Tip:

We recommend that you keep all parts for bracing as you will have to replace them if you need to move your machine at a later date.

All these parts, as well as those used for the entire machine are made from recyclable materials. Please consider this when disposing of them at the end of your machine's service life.

Information:

Before leaving the plant your appliance was thoroughly tested; therefore you may notice a small amount of water in the tank or in the detergent dispensers.

Information:

If you wish to place your appliance in line with your furniture units, you can break the hose attachment hooks.

Important:

Be careful not to crush the hoses.

- SETTING UP YOUR APPLIANCE

- Placement on rollers:

Your machine has retractable rollers so that you can move it easily.

To place it on rollers, turn the lever at the base of the appliance from the right to the extreme left (Fig. 10).

Important:

During operation, the machine must not rest on its rollers: do not forget to return the lever to its initial position.

- Levelling:

Your machine is equipped with two adjustable feet in front to compensate for unevenness in the floor. To adjust horizontality and stability of the appliance, proceed as follows:

- Remove the baseboard (see Fig. 04, previous pages).

- Place the machine on rollers.

- Unscrew the 2 screws used to block the feet using a TORX T20 screwdriver (Fig. 11).

- Adjust the two feet using a flat head wrench or pliers to level the appliance.

- Put the appliance back on its feet and return the lever to its original position.

- Check the stability of the machine by pressing on the lid in a diagonal direction (direction AA then direction BB) (Fig.12). There must be no visible movement of the appliance.

- When the adjustment is correct, screw the 2 screws for blocking the feet and reattach the baseboard.

Tip:

We strongly advise against installing

your appliance:

– in a damp, poorly-ventilated room.

– in a place where it could be subject to water splattering.

- on a carpeted floor. If you cannot avoid it, take all precautions so as not interfere with air circulation at the bottom, to ensure good ventilation of the internal components.

• CONNECTING YOUR APPLIANCE

• Cold water supply (Fig. 13):

- Connect the intake hose to a valve with a threaded end ∅ 20x27 (3/4 BSP).

Check presence of the seal.

Water intake:

— Min. water pressure : 0,1 MPa or 1 bar

– Max. water pressure : 1 MPa or 10 bars

• Electrical power supply (Fig. 13):

The electrical installation must comply with the prevailing standards and the Electricity Board's regulations in the country concerned, in particular for the earth electrode.

We cannot be held liable for any incident caused by incorrect electrical installation.

Tip:

Tips for electrical installation of your

appliance:

- Do not use an extension cord, adaptor or multiple plug.

– Never remove the grounding.

- The plug must be easy to access but out of the reach of children.

In the event of uncertainty, consult your installer.

• Discharge of waste water (Fig. 13):

- Connect the emptying hose:

• either temporarily, to a sink or bathtub
• or permanently, to a ventilated siphon.

If your set-up does not have a ventilated siphon, ensure that the connection is not watertight.

In fact, to prevent waste water from returning to the machine, we strongly recommend leaving free space between the machine's emptying hose and the discharge pipe.

In any case, the emptying crosshead must be placed at a height of 0.80 m to 1.10 m in relation to the base of the machine.

Important:

Ensure the emptying hose is supported using an attachment to prevent the cross-head from coming off during emptying and causing a flood.

Important:

Your appliance complies with European directives 2006/95/CE (low voltage directive) and 2004/108/CE (electromagnetic compatibility).

To help you care for your textiles, they have a label giving the necessary information. They

are expressed in codes by the symbols below:

• TREATING STUBBORN STAINS

Tip:

Perspiration, blood, fruit, wine and chocolate stains generally come out with biological detergents, but other stains require specific treatment before machine washing. First conduct a test on an inconspicuous part of the textile and rinse thoroughly. If you use a stain remover, always start on the outside of the stain to prevent ring marks.

CANDLE WAX: remove the excess of the stain by scraping. Then place absorbent paper on either side of the fabric and run a warm iron over the stain to melt the remaining wax.

