hardness is adjusted when you use your washing machine for the first time (see special insert).

- Adjustment to the type of textile:

Cotton shirts and cashmere pullovers do not demand the same wash, which is the reason why your washing machine adapts its tumble speed to each type of textile.

4 - REGULAR CARE

4.1 - AVOIDING BAD SMELLS

Respect the installation instructions for the drain hose described in paragraph 1.3, leave the lid open after the cycle has finished. Complete an empty cycle with a washing agent at 60^ or 90^ once a month.

4.2 - PRODUCT DRAWER (Diagram 4.1)

• Release the drawer by pressing the Bumps A, pull it towards you. Remove the siphon B, separate the drawer C from the trim D.
  Rinse everything under the tap.
• Refit all of the parts of the drawer, then fit it back under the lid of the machine.

Checking the filters is recommended once a year to ensure that the washing machine functions correctly. To do this,

• Unplug your washing machine
• Close the water tap.

WATER INLET FILTER

• Unscrew the water inlet hose from the tap; check the filter at the end of the hose. Remove any detritus; clean the filter with a brush if necessary. Screw the water inlet hose back onto the tap.

PUMP FILTER (Diagram. 4.2)

• Unlock part A at the bottom of the drum by pressing a pencil into hole B while pushing to the right.
• Remove any small objects that may have fallen between the drum and the tank.
• Turn the drum forwards.
• Remove the pump filter, remove any objects that may be present, and rinse in water
• Reposition parts C and A;
• Push part A to the left until it clicks into place.

After you have finished checking:

• Open the water tap.
• Reconnect your washing machine.

4.4 - OUTSIDE PANELS

6 - INFORMATION CONCERNING THE EU REGULATIONS 2019/2023

Additional product information is provided below in accordance with the EU 2019/2023 regulation. The reason: obligatory compliance with energy saving directives applicable to all devices sold in the EU.

PRODUCT INFORMATION

PROGRAM FOR TESTING IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) NO. 2019/2014

• ECO 40-60 program - without options - max. spin

The ECO 40-60 program is suitable for washing moderately dirty cotton textiles labelled washable at 40^ or 60^ , in the same cycle. This program is used to test compliance with the EU ecodesign legislation.

(*) Depending on model.

Values provided for programs other than the ECO 40-60 program are simple guidelines. They may vary depending on the appliance's conditions of use and environment.

The actual wash temperature may differ from the indicated program temperature for reasons related to energy saving.

The most efficient programs in terms of energy and water consumption are usually the programs that run at low temperatures over a longer period.

Energy and water can be saved by loading the washing machine to the maximum capacity indicated by the manufacturer for each program.

Noise and residual humidity levels are affected by the spin speed: the faster the machine spins during the spin cycle, the louder the noise and the lower the residual humidity level.