COFFEE - TEA:

• on white cotton: blot the stain using hydrogen peroxide* before normal washing
• on coloured cotton: blot the stain using a vinegar/water solution (2 tbsp white vinegar for 1/4 litre of water) before normal washing
• on wool: blot the stain using a combination of equal parts alcohol* and white vinegar before washing the item.

SLUDGE - TAR: use Eau Écarlate* stain remover or otherwise, spread a little butter on the stain, leave to penetrate then blot with turpentine* spirits.

CHEWING-GUM: chill it using an ice cube. As soon as it is hard enough, scratch it with your nail. Remove the remaining ring using a degreasing agent*.

CHOCOLATE - FRUIT - FRUIT JUICE - WINE:

blot the stain using a vinegar/water solution (2 tbsp white vinegar for 1/4 litre of water). Rinse well and wash normally.

BALLPOINT PEN - MARKER PEN: remove as much ink as possible by blotting the stain with absorbent paper. Place a clean cloth behind the stain and blot the stain using another cloth soaked in white vinegar for synthetic and artificial fibres or 90* alcohol for other fibres (if the textile allows).

GREASE: immediately sprinkle the fabric with talc. Leave to dry and brush gently to remove the talc. Then blot using a degreasing agent such as mineral spirits*. Rinse and wash normally.

GRASS: blot the stain using white vinegar or 90* alcohol (if the textile allows) then rinse and wash.

KETCHUP - TOMATO SAUCE: prepare a solution with one part glycerine for one part hot water. Let the item soak for an hour, then wash normally.

PAINT: do not let paint spots dry. Treat them immediately with the solvent indicated on the paint pot (water, turpentine*, white spirit*). Soap then rinse.

MAKE-UP: place the stained side of the fabric on absorbent paper, then dampen the other side of the fabric with 90* alcohol if the item allows and if the stain is not greasy. Otherwise, use a degreasing agent (such as trichloroethylene*).

RUST: for slight stains, cover with salt, squeeze lemon juice on the salt and leave overnight; then rinse thoroughly and wash. For heavier stains, use a rust removal product and follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully.

BLOOD: soak the stained item as promptly as possible in cold salty water, then wash normally.

- Use of stain removers

Important:

To avoid risk of fire and explosion:

(*) if you use the products recommended in the recipes above, take care to rinse your laundry thoroughly before placing it in your machine - if you use commercial stain removers, follow the manufacturer's recommendations carefully. We remind you that, generally speaking, stains that are treated promptly are easier to remove. However, old stains that have been ironed or dried in tumble dryers cannot be removed.

• PREPARING YOUR LAUNDRY

Important:

Before the first wash, we recommend running a "COTTON 90° without pre-wash" cycle without load, using 1/2 the usual detergent quantity. This will eliminate any manufacturing residue that may be left in the machine.

- Sorting your laundry:

Refer to the textile care codes table for sorting your laundry and choose the program that best suits the labels. For mixed loads, use the program suited to the most delicate laundry. For new laundry, take the precaution of checking that the fabric does not bleed: see "Colour test" opposite.

• The colour test:

At the first wash, coloured laundry often bleeds, except if it is guaranteed colourfast. Before placing it in the machine, perform the following test:

• Take an inconspicuous part of the item.
  – Dampen it using hot water.
• Then press it against a white cloth.
• If the colour does not bleed, you can wash it normally in the machine.
• If the colour does bleed, wash it separately in the machine or by hand.

- Laundry loads

Important: For optimum results, do not overload the drum and do not exceed the following maximum loads :

Cotton / Colours ____ 8 kg

Mixed 3 kg

Delicates / Wool____ 2 kg

Average weight of some items of "light" dry laundry

Single sheet ____ 400 to 500 g

• PREPARING YOUR LAUNDRY (continued)

- Checking your laundry

Important:

Failure to follow these recommendations can cause serious or even irreversible damage (damaged drum, torn laundry, etc.) and will void the warranty.

• Empty pockets: remove all objects such as lighters and matches, etc.
  – Close zippers and press fasteners.
• Remove hooks from net curtains or place your net curtains in a washing bag.
• Remove poorly-attached buttons, pins, clips.
• Place small items of laundry (ribbons, pouches, etc.) in a washing bag.
  – Turn multi-layer garments inside out (sleeping bag, anorak, etc.).
  – Turn knits, fabrics with embossed decoration, trousers and stitched garments inside out.

- LOADING YOUR LAUNDRY

Conduct operations in the following order:

- Opening the machine

• Check that the machine is switched off.
• Press the knob located at the front of the machine. The lid opens.

- Opening/Closing the drum

• Open the drum by pushing on the knob located on the front door (Fig. 14).

Diagram of a hand inserting a component into a device panel, showing directional arrows (no text or symbols)

• Introduction of the laundry

To achieve the best washing performance, after sorting and unfolding, place the laundry in the drum, not piled up but spread out evenly. Mix large and small items to achieve the best spinning, so there is no imbalance.

Important:

When closing the drum, be careful not to trap laundry between the two doors.

- LOADING DETERGENTS (Fig. 16)

• Measuring the detergent

The quantity of detergent to be used depends on the hardness of the water, the degree of soiling of your laundry and the size of the load.

Always refer to the quantity recommendations given on the detergent packaging.

Warning: the recommendations of detergent manufacturers are usually for a drum filled to the maximum. Adjust your quantity in accordance with the weight of laundry in the machine.

These recommendations will prevent excessive use of detergent which causes foaming. Over-production of foam can decrease the performance of your machine and increase the wash duration and water use.

• Detergents for woollens and delicate fabrics

When washing these fabrics, we recommend using a suitable detergent (avoid putting it directly in the drum as some of these products are aggressive to metal).

• DETAILS OF PROGRAMS

The main programs offered by this machine are as follows:

- OptiA 39 min

This 40° C max program lets you wash a usual 3 Kg load of cotton and mixed items in 39 minutes «flat», guaranteeing perfect washing results and maximum energy savings.

• Cotton

This program allows you to wash all your clothes in cotton but more specifically your toweling spin for which the program has been particularly studied.

- Cotton ECO

This program will help you get the best washing performance, saving energy and water.

Important: If you are washing colours, do not exceed 60°C max.

NB: During the first minutes of this program, your washing machine automatically estimates the load of laundry placed inside. It adjusts water usage and program duration accordingly for perfect washing results. Thus the remaining time displayed may vary considerably once this measurement has been made.

• Mixed

For a load comprising RESISTANT SYNTHETICS or MIXED FIBRES.

• Delicates/Wool

For a load comprising NET, DELICATE FABRICS, FRAGILE ITEMS and "MACHINE-WASHABLE" wools.

NB: Program with low mechanical action, very low spin and agitation action adjusted to suit these fabrics.

- Handwash

For a load comprising SILK or PARTICULARLY DELICATE FABRICS.

NB: Program 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.

- Flash 25 min

This program at 40° C max lets you wash a 3 Kg load of lightly soiled laundry cromprising COTTON, WHITES, COLOURS or RESISTANT SYNTHETICS.

Its duration is just 25 minutes.

- Rinse

Rinse followed by, on selection :

– spin with emptying,
– emptying only ("Draining" option),
- a full tank stop.

Important: With a "rinse only" followed by spin or "spin only", be careful to se the appropriate spin speed for the of laundry in the machine.

- Spin

This program lets you spin the laundry at the speed of your choice. It is followed by emptying.

• DETAILS OF OPTIONS

- Prewash ⏻

Specially designed for soiled laundry (mud, blood, etc.).

Cold agitation precedes a heating phase 30°C. This cold agitation helps remove the stain particles before heating.

Important:

In this case, it is necessary to also place detergent in the “|” compartment of the detergent dispenser.

- Intensive ⬤ ⁺

This function improves washing performance and by automatically increasing the temperature of the wash water and the agitation time, it treats stubborn stains.

- Rinse plus

"Sensitive and allergic skin cycle": adds an extra rinse to the wash cycle.

- Easy ironing

Through reduced agitation and controlled cooling of the wash water, this program limits wrinkles in the laundry and makes ironing easier.

Important:

Before switching your machine on, check that the electrical power cord is connected and the water valve is open. Ensure that the drum doors and the machine lid are properly closed. In the "End of cycle" phase, when "STOP" is displayed, any action on one of the control elements (selector or buttons) lets you return to "Programming" mode.

For safety reasons, at the end of a cycle, we recommend disconnecting the power cord and shutting off the water supply valve.

• PROGRAMS FOR THE TESTS ACCORDING REGULATION DELEGATE (UE) N° 1061/2010

• Program cotton standard at 60°C : Cotton eco 60 - without option - spin max
• Program cotton standard at 40°C : Cotton eco 40 - without option - spin max

- OTHER FUNCTIONS

Your washing machine memorises your washing habits. For each new program it records the temperature, speed and the options that you most frequently use and proposes them as soon as you switch on.

Important:

When starting your appliance, it proposes the manufacturer's settings, but after a few cycles it will take into account your own settings.

- Draining

This function is for very delicate laundry and lets you eliminate spinning and go directly to the emptying phase.

- Full tank stop

This function lets you remove laundry from your machine before the spin phase or lets you defer this phase, and your laundry remains in the water to prevent it from creasing.

NB: When the machine is at full tank stop, the "Rinse" light and the remaining time light flash alternately.

The display ④ shows "00:00".

cycle sequence

Then:

— either you want to empty before spinning.

In this case, choose a spin speed suited to the type of laundry, using the "Spin" button

Press the "Start/Pause" button. Fine program will end automatically.

— or you want to empty only.

In this case, using the "Spin" button, ⑨ C choose the "Drain" function (spin speed "110").

Press the "Start/Pause" button .The program will end automatically.

- Delayed start

You can delay the start of your program by 1 to 24 hours to take advantage of preferred energy rates or to end the cycle at the time desired.

To do this, select the required duration by pressing successively on the "Delayed Start" (+) or (-) buttons until you reach the duration required.

NB: The time remaining before the start of the cycle is counted in hours up to 1 hour, then in minutes from 59 to 1 minute.

Information:

During the entire wait period, four little segments light up one after the other.

At the end of the wait period, the program starts and the machine counts the time remaining before the end of the cycle.

• OTHER FUNCTIONS (continued)

- Remaining Time Display

— During programming, the display 📋s

you the estimated duration of the program for a standard load (*).

(*) The time indicated by the machine at the start of the program may vary during the cycle :

- After estimating the load contained in the drum.

- If you change the washing temperature (even during the spin), if you add or remove options, the time will be recalculated and updated on the display.

• AUTOMATIC SAFETY FEATURES

- Lid opening safety

• As soon as the wash cycle has begun, your machine lid locks.
• As soon as the cycle ends or when the machine is at full tank stop, the lid unlocks.
• If you have programmed a "Delayed start", the lid is not locked during the wait period preceding the start of the cycle.
• If you want to open the lid during the cycle, press briefly on the "Start/Pause" button and wait at least 1 to 2 minutes so that the lid safety feature unlocks.

Important:

Depending on the moment during the cycle when you wish to open the lid, this period may be longer since a cooling period is required.

Indeed, during the cycle, to prevent the lid from unlocking, the temperature inside the machine must not exceed a certain threshold, to prevent serious burns.

— During the cycle, the display shows you the estimated time remaining until the end of the cycle at all times.
- If power is disconnected during the wash phase, when power returns the time displayed may be less than the actual remaining time. This time will be adjusted at the start of the rinse phase.

- Anti-foam safety

Your washing machine can detect excessive production of foam during the spin.

In this case, the spin stops and the machine is emptied.

The cycle then resumes, adjusting the spin speeds and possibly adding an extra rinse.

- Water safety

During operation, the water level is constantly checked to prevent any overflow.

- Spin safety

Your washing machine has a safety feature that can limit spinning if it detects that the load is poorly distributed.

In this case, your laundry may be insufficiently spun. Spread out your laundry evenly in the drum and program a new spin.

We recommend that you check the condition of water supply and emptying hoses. If you observe the slightest cracking, do not hesitate to replace them with identical hoses available from the manufacturer or its After-Sales Service.

- Replacement of the water supply hose

When changing it, ensure it is well tightened and that there is a seal at both ends.

- Replacement of the power cord

Important:

To ensure your safety, this must be carried out by the manufacturer's after-sales service team or a qualified professional.

- Risk of freezing

If there is a risk of freezing, disconnect the water supply hose and empty the water that may be left in the emptying hose, placing the hose as low as possible in a cup.

Tip:

Certain incidents may arise when using your washing machine; here are the points to be

checked.

Problems: Possible causes / Remedies:
The cycle does not start:	- you have not pressed the “Start” button.- the appliance is not connected to the power source:- check that the plug is plugged in.- check the circuit-breaker and the fuses.- the water intake valve is closed (d01).- the machine lid is not properly closed (d07).- the pause function is activated.
The sensitive buttons are inactive:	- the "Child Safety" feature is activated: deactivate it by pressing the appropriate buttons.
The display is off:	- check that the plug is plugged in.- check whether the circuit-breaker is activated.- your machine is in "Energy savings" mode (display goes off after 1hr without action).
Strong vibrations during spinning:	- your machine is not properly unpacked: check that all the struts used for transport have been removed.- the floor is not horizontal.- your machine is not steady on all 4 feet: adjust the feet.
The load is not spun or insufficiently spun:	- you have selected a program without spin, for example "Draining".- the spin safety feature has detected poor distribution of the load in the drum: unpile the laundry and program another spin phase.

Important:

Generally speaking, and regardless of the anomaly observed, the machine should be stopped, the power cord disconnected and the water intake valve closed.

Problems: Possible causes / Remedies:
A puddle of water forms around the machine:	Caution: First remove the plug or cut off the relevant fuse and close the water intake valve.During operation of the appliance, the constant level check prevents water from overflowing. If water comes out of the machine in spite of this, it is possible that:- the emptying cross-piece is incorrectly positioned in the discharge pipe.- the connections between the water supply hose and valve and the machine are not tight: check the presence of seals as well as tightening of connections.-NB:excess foam may have caused overflow: in this case (slight leak), try to re-program a supervised cycle with a smaller amount of detergent. If the leak reoccurs, contact the After-Sales Service.
The machine does not empty:	- you have programmed "Full tank stop".- the drainage pump or filter are blocked: clean these parts.- the discharge pipe is bent or flattened.
The lid does not open:	- the program is not yet finished: the lid remains locked for the duration of the program, and for as long as the temperature remains too high (this may take a few minutes).

• INCIDENTS THAT YOU CAN FIX YOURSELF

Your appliance detects certain operating incidents itself and informs you via specific messages on the display. Below we explain how you can very easily fix these incidents yourself:

Messages Causes / Remedies

d01	Filling fault. Check that the water intake valve is open, then press the “Start” button to restart the cycle.
d02	Emptying fault. Clean the pump filter (refer to the chapter on "EVERYDAY MAINTENANCE: Cleaning the filter"), then press the "Start" button again to restart the cycle.
d07	Cover locking fault. Check the lid is closed then press the “Start” button again to restart the cycle.

Important:

If you have not been able to fix one of the above incidents yourself, call the repair engineer and relay the message displayed (d01, d02, etc.) to make the repair easier.

Tip:

If you have experienced an operating problem which does not match the cases mentioned above, please proceed as follows before calling a repair engineer:

- Turn the program selector to "0" position and turn off the power supply for at least 10 seconds.
